Kyle Rittenhouse may be heading back to court, but this time as the plaintiff.
In an interview with Tucker Carlson, Rittenhouse dropped two big hints that he may sue President Joe Biden for appearing to falsely claim on Twitter he was a “white supremacist.”
“It’s actual malice, defaming my character for him to say something like that,” Rittenhouse told Carlson.
“Defamation” is a specific legal claim, and “actual malice” is the standard that must be proven to be awarded a judgment in court.
The use of two specific legal terms appears to be a sign Rittenhouse has been speaking with attorneys about Biden’s statement.
In September of 2020, Biden attacked Trump on Twitter stating “there’s no other way to put it: the President of the United States refused to disavow white supremacists on the debate stage last night.”

The tweet included audio of a clip from a presidential debate in which moderator Chris Wallace asked Trump if he would “condemn white supremacists and militia groups,” over video which appears to have been prepared by the Biden campaign.
That video includes a photo of Rittenhouse as an example of a “white supremacist.”

Heck man, if he goes after the old fool I WILL PERSONALLY contribute to his legal fund…..! FJB!
He had better hurry up……I don’t think the old fool will be around functionally very long, thankfully.
buden has never been fictional… he is a corrupt as swipe (ok i know he cant wipe his own ass) for ever and he raised a son who is just ablut as bad as he is…so not sure functional will matter
you should learn to spell
or proof read, you stupid f……….
Now, now. Surely you don’t think the socialists would put Harris in with Pelosi as VP and then Harris resign and confirm Pelosi as president, do you? ;-(
when is bidens son hunter gonna land in prison…damn hipocrits !!!
Hunter will never be indicted. Hunter is CATHOLIC. CATHOLICS do not need any stinking rules. CATHOLICS do not need any stinking Constitution. Hitler was CATHOLIC. F J BIDET and Pelosi are CATHOLIC. Hitler was Nazi.
LISTEN UP….IT is TIME to Get the BIG GUNS OUT. GET YOUR ENEMY Where it HURTS….in their POCKET BOOK in a COURT of LAW. THOSE Who SLANDER PEOPLE Need to PUT Their MONEY where their MOUTH is. From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄
When you sue globalist puppets, demonrats and rinos it only comes out of the tax payer’s pocket .
I agree with Kyle’s objective if that is what it is but wonder what kind of response or judgement he can get from a cadaver. He should also go after CNN and MSNBC.
Be interesting to see where this goes. I think Rittenhouse needs bodyguards.
Dementia Joe would be found mentally incompetent to stand trial! However Kyle you CAN sue who ever he blames!
CATHOLICS do not need any stinking rules. CATHOLICS do not need any stinking Constitution. Hitler was CATHOLIC. F J BIDET and Pelosi are CATHOLIC. Hitler was Nazi. ……CATHOLICS just do the same thing, and have for a thousand years.
Infiltrate, invade, dominate, conquer, then eliminate. BE CATHOLIC “C” or be DEAD.
Ryan is a “C” TRAITOR. Pelosi, McConnell , and a third of all elected are “C” traitors.
R and D mean nothing to a “C” traitor. ALL CATHOLICS are TRAITORS.
Vote for ANY Catholic and you vote for a traitor.
Rittenhouse- guilty AF!
Please explain your comment. Was it due to his shooting “upstanding black men” of the community “minding their own business”? Was it due to the fact he was armed with a “fully automatic military ASSAULT rifle”? Is it that he “crossed state lines with a weapon”? Was it due to his “illegally protecting private property”? Was it due to his “shooting into a crowd of innocent people”? Was it due to his “illegally protecting his life”?
Tell us why you think he’s guilty if you have the integrity and courage to do so.
RE: your last sentence: the answer is NO.
The court will probably dismiss the case because of deminished capacity.
Lets Go Brandon
Biden is already turning into a Cadaver right before our eyes….so let’s hope he hangs on long enough to get sued.
The Picture of Dorian Gray
Kyle, go after the media outlets and news organizations first. They have much deeper pockets. Biden can legally stall you at least as long as he is in office and has unlimited funds for defense( the U. S. taxpayer). Also, Joe is incompetent to be tried
You’re quite right. As President, Biden is not sueable. Any defamation of character would have to wait until he’s out of office. The same applied to Pres. Trump.
But Rittenhouse should hire a team as good as Covington teen Sandman used to sue CNN, minus Lin Wood, who put Rittenhouse in an untenable position with the Proud Boys.
Mr. Rittenhouse I would be honored to contribute to your legal fund should you sue Biden.
I hope this young man gets billions! Biden has it from his Chinese keepers and the so-called mainstream media and big tech need a come-uppance!
Please keep in mind the Eighth Amendment, even though Biden deserves being sued – BIG TIME.
While I may not have been a fan of Biden, he is shouldering unprecedented burdens, and has thus far performed admirably. He as certainly proved to be up to the job and a very capable president. If this were 2024, I would cast my vote for Mr Biden in a heartbeat. Remember even the president is entitled to free speech and expressing his opinion. Also, why doesn’t the kid quit while he’s ahead. He had a defendant’s judge, who badgered and ridiculed the prosecutor. He insulated the jury from hearing questionable testimony, that would have been incriminatory to the defense. He should let the president exercise his rights or he will risk being another OJ, that will get excessive punishment for a mild offense as a reprisal for what many believed was an undeserved innocent verdict. This kid is an immature brat, who got away with murder. Don’t try to absolve yourself by insulting the president.
Impeach the stupid deplorable racist immoral communist democrat president biddey
Just nothing but a deplorable disgrace to the human race
The Rittenhouse family should have major lawsuits against everyone involved in his case. The Criminal Media, Lawyers, Biden… that goes for anyone that said or accused Rittenhouse . He will be rich enough to buy all the personal protection he could ever need !
Quick, sue his sorry ass before he CROAKS!!
Slow Joe & the Ho are the worst occupiers of this once great office. This is what you get for stealing an election. Communist Dems destroying our country. May GOD bless America in this troubling time.
