It was Friday, December 23, 2022 when Bette Midler tweeted this. We’re not sure what inspired her — maybe the image just happened to appear in her Facebook feed or something and she felt compelled to share it. We’ll assume the photo is real, although it’s been passed around with another image of a child in a Klan hood that also claims to be Kyle Rittenhouse.
We know that the “groomer” tag really stung liberals who realized they were fighting for kindergarten teachers to lead discussions on sexual orientation and gender identity — even David French had fainting spells over it. But this is a real example of grooming:

Having parents that teach you how to defend yourself at a young age is heartbreaking?!

Looks like a boy who can protect himself from pedophiles trying to put him in a dress.

We should all be "groomed" to defend our life.

Considering you took your own daughter to a meeting with Harvey Weinstein you MIGHT want to rethink this tweet.

We teach kids about firearms so they respect them and make wise decisions around them. Much like we teach kids about safe sex, Bette. Are you actually undermining education?

Kyle defended himself and took a violent pedophile off the streets.
These are the facts.

I think the word you're looking for is "mentoring."

Great trigger control at that age! Well done. Must have been taught by a responsible gun owner. Bravo.

Grooming refers to the sexualization of kids, I don’t see any of that here.

This is an example of ungroomable.

Raised right! God bless Kyle!

He took out the trash in self defense and was found innocent by a jury.

Yeah, because let’s talk about how Hollywood has just been a great place for children.

We’re thankful that Rittenhouse is able to spend Christmas with his family.
