Kyle Rittenhouse and the hysteria of the elites

Under extraordinary pressure, the jurors showed us the quiet wisdom of the people.

America’s liberal elites are broken. They are now totally deranged and detached from reality. That’s become brutally clear in the past 24 hours. While we all knew it was coming, the collective media and political meltdown over the acquittal of 18-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse has revealed a ruling class so warped, so unprincipled, so governed by partisan prejudice, that it essentially lives in a parallel universe.

As the trial wore on, it became all the more clear that the narrative cast about Rittenhouse and that night last August was utterly false. A narrative neatly summed up by Democratic congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, who said Rittenhouse was a ‘17-year-old white supremacist domestic terrorist’ who ‘shot and killed two people who had assembled to affirm the value, dignity and worth of black lives’.
There is no evidence that Rittenhouse has white-supremacist leanings. Unless being pro-cop and pro-Trump counts, which apparently it does for many allegedly intelligent people. The idea that he was some out-of-towner who went to Kenosha just to take aim at protesters is also nonsense. While he lives in nearby Antioch, Illinois, his father, grandmother, aunt and uncle live in Kenosha. He also had a job there and was staying with a friend that night. Those he clashed with weren’t all ‘protesters’, either. Joseph Rosenbaum was, by all accounts, a deeply disturbed individual who went downtown that night to look for trouble.

But, with some notable exceptions aside, much of the great and good doubled down on their ridiculous takes even as the trial disproved them. ‘White supremacy maintains its cover’, thundered one MSNBC contributor in the wake of the acquittal. The fact that the three people Rittenhouse shot were white continues to escape the attention of many, including the UK’s Independent newspaper, which told its readers yesterday that Rittenhouse had killed two black men.
Democratic leaders have also been incredibly irresponsible, albeit in a more euphemistic fashion. ‘I spent a majority of my career working to make the justice system more equitable, and clearly there is a lot more work to do’, said vice-president Kamala Harris yesterday. President Biden put out a statement suggesting he was ‘angry and concerned’ about the verdict, before going on to urge people to accept it.

In the face of all of this, these 12 men and women did what corporate media and many politicians fundamentally failed to do throughout the Kyle Rittenhouse saga: focus on the facts rather than the narrative. Gun-toting teenagers won’t protect America from the hysteria that is ripping it apart. But the quiet wisdom of ordinary people just might.

You should know by now that everything the left don't like is racist and white supremacist. Everything.

Even black people are white supremacists if they go against the narrative.

It's like during the US elections everyone they didn't like was a racist and a nazi but seems like white supremacist has now replaced that. It's how stupid many leftists have become.

Lol. Completely irregular if not illegal. You can't just ignore court orders when you feel like it. This administration is completely out of control.

Agreed. The problem with the far left across the globe has gone as far as classifying any white person as a so-called 'racist' and 'white supremacist'. Irrelevant of anything else. Just based on the colour of your skin you are racist and a supremacist. Guess what... they have been beating this drum so much and consistantly that I, for one, no longer care about being a so-called 'racist' or 'white supremacist'. Hell, I have nothing to feel bad about being white. Absolutely nothing wrong with being white. In fact, where the colour of my skin did not bother me before, now I have to admit that I am a proud 'racist' or 'white supremacist' if that is what they are calling me.
