Fact-Checkers Had Their Facts About Rittenhouse’s Gun Rights All Wrong

 In the case against Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse, the left-wing corporate fact-checkers did what they do best and made up their own facts, specifically about the then-17-year-old’s right to carry a rifle.

“‘Perfectly legal’ for Rittenhouse to carry a gun? False,” said the leftist Poynter Institute’s Politifact in a phony fact-check, a talking point that picked up steam and undergirded the prosecution’s case against the teen.
Judge Bruce Schroeder put the so-called fact-checkers in their place on Monday, however, when he dismissed the misdemeanor charge of possession of a dangerous weapon, a charge that had previously been considered the easiest for the state to prove.

That’s a huge blow to the prosecution not only because it was supposed to be the surest conviction, but because so much of the public case against Rittenhouse was that he illegally carried an “assault weapon” across state lines to murder people.
