Trump Jr was recently slammed after he shared a photo on his Instagram page that showed his father giving a medal to Kyle Rittenhouse. The picture, which is photoshopped, showed former president Donald Trump honoring the teenager with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The caption of the image read, “2024??? Who knows?”
Trump Jr was recently also criticised for expressing his support after Gun Owners of America (GOA), a non-profit lobbying organization formed in 1976 to "preserve and defend the Second Amendment rights of gun owners", sent an AR-15 rifle to Kyle Rittenhouse. The teenager was fully acquitted on all five charges including homicide for killing two men and injuring one at the Kenosha riots in August 2020.
"ALERT: GOA will be awarding Kyle Rittenhouse with an AR-15 for his defense of gun rights in America. Join us in saying THANK YOU to Kyle Rittenhouse for being a warrior for gun owners and self defense rights across the country!" GOA tweeted from their official handle. Donald Trump Jr took to Twitter in the night on November 20 to support their decision, writing, "Gun Owners of America is sending Kyle Rittenhouse an AR-15. Sign the card in support of Kyle. Americans have a fundamental right to defend themselves, and to keep and bear arms. The verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial is a recognition of those rights."
