Hannity advises Rittenhouse on response to media, Democrat smears: ‘Sue them all’
Boston’s congresswoman Ayanna Pressley called Rittenhouse a ‘domestic terrorist’ in 2020
Hannity: ‘It was a huge day for the right of self-defense’
‘Hannity’ explains the importance of the Rittenhouse case as the left-wing media continues to ‘smear’ Rittenhouse.
In his Opening Monologue, host Sean Hannity suggested acquitted Illinois teenager Kyle Rittenhouse sue several Democratic officials and media pundits for what he called slanderous behavior.
“Kyle Rittenhouse should sue them all, all of them,” said Hannity. “Starting with Joe Biden.”
Then-candidate Joe Biden included an image of Rittenhouse in a 2020 campaign video calling out “White supremacists.”
Hannity also pointed to other officials including Boston’s Democratic congresswoman, Ayanna Pressley – as well as Texas gubernatorial candidate Robert F. “Beto” O’Rourke, New York Rep. Jerrold Nadler, St. Louis Democratic Rep. Cori Bush – along with outlets CBS News and NBC News & MSNBC.
In 2020, Pressley tweeted that Rittenhouse was a “17-year-old white supremacist domestic terrorist” and falsely claimed he “drove across state lines armed with an AR-15.”
Rittenhouse, an Illinois resident, procured the weapon used in the shooting incident while in Wisconsin. Pressley further asked that the media “fix [its] damn headlines.”

The host also pointed to Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, a Democrat from the Twin Cities – who characterized Rittenhouse as a “domestic terrorist that executed two people”
On “Hannity,” the host went on to point to other more recent examples of left-wing outrage, including from Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y.
In a fiery tweet earlier in the evening, the Upper West Side lawmaker called the verdict a “miscarriage of justice” and suggested the DOJ take a closer look at the “precedent” it set.
“Kyle Rittenhouse based on the law and the evidence and video evidence and testimony is innocent,” Hannity said. “He acted in self-defense. This is backed by eyewitness accounts and even the prosecution’s star witness backed this up in court. A jury confirmed what has been obvious for months – obvious to everyone acting in good faith.”
