Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Saturday condemned the release of accused gunman Kyle Rittenhouse from police custody, calling it a “double standard” of the criminal justice system and a clear example of the “protection of white supremacy.”
The story: Rittenhouse, 17, was released from the Kenosha County Detention Center in Wisconsin Friday after his legal team paid his $2 million bond.
Rittenhouse’s attorney, L. Lin Wood, confirmed the news on Twitter and thanked actor Ricky Schroder and My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell for helping in covering part of that sum.
“Kyle Rittenhouse is out of jail,” Wood wrote. “God bless ALL who donated to help #FightBack raise required $2M cash bail.”
AOC’s reaction: “Does anyone believe Rittenhouse would be released if he were Muslim & did the same thing in a diff context?” she asked on Twitter.
“For people who say “systemic racism doesn’t exist,” this is what it looks like: protection of white supremacy baked deep into our carceral systems. Law and disorder.”
“People who argue that dramatic changes to policing, including budgetary ones, will mean “violent people will be let out of jail to roam free” rarely ever acknowledge that’s actually the current system we have today for the privileged,” she wrote in a separate tweet.
The media can make you stupid and we’re working hard to be an antidote. If you agree, tell a friend to check out LaCorte News!

U.S. Representative-elect Cori Bush, a Democrat from Missouri, also reacted to news of Rittenhouse’s release, writing on Twitter, “80% of Texas county jail inmates who have died from COVID-19 were in pre-trial detention and had not been convicted of any crimes. If Kyle Rittenhouse can be released, is pre-trial detention really an issue of public safety? We need to decarcerate to save lives.”

Celebrities and prominent Democratic politicians have supported or generously donated to organizations that have helped pay the legal fees of violent (and non-violent) protesters associated with the Black Lives Matter and defund the police movements.
Democrat Vice President-elect Sen. Kamala Harris, for instance, has promoted on her official Twitter account the Minnesota Freedom Fund (MFF), which has helped a number of violent offenders be released from jail, including a man accused of sexually assaulting an 8-year-old girl.

She speaks of “double standards” yet what has she said about Team Biden bailing out antifa and BLM thugs?
So difficult to believe that this Latinx cretin is actually permitted to help pass laws in our nation, after winning 12,000 votes from her fellow misanthropes.
If you treasure what freedoms you have left, you better start believing it!
This is just a farce. The contradiction of criminals- real
Criminals- being let out, at the bottom of this newsletter, is of things to come. This woman is evil.
No Idi O C, muslims plan their attacks, and they never kill in self defence.
AOC is trying her best to do her part in the takeover of this Country by the DemonRats and their handlers. It is called “P-r-o-p-a-g-a-n-d-a” people! What comes out of her horse-mouth is not about her opinion of any situation. It is certainly never about truth!
It is about, “How to gain control of the Useful Idiots and march them into slavery. It is fully about manipulation of the weak minds who allow others the control of their thoughts and behavior.
I am saddened that so many on these Right Wing sites still give credit to the Slave Masters and their minions, as though those Evil Doers have moral and ethical intentions with their words and actions. They do not! They are playing you big time to fall into their ranks.
Please, please, for God’s sake, STOP giving credit to Satanic control as if it really is not intended for harm. STOP trying to make sense of it as though it is really meant as honest and sincere. It is not! And the AOC’s of the world know it and do it because they have already sold their Souls.
