Guess what Kyle Rittenhouse did just hours after he said Friday that he had “no take backs” when it came to his announcement that he was not voting for Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election?

That’s right. He took it back.

Following an avalanche of social media hate directed at him by the MAGA crowd, Rittenhouse was back on X, formerly Twitter, with an update Friday afternoon.

“Over the past 12 hours, I’ve had a series of productive conversations with members of the Trump’s team and I am confident he will be the strong ally gun owners need to defend our Second Amendment rights.

“My comments made last night were ill-informed and unproductive,” he added. “I’m 100% behind Donald Trump and encourage every gun owner to join me in helping send him back in the White House.”

Friday was a rough day for Rittenhouse, and the take back did not appear to be the quick fix he was probably looking for here.

“That was the wildest rollercoaster ride I’ve ever seen, and the funny thing is it didn’t evne last 12 hours,” the Rawsalerts account responded. “Hope you learned your lesson because you lost over 42,697 followers with that little announcement. Yikes.”

There was plenty of ridicule and hate-filled posts still flowing in for him following the announcement. You can see his post here as well as some of the responses.

This comes after Rittenhouse posted a photo of himself next to Ron Paul on X earlier in the day.

“There aren’t many people in this world I get excited to meet but meeting (Ron Paul) was an incredible pleasure,” he wrote.

But it didn’t stop there. There was also a video that Rittenhouse shared to his X account with the caption, “You must stand by your principles.”

And, in that video, he explained why he would not vote for Trump.

“A lot of people are upset because I said I’m going to be writing in Ron Paul for president of the United States, and that is true. I will be writing in Ron Paul,” Rittenhouse explains. “Unfortunately, Donald Trump had bad advisors making him bad on the second amendment and that is my issue. If you cannot be completely uncompromisable on the second amendment I will not vote for you, and I will write somebody else in.

That got the MAGA folks riled up on social media and several of the responses were not pretty. It appears they quickly wore down Rittenhouse, though, and put him in damage control.

Rittenhouse, of course, rose to fame in that world after he shot three people killing two, during a racial injustice protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin in 2020. He claimed self-defense and was acquitted of all charges in relation to the shootings in 2021, making him a poster boy for gun groups, and he introduced himself in this latest video denouncing Trump as “outreach director for Texas gun rights.”
