Adriano Espaillat, a Democrat U.S. Rep from New York, made his opinion on Kyle Rittenhouse being found not guilty on all counts known for all to see. Well, for a while anyway:
Bad take man. Delete this. Now.

You may want to consult legal counsel who would advise you to delete this tweet.

As you can see, Rep. Espaillat’s tweet has been deleted, but the Internet is forever:

I sincerely, fervently wish that Rittenhouse sues you for defamation and libel. This.,,screenshots don't lie, dear, even though your cowardly criminal self deleted it. Lawyer up, doll. pic.twitter.com/E2qtPJhNtH— nora simon (@runningnoodles) November 19, 2021
The original tweet was replaced with something a little less insane:
Today’s verdict did not deliver justice.
It serves as a stark reminder of the work that lies ahead to reform this broken system, and bring justice to the communities that have been unjustly criminalized for so long.

That won’t be enough to make people forget the original.
Too much heat? Had to delete the last tweet?

The democrat talking heads are like a broken record; it's always racist if things don't go their way. https://t.co/uZcRsQ2wwx

Just because you don't like the verdict doesn't mean justice wasn't served.

The same goes for New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.
