Kyle Rittenhouse vowed Monday to hold media organizations and public figures accountable for repeatedly calling him a “white supremacist” and a “murderer.”
Rittenhouse announced his team is launching “The Media Accountability Project” to fundraise and bring forth legal action toward media organizations that have reported “lies” and inaccurate information.
The 18-year-old was acquitted on Nov. 19, 2021, for fatally shooting Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, and injuring Gaige Grosskreutz with an AR-15-style rifle in August, 2020.
“Me and my team have decided to launch The Media Accountability Project as a tool to help fundraise and hold the media accountable for the lies they said and deal with them in court,” Rittenhouse told Fox News host and Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson. “We are going to be holding them accountable…. I don’t want to see anybody else have to deal with what I went through. So, I want to hold them accountable for what they did to me.”
