Kyle Rittenhouse said in a new NewsNation interview with Ashleigh Banfield that his former lawyers used him.
Rittenhouse fatally shot two people and injured another at a 2020 Jacob Blake protest.
He was acquitted of all charges brought against him.
Kyle Rittenhouse said that his former attorneys used him for political reasons, according to an interview with NewsNation's Ashleigh Banfield that aired Tuesday at 10 p.m. ET.
Rittenhouse said he was "set up by my former attorney who was fired because of that, for putting me in situations like that with people I don't agree with."
A photo of Rittenhouse with a member of the Proud Boys (a right-wing group) circulated the internet in January 2021, but the 18-year-old says he was unaware of his affiliation and that his former lawyer John Pierce set up the meeting at a Wisconsin bar.
"I found out they were Proud Boys when I saw the headlines," Rittenhouse told NewsNation. "I thought they were just a bunch of, like, construction dudes based on how they looked."

His Trumpster lawyers wanted to paint Kyle, the BLM supporter, as a white racist to appeal to the Trumpscum base. |
