J. D. Vance Praises Kyle Rittenhouse’s ‘Manly Virtue’: He ‘Made Good Decisions’ Instead of Staying Home Playing Video Games

Speaking with Seb Gorka on Tuesday night, the Hillbilly Elegy author said Rittenhouse “saw no one protecting the businesses, the people, the community. So he went down there and did it.”

Vance slammed the media, saying they had “slandered and lied about” Rittenhouse.

“And instead of rewarding him,” said Vance, “Instead of saying you know, ‘Isn’t good that a 17-year-old kid who was raised by a single mother made good decisions and decided to be a positive force in his community?’ they slandered and lied about him. They treated basic manly virtue as White supremacy.”

He continued, “It’s not just about Kyle Rittenhouse. It’s about, what kind of young men do we want to raise in our communities? What kind of virtue do we want our leaders to promote? Certainly not the people who are burning Kenosha, Wisconsin dow. We wanna promote the types of virtues that exist in Kyle Rittenhouse.”

Gorka said what Rittenhouse did on that fateful day “is what any man should do.”

“Yeah, that’s exactly right,” replied Vance, who said Rittenhouse, then 17, had been invited there to protect businesses.
