Kyle Rittenhouse reverses course on not endorsing Trump after online pile-on

Man who killed activists in 2020 questioned Trump's gun rights bona fides before backing down in face of hate tweets

Acquitted killer Kyle Rittenhouse announced he would not be supporting Donald Trump's attempt to return to the White House - but ultimately ended up endorsing him anyway after he was inundated with vitriolic messages from the former president's supporters.

The flip-flop by Rittenhouse - who has fashioned himself as a gun rights activist after shooting two people to death in Kenosha, Wisconsin, during racial justice protests in 2020 - followed an initial pledge to write in former congressman Ron Paul as his choice on November's presidential election ballot.
