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

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 there in 2020
– followed an initial pledge to write in former congressman Ron Paul as his choice on November’s presidential election ballot.

In a video posted on the social media platform X, Rittenhouse argued that #Trump had a “bad” record with respect to gun rights
and explained he would instead back Paul.
