Kyle Rittenhouse launches initiative to fight media ‘lies’ – and Whoopi Goldberg

Teen who shot dead two men and injured another during anti-racism protests in Wisconsin has become a rightwing celebrity

Kyle Rittenhouse, the teen who shot dead two men and injured another during anti-racism protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in 2020, has announced the formation of a group to fund lawsuits against reporters - and also Whoopi Goldberg.

In November, after a controversial trial, Rittenhouse was found not guilty on all charges related to the shootings, which he carried out with an assault rifle while purportedly providing security in the protest-racked city.
