Kyle Rittenhouse has shared his interest in having a conversation with President Joe Biden so he can "tell him the facts of what happened." Last month, 18-year-old Rittenhouse was found not guilty on all charges after fatally shooting two people and injuring a third during protests which took place in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Demonstrators had gathered in the city on August 25, 2020, following the police shooting of Jacob Blake. <a href="https://vt.co/news/us/500-wisconsin-national-guard-members-on-standby-as-kyle-rittenhouse-trial-nears-its-end">Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber</a> died after being shot by Rittenhouse, who had traveled into the city with an AR-15 rifle. The teen's defense team painted Rittenhouse out as an upstanding member of society, with a sense of patriotism and desire to protect his community.

Per <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-59356081">BBC News</a>, President Biden responded to Rittenhouse's not-guilty verdict with the following statement: "While the verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included, we must acknowledge that the jury has spoken." Last year, Biden also tweeted a video that appeared to link the teenager, without evidence, to white supremacists. As reported by the <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/12/09/rittenhouse-wants-sit-down-with-biden-over-white-supremacist-claim/">New York Post</a>, Beck asked Rittenhouse during their interview whether or not President Biden ever contacted the teenager "to apologize". "He hasn’t," Rittenhouse responded, adding: "I would like to sit down with the president and have a conversation with him and tell him the facts of what happened." Rittenhouse also accused Biden of "actual malice" and "defaming" his character. <img class="wp-image-1263135820" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/11/2H5KCH2-scaled-e1637406688390.jpg" alt="" width="693" height="462" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: ZUMA Press, Inc. / Alamy]] Elsewhere in the interview, Rittenhouse revealed his desire to enroll at Arizona State University and defiantly said he planned to attend "in-person". "That’s where I wanna go. I don’t want people to control what I do and where I go to school," the teenager told Beck. "I have as much of a right as anybody else to get an education and go to a school I want to go to."
