Kyle Rittenhouse blames "woke crowd" after brewery scraps censorship rally

Kyle Rittenhouse took aim at "the woke crowd" after a Texas brewery dropped out of hosting an anti-censorship event at which he was scheduled to appear.

Rittenhouse, best known for being acquitted of charges in the deadly shooting of two people at a 2020 protest against police brutality and racism in Kenosha, Wisconsin, had been set to be a featured speaker at a right-wing "Rally Against Censorship" event in Conroe, Texas, this month.

However, Southern Star Brewing Company on Friday abruptly pulled out of hosting the event, explaining that it was an "apolitical organization" that doesn't "do rallies." Rittenhouse, who was added to the event's lineup on Wednesday, argued on social media that the venue's decision was an attempt to "censor" him.
