Kyle Rittenhouse Lawyer Slams GOP For Offering Him Job

Kyle Rittenhouse Lawyer Slams GOP For Offering Him Job

Defense lawyer Mark Richards who acquitted Kenosha shooter; Kyle Rittenhouse says it’s “disgusting” that some pols have offered the teen a job on Capitol Hill.

The lawyer says the Congress members are only trying to cash in on the teenager’s case, Insider reported.

“There’s a lot of people trying to profit on this, and I don’t think people should,” he told the site. “They’re raising money on it, and you have all these Republican congressmen saying, ‘Come work for me.’

“They want to trade on his celebrity, and I think it’s disgusting,” Richards said.

A Kenosha jury acquitted Kyle Rittenhouse of all charges in the case Friday.

Rittenhouse fatally shot two people and wounded a third in alleged self-defense amid riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last year.

Richards also chastised Donald Trump Jr. for offering Rittenhouse a new assault rifle.

“He’s an idiot,” Richards said. “I don’t have to expand on that because it speaks for itself.”

The former president’s son said in a now-deleted tweet that Gun Owners of America would send the teen an AR-15-style rifle — the same weapon Rittenhouse used in the shootings.

Richards said Saturday he has been flooded with death threats since the verdict.

Today's Quote

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
