The law enforcement–obsessed 17-year-old who was charged with shooting and killing two people and injuring another in Kenosha, Wisconsin, during protests for Jacob Blake appeared in the front row at a Donald Trump rally in January.
Kyle Howard Rittenhouse’s social media presence is filled with him posing with weapons, posting “Blue Lives Matter,” and supporting Trump for president. Footage from the Des Moines, Iowa, rally on Jan. 30 shows Rittenhouse feet away from the president, in the front row, to the left of the podium. He posted a TikTok video from the event. Rittenhouse wrote “BLUE LIVES MATTER” and “Trump 2020” in his TikTok bio.
A close look of his social media accounts and background show a teenager obsessed with law enforcement who also identified as a strong supporter of President Donald Trump and “Blue Lives Matter,” a pro-law enforcement movement that evolved in response to “Black Lives Matter.”
On his now-deleted Facebook page, Rittenhouse is seen posing with an AR-15 style rifle above the words, “Blue Lives Matter.”
His social media pages indicated he had access to at least two different types of guns before Tuesday. A video posted to one of his two TikTok accounts on July 21 shows him assembling what appears to be the rifle pictured in his Facebook profile image. In two videos posted Aug. 13, he and a friend are shown firing a weapon he identifies as a 12 gauge shotgun. In these videos, Rittenhouse is wearing a backwards cap featuring an image of the American flag that appears to be the same hat worn by the shooter.
