The facts and the \u2014LEMON: They had a hard case, but they didn\u2019t do a good job even with a hard case. I mean, that\u2019s obvious to see. And the judge \u2014 the judge is, you know, and I\u2019ve said this before. Think when you want to think about the judge where you think he is biased, it\u2019s not my business.The judge\u2019s behavior, I think also divided people in this case. If you look at the judge and we\u2019ve talked about this, we talked about it on our podcast version of this handoff. The judge in Georgia doing the right thing, conducting himself in moderation, in the right way, and then you have this judge who is yelling at people even though the jury didn\u2019t see most of that, they still \u2014 they understand what\u2019s happening. They get the sense of what is going on. They see, you know, the judge\u2019s reaction \u2014 what the judge is doing, if he\u2019s making coffee during closing arguments. Little things like that.So, you know, I think it\u2019s problematic. This gave us a window into our court system, our justice system, and I think these are examples of what is happening around the country of reform, whether you think it\u2019s about race or whatever it is, but just to make it more equitable for all people involved and not to use people as political weapons or cudgels because you want to promote yourself, because you are on a grift.The attorney that represented him, that, you know, because he got the acquittal, he did the right thing, he\u2019s doing the right thing. The right \u2014 and he called their names. I don\u2019t have to. And there are others who are involved, as well.Those are the people who are problematic in this society. Those are the people who are causing the divisions because they are the ambulance chasers and you can have ambulance chasers, as well in media.CUOMO: Look, I think that this is a terrible situation and why he is \u2014 while he\u2019s not guilty, there is a lot about this situation, while he had the right to do it under the law, it wasn\u2019t right.LEMON: Right.CUOMO: It was wrong, and it\u2019s hurtful, and people are dead, and it sends a bad message.LEMON: We shouldn\u2019t be celebrating people carrying, you know, assault style weapons around in the street openly. Whether it\u2019s Kyle \u2014 I\u2019ve said this, whether Kyle Rittenhouse or whomever \u2014CUOMO: Listen.LEMON: \u2014 that\u2019s what law enforcement is for.CUOMO: I hear you, but the law rules and the law here is the bad guy.LEMON: Right.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
