Doocy Presses Psaki on Why Biden Suggested Kyle Rittenhouse Is a White Supremacist

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki dodged a question about why President Joe Biden labeled 👤Kyle Rittenhouse a white supremacist.

Fox News’s Peter Doocy asked Psaki why Biden made that suggestion during a White House press briefing Monday.

She replied, “What I’m not going to speak to right now is anything about an ongoing trial, nor the president’s past comments. What I can reiterate for you is the president’s view that we shouldn’t have, broadly speaking, vigilantes patrolling our communities with assault weapons.”

Psaki continued, “We shouldn’t have opportunists corrupting peaceful protests by rioting and burning down the communities they claim to represent.”

Watch part of the press briefing below:

Rittenhouse is on trial for shooting three men, killing two and injuring another. The shooting took place after unrest broke out in Kenosha, Wisconsin, following the police shooting of Jacob Blake in 2020.

During an interview with Fox News, Rittenhouse’s mother Wendy blasted Biden for calling her son a white supremacist, as IJR reported.

“I was in shock. I was angry,” Wendy Rittenhouse said, adding, “President Biden don’t know my son whatsoever. He’s not a white supremacist. He’s not a racist and he did that for the votes. And I was so angry for a while at him and what he did to my son, he defamed him.”
