Heilemann Claims Rittenhouse a ‘Domestic Terrorist’ Who Drove to Kenosha with Intent to Kill

EXCERPT:

HEILEMANN: “You know, Trump is off on a tangent. The core part of that story is a white, Trump supporting MAGA-loving blue lives matter, social media partisan, 17 years old, picks up a gun, drives from one state to another with the intent to shoot people. And again, on the politics of it, it would cost Donald Trump nothing with the law and order base for him to condemn that shooting. Nothing. It would cost him nothing. And it might at least allow some people in the gettable votes in swing districts, among suburban voters, in places that he needs to add rather than subtract if he’s going to win in the battleground states, it might at least make some of them think Donald Trump has not completely lost it, this is not a totally grotesque inhumane force in the White House, at least he’s acknowledging that it’s terrible that a black man got shot in the back seven times and it’s not good that a 17-year-old vigilante, arguably a domestic terrorist, picked up a rifle, drove to a different state to shoot people. These are not hard calls. So to your point, the ineptitude on display, in addition to all of the other darker things we've said about him, is really stunning. It's truly stunning."
