A Kentucky man who filed several lawsuits against CNN, The New York Times, and other media outlets said that Kyle Rittenhouse should sue legacy news outlets for defamation after his acquittal last week.

Nicholas Sandmann, who was also labeled a racist and a white supremacist when he was confronted by a Native American activist during a viral video incident in 2019, told Fox News hours after the acquittal that Rittenhouse has a case.
