"Maybe I wouldn't have put myself in that situation, who knows. But we all do stupid things at 17.”

Donald Trump Jr. defended 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse as a “young kid” and said his family was “not jumping to a conclusion” about Rittenhouse’s alleged killing of two people at a recent protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

“We're waiting for due process. We're not jumping to a conclusion,” the businessman and eldest son of President Donald Trump told Extra Tuesday. “If I put myself in Kyle Rittenhouse('s shoes), maybe I shouldn't have been there. He's a young kid. I don't want young kids running around the streets with AR-15s. Maybe I wouldn't have put myself in that situation, who knows. But we all do stupid things at 17.”

After host Rachel Lindsay countered that Rittenhouse’s actions were “a little beyond stupid," Trump Jr. said it was “Really stupid. Fine. But we all have to let due process play out and let due process take its course.”

Trump Jr., who was promoting a new book called “Liberal Privilege,” the follow-up to 2019’s “Triggered,” called Black Lives Matter a “great catchphrase” but denied that anyone believes that Black lives don’t matter. “The phrase ‘Black Lives Matter’ is obvious, no one says anything else,” he told Lindsay.

4. Turdlet has been 17 since the day he was born,

and he still is.

5. So what is Don Junior's excuse for his 'stupid things' that he still does today?

Especially when he tries to just say it was a teenager doing stupid things, instead of answering their calls for Right Wing militia wannabes to bring their assault rifles to impose their will on others in a different State?

7. I have boys

at 17, neither my 18 year old or my 19 year old killed anyone.

They stayed out late, didn't do chores, and said stupid things just to be obnoxious.

They never killed anyone. They never expressed the desire to do so either.

My middle one shot trap for his first three years of high school. He was good at it but quit this year because he couldn't stand the mindset of the people on the team.

They are both registered to vote and will be doing their part to rid us of that orange pustule.

The 18 year old is also making sure everyone in his dorm is registered to vote.

11. People blamed 12 year old Tamir Rice's parents for not teaching him not to play toy gun in park
