Ted Nugent would like to give Kyle Rittenhouse, who shot two people at protests in the US last year a “lifetime supply of ammunition”

Rock guitarist Ted Nugent is known for his many controversial throws and conservative opinions. A proud hunter and a man who eschews political correctness for example, has called Trump “a man sent by God”, and has also, for example, opposed COVID vaccinations and restrictions – until he himself had a severe case of COVID.

Now Nugent has said on a recent episode of the Rock Of Nations With Dave Kinchen podcast that he wants to show his support for Kyle Rittenhouse, who shot two people in the 2020 US protests that flared up after police shot a black man, Jacob Blake, twice in the back in broad daylight.

Rittenhouse, 17 at the time of the incident, had been carrying a semi-automatic rifle with which he used to shoot two protesters. In court, Rittenhouse said he shot the men after they attacked him. According to the prosecutor, Rittenhouse himself provoked the demonstrators, but the young man says he was only trying to protect the shops of local entrepreneurs. Rittenhouse was freed of the charges by court order.

Nugent said the following in a podcast:

“I’m going to get a hold of Kyle Rittenhouse and I’m going to provide him a lifetime supply of ammunition, and I’d like to begin the Kyle Rittenhouse Tactical Masterclass because as a young man, boy did he do good. He knew that weapon. He was a samurai as a teenager that under those unbelievable, traumatic and physically assaultive conditions, he did his job.”

This was not the only time Nugent publicly supported Rittenhouse. Previously, Nugent had said the following in an interview with Newsmax:

“This guy, this young 17-year-old kid, was exactly what the founding fathers wanted all Americans to be – to stand up, good over evil. Kyle Rittenhouse, good. Rioters and thugs and attackers and assaulters and career criminals, evil.”
