Kyle Rittenhouse, the guns rights activist who made headlines in 2020 when he shot three people at a protest, has posted photos of him and his new wife posing with a gun at their wedding.
Rittenhouse rose to prominence after being charged in the fatal shooting of two men and wounding of a third during a night of protests against police brutality in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in the summer of 2020 after traveling from his home in Illinois armed with a semiautomatic rifle.
He was acquitted of all charges after testifying that he fired in self-defense after coming under attack and fearing for his life. Since then, Rittenhouse has been embraced as a hero by supporters of the Second Amendment.
Rittenhouse posted on X on Wednesday: “I’m back on social media, I’m back in the fight, and I’m here to stay. For a quick update, six months ago I made the best decision of my life and married my best friend.
“(Bella) Rittenhouse, I couldn’t be happier. I love you beautiful. More big announcements coming soon…”
The photos showed Bella Rittenhouse holding a large gun in her wedding dress, smiling next to Kyle Rittenhouse in a blue suite.
