Kyle Rittenhouse is ready and willing to meet with the president of the United States.
Why? To clear up some misconceptions that have been spread regarding Rittenhouseās trial, including those spread by President Joe Biden himself.
Last month, the 18-year-old was acquitted of all charges in relation to three shootings, two of them fatal, during riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in August 2020.
The jury found that Rittenhouse acted in self-defense.
āMr. President, I hope you see this,ā Rittenhouse said during an episode of Steven Crowderās āLouder with Crowderā podacst released on Wednesday.
āIād have a sit-down and Iāll explain the facts to you so you can understand them.ā
During the presidentās campaign, he implied that Rittenhouse was a white supremacist, a notion that has since been proved completely baseless.
In a video posted to Bidenās Twitter account on Sept. 30, 2020, Biden attacked former President Donald Trump for not sufficiently condemning white supremacy. Rittenhouseās image was shown amidst various alt-right groups.
Later in his interview with Crowder, Rittenhouse reiterated his willingness to speak with Biden.
āIf he reached out Iād be happy to tell him my side of the story of what happened,ā Rittenhouse said.
During a previous interview with Tucker Carlson, Rittenhouse responded directly to Bidenās insinuation that he was a white supremacist.
āMr. President, if I could say one thing to you, I would urge you to go back and watch the trial and understand the facts before you make a statement,ā he said.
āItās actual malice, defaming my character, for him to say something like that.ā
The lawyer who represented former Covington High School student Nicholas Sandmann in his defamation lawsuit against CNN believes Rittenhouse has a strong case to sue the president himself.
āWhat you take from that tweet is that Kyle Rittenhouse was using his rifle and engaging in white supremacist misconduct so itās actionable,ā Todd McMurtry said regarding Bidenās tweet, adding that such a case wasnāt ānecessarily going to win, but itās actionable.ā
McMurtry added that, since Biden was not president at the time, he would not be able to benefit from any kind of executive or congressional immunity.
