Against all odds, the verdict came down just the way it would have before there came to be a two-tier justice system in America, with Leftists (Hillary Clinton, Andrew Cuomo, Joe Biden, Hunter Biden) enjoying the “privilege” that they claim white people enjoy, and evading all legal consequences no matter how egregiously they flout the law. Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges, as was only fitting and proper: it was abundantly clear from video evidence that he acted in self-defense in the killings of Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum, and the wounding of Gaige Grosskreutz. It was so clear that he was defending himself, in fact, that he should never have been tried in the first place, and only was put on trial in order to appease Leftists outraged that he had dared to resist the violent rioters they have appallingly likened to the heroes who stormed the Normandy beaches.
Nonetheless, justice was done, and that means that the Left is even more enraged now than it was already. Joe Biden, who has a half-century of public lying under his belt, showed yet again that he lied when he said that he would work for national unity. His handlers issued a statement that depicted the ostensible president stoking the flames of outrage: “While the verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included, we must acknowledge that the jury has spoken.”
Angry and concerned about what, Joe? That one American had shown that he wouldn’t take it lying down when Antifa and Black Lives Matter showed up to burn down a city?
Other Leftist leaders were much more explicit than Biden’s handlers about what exactly made them so angry. Rep. Cori Bush (D-Race Baiter) tweeted: “The judge. The jury. The defendant. It’s white supremacy in action. This system isn’t built to hold white supremacists accountable. It’s why Black and brown folks are brutalized and put in cages while white supremacist murderers walk free. I’m hurt. I’m angry. I’m heartbroken.” At least one tweeter tried to inject a bit of sanity into the proceedings, responding: “Every single person involved in this shooting is/was White. Even the attorneys and judge are White. Where is racism involved? It’s an honest question.”
No answer was forthcoming, of course. How could there be, when Bush’s statement was so far from reality that even Salvador Dali would stand back in awe? Bush’s central assumption, of course, was that white people can essentially do whatever they want in America, without fearing any legal consequences. This is so ridiculous as to defy rational consideration, but it was also ominous: in Cori Bush’s ideal America, violent rioters can maraud at will with no fear of resistance, because anyone who dares to stand up to them will be smeared as a “white supremacist” and found guilty because of that designation, regardless of the facts of the case.
Bush’s hysterical response to the verdict was similar to that of former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-Nursing Homes), who tweeted: “Today’s verdict is a stain on the soul of America, & sends a dangerous message about who & what values our justice system was designed to protect[.] We must stand unified in rejecting supremacist vigilantism & with one voice say: this is not who we are.”
A stain on the soul of America? Really? Like 15,000 nursing home Covid deaths and multiple claims of sexual harassment? Cuomo’s tweet was the height of irony because in reality, it is not the Rittenhouse verdict, but the fact that Andrew Cuomo is a free man today, that is a “stain on the soul of America, & sends a dangerous message about who & what values our justice system was designed to protect.” The fact that Cuomo, like Hillary Clinton and Hunter Biden and so very many other Leftists, don’t have to worry in the slightest degree about facing prosecution, no matter what they have quite obviously done, is the real stain on the soul of America.
But even worse may be the fallout from the Rittenhouse verdict. Watch for numerous new initiatives from Leftists in power to curb “white supremacy” in our justice system, which means to make it more difficult for people to defend themselves from violent Leftists. Kyle Rittenhouse had the effrontery to fight back and win; this must never be allowed to happen again. As always when faced with a loss, Leftists will overplay their hand. In the coming months, lovers of freedom will need to stand stronger than ever.

Rittenhouse Has Been Acquitted, and Andrew Cuomo is Enraged
Andrew Cuomo’s Ominous Reaction to the Rittenhouse Verdict
BY ROBERT SPENCER

Amid the numerous insane reactions on the Left to the verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, the one from disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-Nursing Homes) didn’t rate high on the hysteria meter. Nonetheless, Cuomo’s words revealed a great deal, likely more than he intended, about the mindset of the Left today and its sinister agenda for the future.
Cuomo tweeted: “Today’s verdict is a stain on the soul of America, & sends a dangerous message about who & what values our justice system was designed to protect[.] We must stand unified in rejecting supremacist vigilantism & with one voice say: this is not who we are.”
A man who left thousands of people to die of COVID in nursing homes and is accused of multiple incidents of sexual harassment would be well-advised to think twice before talking about stains on the soul, but far worse is that Cuomo would have us believe that the acquittal of a man who clearly acted in self-defense “sends a dangerous message about who & what values our justice system was designed to protect.” Despite the fact that no evidence whatsoever was presented at the trial to support the establishment media claim echoed by Old Joe Biden that Kyle Rittenhouse is a “white supremacist,” Cuomo still decries “supremacist vigilantism.”
It is enlightening to imagine Cuomo’s ideal world. Apparently, he is trying to convince those who still take him seriously, if there are any such people, that Rittenhouse was acquitted because he was white, and that his acquittal is a manifestation of that “white privilege” the Left is so upset about these days. And his dismissal of Rittenhouse’s acting in self-defense as “supremacist vigilantism” is even worse: apparently, as far as Cuomo and his ilk are concerned, there is no right to self-defense when one is white and defending himself from violent Leftist rioters, as was Rittenhouse.
Rep. Judy Chu (D-California SSR)’s reaction to the verdict was similar to Cuomo’s, albeit more succinct. Chu tweeted simply: “Our gun laws are protecting the wrong people.” On the surface, this doesn’t seem that bad — not remotely in the same league with the frothing hysteria of the likes of New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and even the “angry and concerned” Joe Biden. However, Chu’s eight words look worse the longer one thinks about them.
Who, in the first place, are the “wrong people”? White people, of course, and especially white people who are defending themselves from rioting Leftist mobs. Cuomo and Chu are attempting to undercut and ultimately destroy the idea that any resistance, any resistance at all, to the violent Left is acceptable. When the likes of Anthony Huber, Joseph Rosenbaum, and Gaige Grosskreutz come to your city and start rioting, you must not interfere with them, even if they storm your home and threaten your family. You can’t do anything. The authoritarian Left is taking over, and it will brook no dissent and no resistance. You must submit, because you are evil, a beneficiary of privilege due to the color of your skin, and so your subjugation is a simple matter of justice and the redress of ancient grievances.

It is fitting that one of the primary people advancing this narrative after the Rittenhouse verdict is Andrew Cuomo, who for so many years was the beneficiary of the establishment media’s mythmaking machine, which presented him as America’s greatest governor and a hero of our times versus the venal and hapless Trump, when in reality he was warehousing COVID patients in nursing homes and letting them die. Cuomo’s take on the Rittenhouse verdict is just as contrary to fact as was last year’s narrative about how skillfully and efficiently he had faced down COVID in New York. The Left’s entire narrative on the Kyle Rittenhouse case has always been more fantasy than fact, just like Cuomo’s record of success as New York governor.
It’s silly and pathetic, but it’s also quite serious. Cuomo, Chu, and their colleagues and friends will in the coming days and weeks work assiduously to present the Rittenhouse verdict as a monumental injustice that only confirms their hateful and paranoid claims about America being a racist society with a two-tier justice system that favors white males. The crowning irony is that America really does have a two-tier justice system, but its beneficiaries are Leftists such as Andrew Cuomo, who will never see the inside of a prison for his disastrous mishandling of the COVID crisis and accompanying lies. If he had had an R after his name, he would be making license plates already. But that’s not who we are, as Cuomo would say, not in this woke era when Leftists skate no matter what they do. That’s the real injustice, not anything connected to Kyle Rittenhouse.
