Ever since the Kyle Rittenhouse “not guilty” verdict came out on Friday, it is still the main subject of several liberal media outcries across the country. Many liberal talking heads and news networks are upset that Rittenhouse didn’t get prosecuted for practicing self-defense.
Many legal experts are now suggesting that Rittenhouse can sue the mainstream liberals like that of Covington Catholic High School kid Nick Sandmann who has famously settled several lawsuits including that of CNN, Washington Post, and NBC.
Sandmann announced on Sunday that he personally spoke with Rittenhouse today and said Rittenhouse is “in great spirits”
“Just got off the phone with Kyle. He’s in great spirits!” Sandmann announced in a tweet.
Sandmann penned a Daily Mail column this week and expressed that he thinks that Rittenhouse should “hold the media accountable”
“The parallels between me and Kyle Rittenhouse are impossible not to draw. The way the media has treated you is terrible, and you don’t have to face it alone,” Sandmann wrote in this column.
As soon as the famous Rittenhouse story came out back in August 2020, he was immediately smeared as a “white supremacist” by many liberal media outlets, Hollywood activists, and Democrat officials.
Then presidential candidate Joe Biden even used Rittenhouse’s video to promote his campaign completely ignoring the facts and context.
“Kyle was almost immediately labeled a ‘white supremacist’ and a ‘domestic terrorist.’ To many, my red MAGA hat clearly meant that I was a racist,” Sandmann added in his column. “Kyle wasn’t given his day in court by his critics. And neither was I. The attacks on Kyle came from the national news media, just as they came for me. They came quickly, without hesitation, because Kyle was an easy target that they could paint in the way they wanted to.” He continued.
Sandmann expressed that Rittenhouse should sue the liberal media for defaming him without knowing the facts first. “While I am by no means an attorney, I have gained some experience on the ins and outs of defamation and can offer an educated guess on what the outcome would be if Kyle were to sue,” he wrote.
“Should Kyle sue? It first depends on what happens in the trial, as those elements would come into play were he found guilty. However, if Kyle is innocent it would create an easier road to winning.” He added in this column that was published before the final verdict came out.
After the final verdict, Sandmann did an interview on Fox News with Hannity and expressed, “It’s really a personal call. I know he has a lot on his plate, on whether he wants to entrench himself in this.” he said
“It was like a car crash you can’t look away from, you are not able to look away. My eyes were glued to the TV watching my character get torn apart,” he added.

I hope these two young men become fast friends and support each other over the years. I hope Kyle sues every individual and media outlet who defamed him. Right up to Joe Biden.
