As Twitchy told you, Joe Bidenâs campaign is so desperate to shame Donald Trump for allegedly not doing enough to curb rampant âwhite supremacistâ violence that they resorted to baselessly painting Kyle Rittenhouse â who shot and killed two rioters in Kenosha, Wisconsin â as a white supremacist:
Thereâs no other way to put it: the President of the United States refused to disavow white supremacists on the debate stage last night. pic.twitter.com/Q3VZTW1vUV

Lin Wood, a member of Rittenhouseâs defense team, was among those who called Biden out and teased a âformal demand for public retractionâ:
Formal demand for public retraction is being prepared for Biden/Harris Campaign on behalf of Kyle Rittenhouse.
I also hereby demand that @JoeBiden immediately retract his false accusation that Kyle is a white supremacist & militia member responsible for violence in Kenosha. pic.twitter.com/GrZyE8nI7Z

While we wait for that formal demand, Marina Medvin, another of Rittenhouseâs lawyers, has this to say:
Statement from @MarinaMedvin, one of Rittenhouseâs lawyers: There is absolutely no evidence, not even a pinch, of this defamatory accusation that my client Kyle Rittenhouse is a âwhite supremacistâ â none⌠They can retract and apologize, or they can deal with Lin Wood in court. https://t.co/yQpWetxLDO pic.twitter.com/agKS6t2zTi

This could get very ugly, very quickly.
I hope they sue they crap out of them!

Update:
Is this Lin Woodâs âformal demandâ?
On behalf of Kyle Rittenhouse, I shall sue @JoeBiden & Biden/Harris Campaign for libel.
I am partisan in 20/20 supporting @realDonaldTrump.
I am non-partisan trial lawyer who aggressively pursues truth to achieve justice.
Put in your hearing aid, Joe. You will hear footsteps.

If thatâs the case, it looks like the Biden campaignâs time to make a decision may have run out.
