Kyle Rittenhouse, the white 18-year-old acquitted Friday of killing two people and shooting a third, said he supports the Black Lives Matter Movement.   

In a teaser with his Monday night sit down with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, Rittenhouse said his trial had “nothing to do with race” and more to do with self-defense.   

“I’m not a racist person,” Rittenhouse told Carlson in the clip. “I support the BLM movement. I support peacefully demonstrating.”    

A jury acquitted Rittenhouse of all charges stemming from his high-profile case, where he stood accused of murdering two men and injuring a third during protests over the police shooting of a Wisconsin Black man, Jacob Blake.   

Armed with an AR-15 style rifle, Rittenhouse traveled from his home in Illinois to Kenosha, Wisconsin, the day of the shooting to protect local businesses, he said.

Rittenhouse claimed self-defense when he shot and killed the two men. He was charged with first-degree reckless homicide, first-degree recklessly endangering safety, first-degree intentional homicide, attempted first-degree intentional homicide and first-degree recklessly endangering safety.   

Conservatives, including Carlson, rallied around Rittenhouse during the trial. Reps Matt Gaetz, Paul Gosar and Madison Cawthorn all offered the 18-year-old a congressional internship, HuffPost reported.   

Rittenhouse’s support of the BLM movement may come as a surprise to people who paid attention to the events leading up to the trial. In January, Rittenhouse flashed a white power sign while taking a picture with a member of the white supremacist group the Proud Boys at a Wisconsin bar, according to NBC News.   

BNC Start Your Day hosts Sharon Reed and Mike Hill discuss Rittenhouse’s comments on BLM and race with Carlson.   

“He saying I am not a racist person, but he’s doing racist things,” Hill said. “That enrages me.”   

Following his acquittal, activist and former NFL player Colin Kaepernick called Rittenhouse a “white supremacist.”   

“We just witnessed a system built on white supremacy validate the terroristic acts of a white supremacist,” he wrote on Twitter on Friday. “This only further validates the need to abolish our current system. White supremacy cannot be reformed.”
