His attorney is pretty harsh on Republicans using his client, according to an interview published yesterday:
"Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges after he shot three people, two fatally, during protests in 2020. His attorney told Insider that some GOP lawmakers are 'trying to profit' on his client's acquittal. 'They're raising money on it and you have all these Republican congressmen saying come work for me,' said Mark Richards."
Republicans are overtly playing to the "God, Guts and Guns," group. But, Democrats are probably getting reaction donations, while criticizing the verdict.
I don't care what you think or say about me. I never met a combat Vet who didn't have mixed feelings about killing. And, they had hours of conditioning to detach themselves from the acts they were called on to do. The number of Vets who have PTSD is high, none-the-less. Hell, we have laws that protect Child Actors from improper exploitation. This kid deserves nothing less than the same level of protection they get.
