One of the common aspects of Rittenhouse protests has been people usually honoring or making heroes out of the three men, Joseph Rosenbaum, Anthony Huber, and Gaige Grosskreutz, who attacked Rittenhouse almost four years ago. Rosenbaum was a convicted child sex offender. Huber previously attacked members of his family. Grosskreutz was a Communist activist.
I asked Rittenhouse what he thought about people making heroes out of the men who attacked him.
“I think they’re misguided. We all have our First Amendment rights and they’re free to do that. I don’t care. But I think they just have a misguided opinion of what happened based on the lies of the media and fake news networks,” he replied.
When I asked one group of people who were holding the names, one student replied, “Well, Rittenhouse is a murderer.”
