Kyle Rittenhouse, the well-known figure acquitted in a high-profile self-defense case, has announced that he will not be voting for Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election. This declaration has sent shockwaves through the MAGA community, sparking intense backlash from Trump supporters.
Rittenhouse, who currently serves as the Outreach Director for Texas Gun Rights, took to social media to explain his decision. “Hi, I’m Kyle Rittenhouse, Outreach Director for Texas Gun Rights. A lot of people are upset that I said I’m going to be writing in Ron Paul for President of the United States. And that is true. I will be writing in Ron Paul,” he stated unequivocally.

He further elaborated on his reasons, criticizing Trump’s stance on the Second Amendment. “Unfortunately, Donald Trump had bad advisors making him bad on the Second Amendment, and that is my issue. If you cannot be completely uncompromisable on the Second Amendment, I will not vote for you, and I will write somebody else in. We need champions for the Second Amendment or our rights will be eaten away and eroded each day.”
Rittenhouse stood firm in his decision, emphasizing his commitment to Second Amendment rights. “I support my decision and I have no take backs,” he declared, making it clear that his stance is final.
The reaction from Trump supporters has been swift and fierce, with many expressing their disappointment and anger over Rittenhouse’s choice. This development highlights the ongoing debates and divisions within the conservative movement regarding gun rights and political loyalty.
