The White House and Federal authorities have been in contact with Governor Evers\u2019s 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.\u201dGov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA): \u201cAmerica today: you can break the law, carry around weapons built for a military, shoot and kill people, and get away with it. That\u2019s the message we\u2019ve just sent to armed vigilantes across the nation.\u201dGov. J.B. Pritzker (D-IL): \u201cCarrying a loaded gun into a community 20 miles from your home and shooting unarmed citizens is fundamentally wrong.\u201dRep. Adriano Espaillat (D-NY): \u201cKyle Rittenhouse is living proof that white tears can still forestall justice. A murderer is once again walking free today \u2014 our system is terribly broken.\u201dDyjuan Tatro, senior adviser to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee: \u201cI do not believe that convictions equal justice. But I am convinced that the \u2018not guilty\u2019 verdict constitutes a great injustice today. The American legal system is rooted in racism and functions to uphold white supremacy.\u201dAmerican Civil Liberties Union (ACLU): \u201cDespite Kyle Rittenhouse\u2019s conscious decision to travel across state lines and injure one person and take the lives of two people protesting the shooting of Jacob Blake by police, he was not held responsible for his actions. Unfortunately, this is not surprising,\u201d the organization said in a statement. \u201cHis acquittal comes after our investigation exposed how Kenosha law enforcement used violence against protesters and drove them toward white militia groups, in ways that escalated tensions and almost certainly led to these shootings. It is far too easy to overlook the impact that violence in defense of white supremacy has on the Black and Brown communities. When the community rose up to exercise their First Amendment right to protest after the police shot a Black man in the back \u2014 in front of his children, police enabled white supremacist militia members.\u201dACLU of Maryland: \u201cDangerous, disgusting, unacceptable white supremacy in #RittenhouseVerdict.\u201dBecky Pringle, head of the National Education Association: \u201cWhen a 17-year old is able to come into another community, brandish an automatic weapon, kill two people, and avoid accountability, justice has not been served. We must be able to walk down our streets, exercise our right to protest safely, and be treated equally under the law.\u201dCongressional Black Caucus: \u201cIt is unconscionable our justice system would allow an armed vigilante \u2014 who traveled to Kenosha, Wisconsin and killed Joseph Rosenbaum, Anthony Huber, and wounded Gaige Grosskreutz \u2014 to go free.\u201dColin Kaepernick: \u201cWe just witnessed a system built on white supremacy validate the terroristic acts of a white supremacist. This only further validates the need to abolish our current system. White supremacy cannot be reformed.\u201dNASCAR driver Bubba Wallace: \u201cHa, let the boy be black and it would\u2019ve been life\u2026hell he would\u2019ve had his life taken before the bullshit trial. Sad.\u201dHouse Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY): \u201cThis heartbreaking verdict is a miscarriage of justice and sets a dangerous precedent which justifies federal review by DOJ. Justice cannot tolerate armed persons crossing state lines looking for trouble while people engage in First Amendment-protected protest.\u201dRep Cori Bush (D-MO): \u201cThe judge. The jury. The defendant. It\u2019s white supremacy in action. This system isn\u2019t built to hold white supremacists accountable. It\u2019s why Black and brown folks are brutalized and put in cages while white supremacist murderers walk free. I\u2019m hurt. I\u2019m angry. I\u2019m heartbroken.\u201dJosh Gad: \u201cIt has now been put it out there that vigilantes can just go and kill people protesting issues like racial equality whenever they want and get away with it. Think about that for a second,\u201d Gad tweeted.\u201cAn 18 year old who gunned down 2 men in cold blood &#038; got away with it is being hailed as a hero today by many,\u201d he added. \u201cYou can choose to stand with them, or you can choose to fight back against this frightening s*** &#038; vote against those who would cheer this f***er &#038; offer him internships.\u201dRep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA): \u201cRacism &#038; white supremacy remain the bedrock of our legal system. My heart breaks for the family &#038; loved ones of those whose lives were stolen, and the trauma our communities face today and every day.\u201dNikole Hannah-Jones: \u201cIn this country, you can even kill white people and get away with it if those white people are fighting for Black lives,\u201d Hannah-Jones tweeted. \u201cThis is the legacy of 1619.\u201d\u201cBut Trayvon Martin deserved to die because he fought back against an aggressor with no weapon. This is the legacy of white supremacy in action,\u201d she added.Cary Elwes: \u201cAnother disappointing victory for White vigilantism.\u201dVan Jones: \u201cThis idea of white vigilante violence is something that we have to wrestle with\u2026 We have got a pattern now, where white men feel that they have the right to enforce the law themselves.\u201dNBA: \u201cOur thoughts are with the families of those whose lives were taken in this tragedy. The right to peacefully protest is a bedrock of our democracy and the National Basketball Social Justice Coalition remains committed to preserving that right for all. Any forms of vigilantism in our society are unacceptable.\u201dIbram X. Kendi: \u201cThey are fighting to maintain white male supremacy,\u201d Kendi quoted from an article he wrote last year. \u201cWhich is to say, they are defending law and order. Defending their America \u2014 where white men can rule and brutalize without consequence.\u201dGeorge Takei: \u201cJustice denied is a body blow to our national psyche. On trial was not only a killer, but a system that continues to kill. Today that system defeated true justice, once again. But mark these words: We will never stop fighting for what is right and just.\u201dRep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI): \u201cOur justice system is broken. It protects white supremacy. The two people who were killed deserved justice and so did our communities who continue to be targeted with violence like this.\u201dAirborne Toxic Event front man Mikel Jollett: \u201cTo the people saying, \u2018This is not America,\u2019 please stop. Yes, it is. A place where a racist white man with a gun can murder protestors in cold blood protected by an entrenched system steeped in white supremacy,\u201d he tweeted.\u201cEnjoying all the complex analysis but the thing where only one party can win an election and the people who oppose that party can be legally shot in the street is literally just fascism,\u201d he added.Sophia Bush: \u201cThe miscarriage of justice today is enraging. This is white supremacy in action. This is hideous. He murdered people, bragged about it while throwing white power signs in a bar, and then manufactured tears to claim that despite his AR-15 HE was in danger. And he got off. Unreal.\u201dAimee Carrero: \u201cThe United States legal system is white supremacy\u2019s most loyal patron.\u201dManhattan Borough President Gale Brewer: \u201cWhite supremacy, guns, &#038; institutional racism are a toxic combination.\u201dAmnesty International: \u201cWhite supremacy is a threat to human rights.\u201dDerrick Johnson, CEO of NAACP: \u201cThe verdict in the #KyleRittenhouseTrial is a reminder of the treacherous role that white supremacy and privilege play within our justice system.\u201dDean Obeidallah: \u201cWhite privilege is driving from another state with your AR-15 to oppose a Black Lives Matter protest, kill two people and then walk free. #WhiteSupremacy.\u201dJemele Hill: \u201cThe Kyle Rittenhouse verdict, that several states have enacted laws that allow motorists immunity if they hit protestors with their cars, is about this country\u2019s addiction to maintaining white supremacy at all costs. It\u2019s on brand, and in line with who America always has been.\u201dMoveOn: \u201cOur judicial system upholds white supremacy. The entire trial and the verdict today is just another example of that. For us all to truly be safe, it must be reimagined and transformed.\u201dThe Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
