While speaking to Tucker Carlson, Kyle Rittenhouse let it be known that he wants revenge. The nets and liberals tried to bury the young man calling him a racist despite the fact that the two men shot in self-defense by Rittenhouse were both white. Rittenhouse assembled a team to create (TMAP) The Media Accountability Project as a tool to help fundraise and hold the media accountable for spreading inciteful misinformation.
“They tried to imprison you for the rest of your life, Carlson explained. “It wasn’t coverage it was advocacy. You have a lot of potential targets to sue yourself, will you be suing any of these news organizations, and if so, when?” he asked.
“Well, right now we’re looking at quite a few politicians, celebrities, athletes, Whoopi Goldberg is on the list. She called me a murderer after I was acquitted by a jury of my peers. She went on to still say that, and there’s others,” Rittenhouse responded. Addin, ” don’t forget about Cenk from The Young Turks, they called me a murder before a verdict and continues to call me a murderer.”
” Interesting. And what about the people who called you groundlessly a white supremacist, which makes it pretty hard to get a job for the rest of your life if you are a white supremacist. Will you be responding to them?” Carlson inquired.
“Absolutely!” Rittenhouse exclaimed. “We are going to hold everybody who’s lied about me accountable. Such as — everybody who lied called me a white supremacist. They’re all going to be held accountable and we’re going to handle them in a courtroom.”

TUCKER CARLSON: I can’t think of many people who’ve been at receiving end of this much sinister lying from so-called news organizations as you have. How are you going to respond?
KYLE RITTENHOUSE: Well Tucker, thank you for having me. 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.
CARLSON: Interesting. So the idea is, maybe like the Covington Catholic kids, you will be suing news organizations that maliciously lie about people who are in the news, is that the plan?
RITTENHOUSE: Yes, sir. We’re going to be holding them accountable, Tucker.
CARLSON: Do you – I guess I have to ask kind of a dumb question — Why isn’t there a group like this that exists already, since the media so often are not observers, they’re players, they’re participants in the news, why hasn’t someone done this before?
RITTENHOUSE: That’s a good question, Tucker, and I’m not sure, to be honest. But 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, because I don’t want to see anybody have to go through what I went through.
CARLSON: Yeah. They tried to imprison you for the rest of your life; it wasn’t coverage it was advocacy. You have a lot of potential targets to sue yourself, will you be suing any of these news organizations, and if so, when?
RITTENHOUSE: Well, right now we’re looking at quite a few politicians, celebrities, athletes, Whoopi Goldberg is on the list. She called me a murderer after I was acquitted by a jury of my peers. She went on to still say that, and there’s others, don’t forget about Cenk from The Young Turks, they called me a murder before a verdict and continues to call me a murderer.
CARLSON: Interesting. And what about the people who called you groundlessly a white supremacist, which makes it pretty hard to get a job for the rest of your life if you are a white supremacist. Will you be responding to them?
RITTENHOUSE: Absolutely. We are going to hold everybody who’s lied about me accountable. Such as — everybody who lied called me a white supremacist. They’re all going to be held accountable and we’re going to handle them in a courtroom.
CARLSON: A Kyle Rittenhouse, I appreciate you announcing that tonight. The Media Accountability Project. And, of course, we’re rooting for justice like we always are. So, thank you very much. Good to see you.
RITTENHOUSE: Thank you, Tucker. And if anybody wants to help join us in this battle, they can donate at TMAP.org.
TUCKER: Thanks a lot.
