Perhaps the most famous accusations came not from the media but from elected representatives.@AyannaPressley called Rittenhouse a “white supremacist domestic terrorist” while @IlhanMN just went with “domestic terrorist.”
I ask earnestly: is this not libelous? pic.twitter.com/cKIG3yCaVu

Now that Rittenhouse has been acquitted of all charges, it seems pretty reasonable to ask if President Biden has any plans to apologize. So that’s what Fox News’ Steve Doocy asked Jen Psaki about at today’s White House press briefing:
DOOCY: "Will the president ever apologize to Kyle Rittenhouse for suggesting…that he is a white supremacist?"@PressSec deflects, claiming that President Trump "refused to condemn white supremacists and militia groups." pic.twitter.com/JrldQZSiXf

Donald Trump literally has nothing to do with the Kyle Rittenhouse case. Donald Trump didn’t baselessly smear Kyle Rittenhouse as a white supremacist repeatedly and run a campaign on it.
Doocy: Biden "also gave an interview where he said…Rittenhouse was part of a militia coming out of Illinois…None of this was proven in the trial & Kyle Rittenhouse is saying the president had actual malice in defaming his character. Is that what happened here?" pic.twitter.com/p2h76gQw8c

Psaki is a vile human who is utterly incapable of saying a true statement. https://t.co/d3KUcI4hjC
