Earlier today Kamala Harris was acting president as Joe Biden was out for a colonoscopy. During that time, the jury in the Kenosha, WI Kyle Rittenhouse trial found Rittenhouse not guilty on all the charges. Rittenhouse was vindicated in his self-defense claims.
Many rabid liberals are furious right now because they feel like this might disincentivize rioters from doing what they do. Rioting and looting are how many left-wingers try to wield political power and get free stuff. However, this isn’t what this was about.
Rittenhouse simply made a self-defense case. Joe Biden’s supporters by and large support rioting and looting for political power, therefore he had to take a saddened position on this news. However, Biden tried to calm the riot-prone leftists a little bit, by saying that although he agrees with their anger, “the jury has spoken”.
Although the left by and large supports illegal rioting and looting, it isn’t a good look for them when it comes to elections because they’re losing moderates like flies for this position.

Biden’s full statement:
While the verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included, we must acknowledge that the jury has spoken. I ran on a promise to bring Americans together, because I believe that what unites us is far greater than what divides us. I know that we’re not going to heal our country’s wounds overnight, but I remain steadfast in my commitment to do everything in my power to ensure that every American is treated equally, with fairness and dignity, under the law.
I urge everyone to express their views peacefully, consistent with the rule of law. Violence and destruction of property have no place in our democracy. The White House and Federal authorities have been in contact with Governor Evers’s office to prepare for any outcome in this case, and I have spoken with the Governor this afternoon and offered support and any assistance needed to ensure public safety.
We don’t condone illegal activity or incitement from either side. Stay tuned for updates.
