Don Jr. Says 'We All Do Stupid Things At 17' In Mind-Numbing Defense Of Kenosha Shooter

Don Jr. Says 'We All Do Stupid Things At 17' In Mind-Numbing Defense Of Kenosha Shooter
ExtraTV/YouTube

During an appearance on the TV show Extra, Donald Trump Jr. chose to defend Kyle Rittenhouse the Kenosha shooter who murdered two protestors and injured a third.

Asked why the Trump administration hadn't condemned Rittenhouse's actions, Don Jr. replied:


"We're waiting for due process. We're not jumping to a conclusion."
"If I put myself in Kyle Rittenhouse [sic] ― maybe I shouldn't have been there. He's a young kid. I don't want 17-year-olds running around the streets with AR-15s. Maybe I wouldn't have put myself in that situation."
"Who knows? But we all do stupid things at 17."

As a reminder, Rittenhouse was caught on video shooting three people and has been arrested on charges of first degree murder.

It's almost unbearably clear that the Trumps have a different set of standards for their supporters and their critics.

Trump supporters, especially White ones, get the benefit of the doubt, while everyone else deserves the harshest possible punishment.



Many Twitter users were deeply unsettled by the fact that the Trumps will seemingly forgive their supporters for murder.


Don Jr. was right that many people do dumb things at 17, but very few people shoot three people with an AR-15.



Donald Trump and his family and repeatedly shown they're willing to allow, and even encourage, bad behavior as long as the perpetrators continue to support the President.



During any other Presidency, this would have been a career-ending scandal.



All Americans should be held to the same standard regardless of their political preferences and any President who understood that would denounce violence in all of its forms.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
