The GOP Second Amendment House caucus welcomed Kyle Rittenhouse, the teen who killed two unarmed people in Kenosha, Wisconsin in 2020, at the Conservative Partnership Institute office in Washington D.C. on Nov.17, reports HuffPost:
Rittenhouse repeated his self-serving defense and held a question-and-answer session, The Hill reported. He has been hailed as a right-wing celebrity since the killings.
The caucus is chaired by Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.). Rittenhouse posed for a photo with both of them, and with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.)…
“It was an honor to have Kyle join the Second Amendment Caucus,” Boebert, whose close election appears headed for a recount, told The Hill in a statement. “He is a powerful example of why we must never give an inch on our Second Amendment rights, and his perseverance and love for our country was an inspiration.”
The Republicans made no mention of the two people killed by Rittenhouse: Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber. An aspiring nurse, Rittenhouse did not render aid, call 9-1-1 or tell police on the scene that he shot the men.
