Legal Eagle: Rittenhouse was not guilty, self defense applies
Well I think his response exposes why Rittenhouse is such a hero to some people. He is not a hero because he reluctantly and reasonably used force in self-defence. He is a hero because he killed people that those who lionize him feel should have been killed. Congresswoman Boebert did not challenge wheelchair bound Congressman Cawthorn to a sprint to see who gets Kyle as an intern because he reasonably used appropriate force to protect himself.

In that context, Legal Eagle is applying for a MSNBC job by merely saying it could be legally justified self-defence because that significantly waters down the reason why folks like Tucker Carlson, Boebert and Cawthorn raise Rittenhouse on such a pedestal.
