Rittenhouse and Sandmann Go Viral as they Team up to Expose Former Twitter Staff
Kyle Rittenhouse and Nick Sandmann are teaming up to expose former Twitter staff after Twitter CEO Elon Musk dropped the “Twitter Files,” showing what Twitter did to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story.
“Learning about the twitter files and @elonmusk releasing the truth is making me more and more curious to find out if there was hidden censoring regarding my story and case on twitter. I am hoping, one day soon, I will be able to find out and the truth will be shown to all of us,” Rittenhouse tweeted on Monday.

Nick Sandmann, who was slandered by the left wing media, also called on Elon Musk to take action.
“As I’m watching this all play out, I’m wondering if @elonmusk has any hidden twitter files relating to what went on here,” he posted on his Twitter account. “Let’s be clear: under the watch of @vijaya they allowed these illegal threats when I was 16 years old.”

Fox News reports:
Musk ignited a firestorm on Twitter after he dropped the “Twitter files,” a set of internal communications around the company’s decision to censor the New York Post’s story on Hunter Biden’s laptop in 2020. Radio host Larry Elder reacted to the news, writing that “Democrats haven’t been this angry since Lincoln freed the slaves. #twitterfiles.”
Rittenhouse was found not guilty on all charges in a trial where he received sharply negative coverage from mainstream media; he was called a “white supremacist” and numerous outlets repeated the falsehood that he illegally transported the rifle he used in the fatal shootings across state lines.
Commentator Ian Miles Cheong responded to Rittenhouse’s post, revealing that “I was briefly suspended for saying I believed in your innocence.”
Rittenhouse started the “Media Accountability Project” to “hold the media accountable” and take them to court for the “lies” they perpetuate against Americans, in his view. Rittenhouse told Fox News host Tucker Carlson in an interview that he wanted to fight back against the media so that no one else has to “go through what I went through.”
Former Covington High School student Nicholas Sandmann was similarly tarred and feathered by the media in 2019 after a clip went viral of him smiling as a Native American played a drum close to his face.
