Liberals are Furious that Judge Schroeder Made a Joke that Some Asian Food May be Delayed on a Container Ship

Many left-wing pundits, Twitter users, and media outlets are once again furious at Judge Bruce Schroeder, who is overseeing the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. They were initially unhappy that those allegedly shot by Kyle Rittenhouse could not be called victims. As NBC additionally reported:

Kenosha County Circuit Judge Bruce Schroeder, however, ordered that other words could be used — “rioters,” “looters” or “arsonists” — if Rittenhouse’s defense attorneys can provide the evidence that they had engaged in those acts.

Then later, those same people were angered that at one point during the trial the judge’s phone accidentally went off and he had a “patriotic” ringtone. Many also feel that Schroeder has been exceptionally harsh against the prosecution team. Others, however, may make the case that the prosecution team has done a poor job of making their case and has stepped out of line in some instances.

“Let’s hope for 1:00, hopefully, the Asian food isn’t coming, isn’t on one of those boats in Long Beach Harbor,” says Judge Schroeder. Watch:

In our view, there was nothing racist about that joke, it was simply a mention to hoping that their food comes on time and then a joke about supply chain disruptions. Nevertheless, many left-wingers and even CNN thought it was “off-color”.

“Judge Schroeder just made a racist comment about Asians before going on lunch break saying he hopes the Asian food doesn’t come off a boat. Are you fucking kidding me? He’s racist and biased. He needs to be removed from the Kyle Rittenhouse trial.”

“The judge presiding over the homicide trial of Kyle Rittenhouse confused observers after making a strange and off-color joke inside the courtroom”

Others defended Judge Schroeder:

“Schroeder’s “Asian food joke”: worries about Asian food being held up by the supply chain crisis on the West coast–which clearly doesn’t blame Asians who are getting the goods to the US as fast as they can. The left are obviously desperate to paint the judge as racist.”

“Leftist have been crying racism in response to Kyle Rittenhouse trial Judge Bruce Schroeder’s reference to “Asian food” on Thursday as the court went into recess. Yet Biden can call Satchel Paige a negro and they are silent. Damn hypocrites!!”

As it is with the case itself, opinions have become largely political. Many on the left think Rittenhouse is a White Supremacist murderer.

Many on the right seem to think he was simply utilizing his right to self-defense. The media, which is often left-leaning, has leaned towards the former with their spun headlines and willful ignorance of the facts of the case.

Time will tell if any charges stick or what the ultimate outcome is. Meanwhile, since the right thinks Schroeder is giving Rittenhouse a fair shake, the left obviously thinks he’s a biased, “racist”, Trump supporter and should not be a judge at all in their view.

Stay tuned for more updates on the ongoing trial and other political news throughout the day as things continue to unfold.
