Kyle Rittenhouse, who was acquitted last year of charges related to the shooting of three people in Kenosha in August 2020, has launched a new donation fund he says will help take certain media outlets and individuals to court to hold them accountable for their "lies."
Donations to Rittenhouse's "Media Accountability Project" will help finance the potential lawsuits, he told Fox News's Tucker Carlson Monday night. Rittenhouse said that his team is currently looking at "quite a few" politicians, athletes and celebrities to file lawsuits against, including The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg.
"[Goldberg] called me a 'murderer' after I was acquitted by a jury of my peers. She went on to still say that," Rittenhouse said during his appearance on Carlson's show.
