a victory for Kyle Rittenhouse’s defense team, Judge Bruce Schroeder threw out the misdemeanor gun charge against him yesterday, statingthat “it was unclear whether



Amusingly, back in August 2020, the “fact checkers” had preemptively assumed Kyle’s guilt on that charge in what is probably the billionth thing they’ve gotten wro
Here was Politifact’s Daniel Funke, who rated the claim that Kyle legally possessed his rifle without parental supervision “false.”

The entire article has since been debunked the the defense team – with the debunking confirmed with the Judge Schroeder’s decision to drop the charges. Yet, if you read the original article, the “correction” now begins with the following: “Judge Bruce Schroeder recently dismissed a misdemeanor charge of possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18 against Kyle Rittenhouse.

yeah, the left was wrong again, they only started running this fact check garbage after the advent of the internet just to run interference for anything that put the Democratic Party or some RINO of the day in a bad light, In this particular case, they wanted so hard to punish Kyle because he was in their way. Look at this "journalist's" credentials:

Daniel Funke is a staff writer covering online misinformation for PolitiFact. He previously reported for Poynter as a fact-checking reporter and a Google News Lab Fellow, and has worked for the Los Angeles Times, USA Today and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. When he’s not chasing down online hoaxes, the University of Georgia graduate can be found cycling to your local brewery.
