#Kenosha GOP chairwoman claims most residents support Kyle Rittenhouse

A political leader in Kenosha insists almost everyone in the Wisconsin city supports Kyle Rittenhouse, the alleged teenage vigilante charged with killing two during riots sparked by the police shooting of Jacob Blake.

“It looks like it was self-defense, and, talking to people around the area, I would say about 80 percent of the people support what Kyle did,” local GOP chairwoman Erin Dillon told “Fox and Friends.”

The “other 20 percent is probably people that can’t stand Donald Trump and can’t stand anything conservative or Republican,” the Republican leader insisted on the show Tuesday.

“So they’re just going to attack anything that resembles that,” she claimed.

Rittenhouse, 17, had been filmed among other heavily armed members of an alleged militia group protecting local businesses from rioters who torched the city before the shooting broke out.

He is accused of shooting one man in the head, before killing another man and seriously injuring a third as he was tackled while trying to escape.

The teen faces a slew of charges, including first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide and one count of attempted first-degree intentional homicide.

Dillon said Kenosha was “devastated” by the “riots and arson” and are “still very worried about what could happen.”

“We’re a small city, less than 100,000 people. Stuff like this doesn’t happen in Kenosha,” she told the Fox morning show — insisting locals were thrilled that President Trump “sent the troops in.”
