After Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of murder in November, the so-called American Civil Liberties Union went on a tear.
When the community rose up to exercise their First Amendment right to protest after the police shot a Black man in the back — in front of his children, police enabled white supremacist militia members.
The result of this failure was bloodshed, the loss of lives, and trauma.

Dangerous, disgusting, unacceptable white supremacy in #RittenhouseVerdict https://t.co/JBwxndLfME

Never mind that the Kyle Rittenhouse case wasn’t about white supremacy. The ACLU — like so many other leftists — had settled on their narrative, and they were going to stick to it, no matter what.
So when it came time to look back on 2021, they leaned all the way in:
From the year in review from the American Civil Liberties Union, ladies and gentlemen!
"A jury found Kyle Rittenhouse not guilty… This decision and the events in Kenosha stem from the deep roots of white supremacy in our society’s institutions."https://t.co/9cMpCEvfp0 pic.twitter.com/XDyXHhlcDm

There’s zero degrees of separation between the @ACLU and #BLM

ACLU has become a joke. A bad one at that.

Takes like the ACLU’s are insane. But they’re unfortunately not uncommon.
And that’s a damn shame, because what outfits like the ACLU are doing is cheapening actual racism and making it infinitely more difficult to raise awareness of genuine hatred in our midst.
