Kyle Rittenhouse said to “carry everywhere” amid the saga surrounding Alex Pretti’s death in Minnesota.

“Carry everywhere,” Rittenhouse wrote on X Monday. “It is your right.”

Over the weekend, Pretti was killed by a border patrol officer in Minnesota while protesting President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.

Pretti brought a gun to the protest, to which Trump criticized him for. Pro-Second Amendment groups such as the National Rifle Association and Gun Owners of America have requested a full investigation.

Trump said that his administration is reviewing everything that happened and that border czar Tom Homan was going to Minnesota later this evening.

Rittenhouse also pushed back against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries who criticized him.

Armed vigilante kills two civilians in Wisconsin and is called a hero by Trump and Far-Right extremists,” Jeffries wrote on social media.

“Law-abiding VA nurse is killed by masked thugs in Minnesota and they label him a domestic terrorist. These people are sick.”

Rittenhouse responded by calling him a gay communist.

“Hakeem Jeffries is a gay communist,” he wrote on X. “It was his supporters -- pedophiles and woman beaters -- who ATTACKED me in the streets of Kenosha. Now he wants to continue defending these degenerates and use my situation for rage bait and stoke the flames.”
