On Wednesday afternoon, LeBron James took to Twitter to attack Kyle Rittenhouse’s emotional testimony, insinuating that he was a liar and a faker. James quoted a tweet about the story, stating, “What tears????? I didn’t see one. Man knock it off! That boy ate some lemon heads before walking into court.”

James’s ridicule falls in line with much of the scorn coming from the country’s celebrities and elites. And his social media behavior reveals a disturbing pattern that goes beyond antipathy toward Rittenhouse.
