Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sees Kyle Rittenhouse posting bail as our current system being for the privileged

As Twitchy just reported, San Francisco’s district attorney was upset that Kenosha, Wisc., shooter Kyle Rittenhouse was released on $2 million bail Friday, seeing as he was guilty of double murder with an assault rifle and that evidence showed he was most likely motivated by racial bias … when he shot those three white guys who were on top of him.

A lot of people chipped in to put together the $2 million because they saw the video and considered Rittenhouse’s actions self-defense and the first-degree murder charges a travesty, but Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says seeing a violent suspect such as Rittenhouse out on the street on bail just shows how the current justice system is put together to benefit the privileged.

People who argue that dramatic changes to policing, including budgetary ones, will mean “violent people will be let out of jail to roam free” rarely ever acknowledge that’s actually the current system we have today for the privileged https://t.co/MXnm6h3PdZ

Does anyone believe Rittenhouse would be released if he were Muslim & did the same thing in a diff context? For people who say “systemic racism doesn’t exist,” this is what it looks like: protection of white supremacy baked deep into our carceral systems.

Law and disorder.

What she's saying is Critical Race Theory 101.

Because White people supposedly invented everything, then having White skin is the ultimate privilege, thus declaring White skin is superior…

Yet proponents of this ideology accuse everyone else of being White Supremacists.

So privileged vs. the hundreds of violent rioters whose bail was funded by A-list celebrities… https://t.co/4wgIh32etr

There’s nothing more privileged than never worrying about your tax-payer funded paycheck

I grew up in rural Ontario living in a trailer wearing cloths from a rag bag while my parents worked full time and then built a house by hand on weekends….yet I’ve been slammed for my white privilege.

Leftists live in an alternate reality.

@AOC no doubt was much more "privileged" that my upbringing, so who cares what she thinks? She is wrong. I bet she didn't have 8 siblings in a 1 bedroom house, a clothes line beside the oil storage tank her yard. But I still don't hate my country and didn't ask for anything.

This doesn't get flagged for being misleading or inflammatory? https://t.co/TFZTsADxKy

Hate to keep dunking on the moron, but she really needs to check out what the city she represents has done. https://t.co/BISIW90Hn6

The only privilege Rittenhouse had was his assault being captured on video for the public — and a jury — to see.
