White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said during Monday’s news conference that she cannot comment on the ongoing homicide trial involving Kyle Rittenhouse but said President Joe Biden opposes “vigilantes patrolling our communities” with rifles.
“We shouldn’t have opportunists corrupting peaceful protests by rioting and burning down the communities they claim to represent anywhere in the country,” she told reporters, ostensibly referring to months of looting, violence, and arson attacks that erupted alongside Black Lives Matter protests last year.
