Mange amerikanere, meg selv inkludert, er sinte og bekymrede over frifinnelsen av Kyle Rittenhouse, men juryen har sagt sitt, sa USAs president Joe Biden i en offisiell meddelelse fredag.

Biden oppfordret også folk til å uttrykke sine synspunkter i saken på en fredelig og lovlydig måte.

I fjor antydet daværende presidentkandidat Biden at Rittenhouse er rasist, bemerker CNBC.

Biden, who said he had not watched the trial, last year in a tweet from his account included Rittenhouse’s image in a montage of photos and video to blast then-President Donald Trump for refusing “to disavow white supremacists on the debate stage.”

Bidens pressetalskvinne svarte unnvikende da temaet kom opp under en pressekonferanse sist mandag:

On Monday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki refused to answer a question about why Biden suggested that Rittenhouse was a white supremacist.

Psaki assosierte ikke desto mindre Rittenhouse med privat borgervern:

“What I’m not going to speak to right now is an ongoing trial, nor the president’s past comments,” Psaki said. “What I can reiterate for you is the president’s view that we shouldn’t have, broadly speaking, vigilantes patrolling our communities with assault weapons.”

“We shouldn’t have opportunists corrupting peaceful protests by rioting and burning down the communities they claim to represent,” she said.

Kyle Rittenhouses mor Wendy langet i fjor ut mot Biden, som hun sa hadde vanæret sønnen hennes ved å antyde at han er rasist.
