Did Rittenhouse Prosecutor Threaten Jury?

Article audio sponsored by The John Birch Society

Because of the many lies the media told about Kyle Rittenhouse after he shot three criminals in self-defense during last year’s Jacob Blake riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, we might easily have concluded that without conclusive video to show what happened, a jury would have convicted him. We can never know with certainty.

We do know the leftist media purposely misled millions of Americans about the case (see article onpage 19). Those who didn’t watch the trial and believe that the leftist media reports things fairly and accurately were understandably astonished by the verdict. Yet anyone who watched the trial, or major portions of it, or even those who simply saw the video, knows why the jury found Rittenhouse not guilty.

Still, the jury required some degree of courage given how the leftist media and its Twitter auxiliary, with help from top Democrats, whipped up a mindless farrago of hatred. Rittenhouse was, they told us, a white supremacist murderer. A domestic terrorist. A murdering racist.
