Kyle wasn't the only one 'emotional' and pretending tears.

Mommy Dearest, hiding her face while pretending to cry along with her dear sweet son. The one that she drove over state lines armed with an AR-15, to protect himself. They were both professionally coached to pretend to cry on cue. Note the split screen the media played over and over.

They look like identical twins. No Oscar is going to either of them but a Razzie certainly would be approriate.

Every single word in that sentence you wrote is wrong.

All of it.

She did not drive him. The gun was not in Illinois.

Reading anything about the case would reveal these things that have been known for over a year.

This feels intentional at this point.

On Aug. 25, ahead of the third night of protests, Rittenhouse, then 17, drove from his home in Antioch, Ill., across the state line into Wisconsin, where he intended to "protect" businesses from unrest. He was armed with an AR-15-style rifle.


He drove himself and was armed.

13. He did not bring the gun from Illinois

The gun was in Wisconsin. His friend was keeping it. His friend is now facing felony charges over it.

This is literally established fact. It's literally part of the weapons charges. It is literally all over the trial.

As I said, I'm starting to wonder at this point. Why are the most basic falsehoods in all this being so damn resistant to correction?

We're supposed to be a lot better than this.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/10/us/rittenhouse-trial-semiautomatic-rifle.html


A friend of Mr. Rittenhouse’s, Dominick Black, was carrying his own semiautomatic rifle in Kenosha that night. Mr. Black testified that he used Mr. Rittenhouse’s money to buy a comparable rifle for him at a hardware store in northern Wisconsin in May 2020, when Mr. Black was 18 but Mr. Rittenhouse was underage. They took target practice together on land owned by Mr. Black’s family, Mr. Black testified.

Mr. Black is charged with two felony counts of providing the gun to Mr. Rittenhouse. He acknowledged on the stand that he was testifying for the prosecution in the hope of a lighter sentence on those charges.

Mr. Black testified that he kept Mr. Rittenhouse’s gun stored at his family home in Kenosha. When the unrest broke out in Kenosha, Mr. Black said, his stepfather took guns out of a safe in the garage and moved them into the house in case of a break-in. On the day of the shooting, before Mr. Black and Mr. Rittenhouse went downtown, Mr. Black saw his friend come upstairs with the rifle, Mr. Black testified.

Though Mr. Rittenhouse had not asked permission to take the gun along, Mr. Black said he did nothing to dissuade Mr. Rittenhouse from doing so when they went downtown, intending to help guard several used-car lots.

15. You were wrong about the second thing, too.

So, I'm correcting that as well after your response.



Do you powerful now?

Information that continues to be repeated despite constant correction. This woman is basically being libeled.

Is that sort of thing ok?

I've watched sporadically. Has the victims family got any screen time at all?

Said Joy Behar. Got big support from the audience.

Not a View watcher; saw this on a video clip on another show, so there might be more to it.

I have one that nearly no one has and the other type is either behind the ear or in the ear.
