 Kyle Rittenhouse hit out at the prosecutor who failed to win a conviction in his murder trial in Kenosha last week, branding him a ‘corrupt person who just wants to make a name for himself and not look at the facts.’

‘I used to be a fan of the prosecutors [but] not anymore,’ the acquitted Kenosha shooter told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson on Tuesday when asked about Kenosha Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger.

‘I believe there are still good prosecuting attorneys out there. But he is the prosecuting attorney that wants to make a name for himself and he’s supposed to speak the truth and nothing but the truth.’

DailyMail.com has reached out to Binger seeking comment.

Rittenhouse was 17 last year when he traveled 20 miles from his home in Antioch, Illinois, to Kenosha, Wisconsin, which had been racked with protests in the wake of the August 23, 2020 shooting of Jacob Blake.

That shooting and the response in Kenosha - protests that turned destructive - became part of the national reckoning over police use of force against Black people following George Floyd's death in Minneapolis the previous May at the hands of police.

Rittenhouse, armed with an AR-style semiautomatic rifle, joined others who said they were intent on protecting private property from potential damage on August 25.

During his trial, prosecutors argued that the teenager was a 'wannabe soldier' who went looking for trouble that night.

Rittenhouse countered that he fired in self-defense after he was attacked and in fear for his life.
