Congressional Dems Label Wisconsin Shooter White Supremacist Without Evidence

Representative Ayanna Pressley (D., Mass.) said on Wednesday that the 17-year-old who allegedly fatally shot two people in Kenosha, Wis. while trying to defend the city from looters is a “white supremacist domestic terrorist.” 

Kyle Rittenhouse was charged with murder Wednesday in connection with the prior night’s shooting. Video of the incident appears to show one victim charging the alleged shooter before shots were fired. A second victim was shot after appearing to chase and lunge at the alleged shooter who had tripped and fallen while fleeing the scene of the first shooting.

“A 17 year old white supremacist domestic terrorist drove across state lines, armed with an AR 15,” Pressley wrote on Twitter. “He shot and killed 2 people who had assembled to affirm the value, dignity, and worth of Black lives.”

“Fix your damn headlines,” the progressive “Squad” member added. Her tweet garnered more than 66,000 retweets and 235,000 likes on Twitter by Thursday morning.
