Fact Check: Did Kyle Rittenhouse’s mother really ask for her son to be locked up?

Wendy Rittenhouse can be seen below on TV stating that her son needs to be locked up for what he did because he will do it all over again if he had the chance.

Update: The video has since been deleted off TikTok, but it was from a Fox Interview in which his mom stated “Kyle would do it again because that is the type of person he is is” (TikTok cuts off here) – She goes on to say “He loves to help people” in the original clip, which aligns with the defense that Kyle Rittenhouse was some kind of Boy Scout that served and protected others aka “a hero”.

So, did Kyle’s mother really say this?

No, she did not. As great as this story would have been, the video was taken out of context.

In fact, his mom is his #1 supporter and has been working relentlessly to clear her son’s name and raising money for his legal defense fund through FreeKyleUSA and just pleaded for donations to cover the $110,000 legal bill that is about to be due in a few days. Nothing like the love of a mother right?
