Trump doesn't yet have anything to say about the 17-year-old charged in the killing of Wisconsin protesters, Kayleigh McEnany said.
“That’s under investigation right now, and they’ll be reporting back to me over the next 24 hours, 48 hours maybe max, and we’ll have a comment about it,” he told reporters.
The president, however, did appear to take a jab at protesters. Some have damaged buildings and other property as they take to the streets, but the demonstrations have been otherwise peaceful. “It’s a great state, Wisconsin, great state, and they should not have to put up with what they went through,” Trump said. “So the National Guard has done a fantastic job.”
Donald Trump Jr., the president’s son, is pushing the narrative that Rittenhouse was only attempting to safeguard the community. He retweeted a post on Friday claiming that the teen had traveled to Kenosha to “ and offer medical support to people, even the rioters” ― even though there’s no evidence he provided “medical support” to anyone.
