The far-right darling is accused of leaving his mom and sister high and dry as they fight eviction.

Kyle Rittenhouse has been publicly dragged by his own family, who say the far-right darling has left them high and dry as his mother and sister brace for eviction from their home.

Faith, Kyle’s sister, put out a desperate plea for help on May 29, setting up a GoFundMe to help fight their eviction notice.

“With my brother’s unwillingness to provide support or contribute to our family, we’ve been left to navigate this journey on our own,” she added.

Her family has “exhausted every resource available to us,” she wrote, and “time is running out.”

When I was in the hospital we tried to like talk to my brother, we tried to like to tell his lawyer to tell like my brother like I was maybe needing surgery or like I was in the hospital, I never heard from him,” Faith told viewers of the V-Radio podcast.

    “people still believe my mother drove Kyle or was somehow involved in his decision to go to Kenosha.”

    Was she not sitting right there behind him in court supporting what he did?

    my brother was involved in a tragic shooting incident,

    Fuck you.

      Sorry, but this is just plain evil. And we’re talking about his sister here who should be considered blameless.

      I understand that this isn’t about being rational, but being outraged.

        This is not about outrage. This is about consequences of ones deeds.

        And since when is “sister” not family? Didn’t she care growing up with a racist brother?

          You have no idea what the mom or sister did or did not do growing up or what Kyle was like. Again, it’s not about being rational, it’s about being outraged.

    I’m going to go ahead and post my hot take: I hate that these people are facing eviction and that they’re faced with crippling medical debt caused by chronic illness and frequent hospitalization. I don’t like these people. I don’t agree with their beliefs. I think Kyle Rittenhouse did something unforgivably terrible and that his family likely enabled him and his actions. But I also don’t want them to be homeless or to have to deal with medical debt, because those are things that I believe our society should guarantee, as inalienable rights, that no one, regardless of how odious they or their family might be, should have to endure. And I don’t care that they (probably) believe differently.

    Here I was thinking maybe I’d throw them a bone, maybe they were trying to be decent people that his public image and association made life difficult for them. No. Of course not. They just wanted his fame to bring them money. They are who they are.

    Conservative enablers become collateral damage of conservatives being conservatives…more at 11.

    Also if you’ve never seen the Rittenhouse family they all appear to have iqs below 85 or so.

    Look at the sisters quote here…like…uh…like Kyle …like never helped us …like even like for my like surgery like …like like like

    God, reading that quote from the sister gave me braindamage. How many 'like’s can you use before the entire sentence is incomprehensible?

    Remember when one of the idiots who participated in his defense came out and said that he fucked up a full ride scholarship to go be a right wing talking head for Turning Point, and called him an antagonistic arrogant dumbass who couldn’t score high enough on his ASVAB to live out his dream of murdering minorities legally overseas?

        Republican donor groups fell over themselves to prop this guy up as some right-wing hero. I wouldn’t be surprised if one of them decided to send him to college on a full ride so that they could continue to point to him in the future as someone who went on to make a success of themselves rather than continue to prove to the world that he’s a vicious idiot with no prospects in life.
