A National Geographic writer falsely said in a new book that Kyle Rittenhouse killed two black men in Wisconsin in 2020.

Kara Cooney wrote in “The Good Kings” that Rittenhouse “used his semi-automatic weapon to kill two black men in Kenosha, Wisconsin, while waging a glorious race war on behalf of his inherited white power.”
