I read today two unbelievable reports on members of the Republican party in Congress who consider Kyle Rittenhouse worthy of the Congressional Gold Medal. These same Republicans never offer the same respect to our military members who receive the Medal of Honor or those who returned with permanent, life-changing wounds while defending other American military members in combat.
Further, members of Congress are trying to entice Rittenhouse to take a position as an intern. What does he have to offer the country, as an 18-year-old who barely completed high school? Republicans have made these moves, and there no denying their intention is not in the best interest of the country.
