Kyle Rittenhouse who in 2020 shot two men dead during racial unrest in Wisconsin announced he won’t vote for Donald Trump as he thinks Trump is bad at protecting gun rights. Within 12 hours, 21-year-old Kyle issued a statement, completely departing from his earlier stand. He said he had a series of productive conversations with the members of Trump’s team and that his comments last night were “ill-informed and unproductive”.”I am confident he will be the strong ally gun owners need to defend our Second Amendment rights…I’m 100% behind Donald Trump and encourage every gun owner to join me in helping send him back to the White House,” he said.
Kyle earlier said he planned to write in former Libertarian presidential nominee Ron Paul on the ballot.

A week after Kyle was cleared of his charges in 2021, he met Trump creating ripples among the US Conservatives.
When Kyle said he won’t vote for Trump, he alleged that Trump has bad advisers, making him bad on the Second Amendment. “If you cannot be completely un-compromisable on the Second Amendment, I will not vote for you,” he said on X, formerly Twitter. “We need champions for the Second Amendment or our rights would be eaten away and eroded each day.” “I support my decision and I have no takebacks,” he added.

Trump supporters pounced on him and said MAGA will shun him and the left already hates him. “Just unfollowed you,” one person wrote. “MAGA raised unbelievable sums of money for you. Trump welcomed you into his home. This is how you thank him and the MAGA movement after all those years of support?”
Another person commented: “You are a f****** idiot. I am unfollowing you.”
Rittenhouse is now the Outreach Director of Texas Gun Rights, a group that claims it’s working to “restore” the Second Amendment.
