Nicholas Sandmann lent his support to Kyle Rittenhouse in an opinion article for the Daily Mail this week. Sandmann had previously filed defamation lawsuits against several legacy media outlets after he was accused of being a racist or white supremacist after viral video footage showed him in a confrontation with a Native American activist.

As jurors deliberate in Rittenhouse’s murder trial, Sandmann wrote that he views his situation as similar to Rittenhouse’s. Rittenhouse, without evidence, has also been accused of being a white supremacist or racist by members of the media.
