A woman drove her underage son across state lines with a gun he was not legally allowed to have and that son killed two people and injured another. How does the Republican Party react to those actions? They decided to give that woman a standing ovation.
According to Bulwark host Charlie Sykes, Wendy Rittenhouse, mother of Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse, made an appearance at a Republican women’s event in Waukesha, Wisconsin, where she received praise and a standing ovation over her son’s actions.
Sykes took to Twitter with a screenshot of a tweet from popular Conservative Michelle Malkin’s page. She shared a photo from the event where she was photographed with Wendy Rittenhouse.
“Shot. Chaser,” Sykes tweeted. “1. Featured speaker at Waukesha GOP women’s event: Alt-right icon Michelle Malkin. 2. Standing ovation for mother of Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old who shot and killed two people in Kenosha.”
He added, “To be clear about this. An event sponsored by the Waukesha GOP in Wisconsin, the mother of the 17-year-old boy who took a rifle across state lines to Kenosha, and shot three people, killing two… Received a standing ovation. Led by one of the right’s most notorious racists.”
