Kyle Rittenhouse celebrates 'awesome' plan to attend Texas A&M — there's just one problem



Kyle Rittenhouse appeared to tell podcast host Charlie Kirk that he would be attending Texas A&M University, but a university spokeswoman said that is not going to happen — at least not any time in the near future.

"So, I'm going to be going there [Texas A&M]. It's going to be awesome," Rittenhouse said during the "The Charlie Kirk Show" on Saturday. "Beautiful campus, amazing people, amazing food."

However, Texas A&M spokesperson Kelly Brown told the Houston Chronicle on Sunday. that Rittenhouse "has not been admitted as a student this summer or fall."

Rittenhouse, who was acquitted last year of charges related to his fatal shooting of two men and wounding another during the Kenosha riot in Wisconsin, also made headlines over the weekend after he announced on Twitter that he was working with Todd McMurtry, one of the lawyers who successfully represented Covington Catholic student Nicholas Sandmann in his defamation case against the Washington Post and other media companies.


\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to working with Todd McMurtry! He\u2019s been helping my friend @N1ckSandmann and I\u2019m excited to now have him my the team. \n\nhttps://t.co/TBvYIHA6jN\u201d

Rittenhouse judge slams media for 'grossly irresponsible' coverage of trial



The judge in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse slammed the media on Wednesday for their irresponsible reporting on the proceedings, called it "really quite frightening."

The trial is in its second day of jury deliberations over the murder charges levied against Rittenhouse, who claims he acted in self-defense when he shot and killed two rioters and injured a third man, who survived.

Kenosha County Circuit Court Judge Bruce Schroeder addressed some of the controversies about his decisions in the media and excoriated the press for what he saw as irresponsible criticism.

"These are five very reputable, competent attorneys that I've practiced with for years, and I think it's shameful some of the things that are being done to these people," he said.

"When I talked about problems with the media when this trial started, we're there in part, not fully, but in part because of grossly irresponsible handling of what comes out of this trial," Schroeder added.

"I will tell you this, I'm gonna think long and hard about live television at trial again, next time. I've always been a firm believer in it because I believe the people should be able to see what's going on. But when I see what's being done, it's really quite frightening," he said.

"Frightening, that's the word for it," Schroeder concluded.

The judge specifically defended his decision to have Rittenhouse choose the jurors by pulling numbers from a raffle drum at random. He also explained why he ordered that the men shot by Rittenhouse not be referred to as "victims" during the trial to prevent bias in the jurors.

The judge did not refer to other controversies that angered many on the left, including one where he joked about his Asian food being delayed by supply chain issues, and another where his phone rang during the trial and revealed a patriotic ringtone.

Here's a video of the judge's comments:

Politifact gets buried online after its 'fact-check' on Rittenhouse trial is completely contradicted



A fact-check claim from Politifact on the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse got brutal blowback online after the judge in the case sunk a central charge in the case.

Rittenhouse is on trial for the fatal shooting of two people and injury of a third during a Black Lives Matter protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Prosecutors allege that the 18-year-old is guilty of murder, but his attorney is arguing that he acted in self-defense.

Politifact's attempt at fact-checking from Aug. 2020 didn't stand the test of time after Kenosha County Circuit Judge Bruce Schroeder dismissed the charge of possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18 against Rittenhouse on Monday.

Schroeder ruled that Rittenhouse was legally allowed to possess a rifle because of Wisconsin's open carry law, as long as it met certain minimum length requirements.

The fact-check claimed it was not legal for Rittenhouse, who was seventeen at the time of the shooting, to possess the rifle without parental supervision.

The article noted that there was an exception for some teenagers in cases where they were hunting, but added, "Rittenhouse wasn't in Kenosha to hunt."

Many on social media took the news organization to task for levying up the claims clearly contradicted by the ruling of the judge in Rittenhouse's case.

"This fact check was always wrong, but now that the weapons charge has been dropped it's officially PANTS ON FIRE," replied Mark Hemingway.

"You guys really should look for another line of work," read one popular tweet.

"Are you going to factcheck yourself now?" asked another critic.

"Issue an immediate retraction," demanded another popular tweet.

Politifact also noted that their finding had been used as a basis for Facebook to censor claims on their social media platform.
