Kyle Rittenhouse confirmed in an interview that he is readying to file lawsuits in a bid to “make the media pay"—months after he was acquitted on several murder charges in connection to the August 2020 shooting during a Wisconsin Black Lives Matter protest and riot.

“We’re going to make the media pay for what they did to me,” Rittenhouse told Fox News’s Tucker Carlson on Monday. “They made it hard for me to live a normal life. ... I don’t think I’ll ever be able to work or get a job because I’m afraid an employer may not hire me.”
