Kyle Rittenhouse acquittal: PolitiFact blasted for fact-check saying Trump's comments on incident were 'false'
Fox News
PolitiFact is facing another round of backlash from critics following Friday's dramatic acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse.
The verdict came after the fact-checking news outlet last year took then-President Trump to task over his comments on the deadly Kenosha shootings, in which Trump widely sided with Rittenhouse's self-defense claim.
"You saw the same tape as I saw," Trump said during an Aug. 31, 2020, news briefing. "And he was trying to get away from them, I guess; it looks like. And he fell, and then they very violently attacked him. And it was something that we’re looking at right now and it’s under investigation."
