“Mr. President, if I could say one thing to you, I would urge you to go back and watch the trial, and understand the facts before you make a statement,” Rittenhouse said, referencing a Biden campaign ad from September 2020 in which he likened him to the “white supremacists” former President Donald Trump “refused to disavow.” The ad featured a picture of Rittenhouse during the Kenosha riots side by side with images of far-right militias and political groups.
