“We look at a lot of politicians, celebrities, athletes, Upie Goldberg is on the list. She called me a murderer after being acquitted by a jury of my peers. She kept saying that, and there are others, “Rittenhouse told Carlson.
Rittenhouse said he would create the Media Accountability Project as a tool to help raise funds and hold the media accountable for “the lies that were told about him.”

At the time, Rittenhouse’s attorney, Mark Richards, said he was intimidated by Biden’s portrayal of a white man.
“I’ve never had a case, I don’t think I’ll ever have one, when within two or three days of each other, you know, the president and the presidential candidate comment on it. They both had so many different beliefs, “Richards said.
“President Biden has said some things that I think are so untrue and untrue – he is not a white supporter. I am glad that he at least respects the verdict of the jurors.
“I don’t want to see anyone else have to deal with what I’ve been through,” he added. “So I want to hold them accountable for what they did to me, because I don’t want to see anyone have to go through what I went through.”
