Biden Won't Return My Calls, Former IL Teen Rittenhouse Complains

LAKE COUNTY, IL — Kyle Rittenhouse wants to sit down and chat with President Joe Biden, but the president has not been returning his calls. The teen says he's trying to clear his reputation following his November acquittal, and Biden, who called Rittenhouse a white supremacist during his run for president, is on his list of people he wants to talk to.

Rittenhouse appeared on the "Jenna Ellis Show" podcast Tuesday, talking about how the "false narratives" put out in the mainstream media, which have referred to him as a murderer, racist or white supremacist, have made it hard for him to move on with his life, according to the New York Post.

He said he wants to sue Biden over this white supremacist comment, and has reached out to the White House several times but has gotten "crickets, nothing," according to the article.

"He still hasn't replied. So it shows how much of a man he is not to sit down and talk," Rittenhouse said.

Rittenhouse, 19, was acquitted in November in connection with the fatal shootings of two men amid protests sparked by the shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man, by a white police officer, in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in August 2020. He was also acquitted of attempted first-degree intentional homicide in the shooting that injured a third man.
