MAGA influencers on social media raged at Kyle Rittenhouse on Friday after he announced he will not vote for Donald Trump in the November election.

Rittenhouse, who became a right wing icon after he shot dead two men during the racial unrest in Wisconsin in August 2020, said he will not vote for Trump because of his “bad” policy on protecting gun rights. The 21-year-old told his followers on X that he plans on writing in former Libertarian presidential nominee Ron Paul.

“If you cannot be completely un-compromisable on the Second Amendment, I will not vote for you,” Rittenhouse told his followers on X. “We need champions for the Second Amendment or our rights would be eaten away and eroded each day.”

Rittenhouse later shared a post from the leader of the National Association for Gun Rights who decried Trump’s support for raising the minimum age for purchases and expanded background checks during his first term — as well as Trump’s 2018 ban on bump stocks.

Following his announcement a number of pro-Trump X accounts bashed Rittenhouse for abandoning the GOP nominee and threatened to cut him off from the conservative movement.
