The cold, hard truth of the matter: not one politician or media personality creating or spreading posts supporting Kyle Rittenhouse gives a damn about Kyle Rittenhouse. He killed two people, wounded another, and became a pawn. If he was guilty, they’d gleefully make him a martyr.

Since he was found not guilty, he becomes a “win” for those calling themselves “conservative,” a tool for people who elevate the right of white conservatives to shoot people above the value of human life. For those enemies, foreign and domestic, who seek to divide a country.

These enemies of America, be they Russia and China or Tucker Carlson and Jim Jordan, used a dumb, broken teenager to help themselves, with something between malicious delight and callous disregard for the further weakening of the bonds between our citizens.

In this case, Tucker Carlson was already working on a documentary about the kid—ready to use him for his own financial gain through political division, regardless of the outcome. Every bit of this is about weakening the country, for power, money, or both.

Whether their cause is a vigilante kid, parents threatening school board members, or a congressman posting threats toward fellow members of Congress, it’s not about the people they are using; it’s about dividing and subjugating, all to elevate themselves.
