Kyle Rittenhouse says that he did not know he was posing with members of the far-right group Proud Boys and that he had no idea the hand gesture he was making symbolized white supremacy as he blamed former attorney John Pierce for the mishap.Rittenhouse insists he didn’t know the meaning of the ‘okay’ hand gesture, which he made as he was photographed standing alongside members of the Proud Boys at a bar in Wisconsin on January 5. ‘I didn’t know that the "okay" hand sign was a symbol for white supremacy - just as I didn’t know those people in the bar were Proud Boys,’ Rittenhouse says.

Because the Okay symbol is not and never was a symbol of any such thing. It was created on 4chan as a troll meme. Shheesh.

The meaning of the "okay" hand gesture is "okay." I have no idea what "white supremacy" symbol it is supposed to represent. Even if actual white supremacists use it, it only means "okay" when ordinary people do. The Proud Boys are not a far-right group, either. I would be proud to pose for a picture with them.

The okay sign has always been the okay sign. Any other definition is embedded only in the heads of the moron woke crowd who could not recognize a pile of s—t even after they stepped in one. So 👌.

It's OK to use the OK sign that's some hair brain liberal made up PC bull corn. Proud Boys are not far right but the buffer to Antifa and BLM the chosen groups of the far left.

There are unindicted conspirators in this drama. They are the mayors and governors that told the police to stand down in Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, and, yes, in Kenosha. What do you expect people to do as their businesses and neighborhoods are looted and burned? With no blue line to suppress criminals, they will take up arms, of course.

The OK sign is NOT associated with white supremacy. That is an extreme leftist lie from the beginning. No truth at all. And the leader of the Proud Boys was NOT a white person, IIRC he was a Latino of some sort, clearly mixed race. Proud Boys are NOT white supremacists, either. But.....they ARE highly politically charged and the lawyer is a dangerous idiot.

In yet another example that powerful teachers unions and labor unions enjoy joint custody of Joe Biden and the Democrat Party, the ridiculously named socialist monstrosity “Build Back Better” Act contains a provision that provides a tax credit of up to $12,500 to purchasers of electric vehicles — other than Teslas.Why not Teslas? Three words: United Autoworkers Union.That’s right, America, as reported by CBS News, only electric vehicles made in unionized U.S. factories qualify for the full $12,500.
