National File 
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) questioned the Governor of Wisconsin’s decision to activate National Guard troops ahead of the jury decision in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial.
While most elected Republican officials have largely remained silent on the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, Rep. Thomas Massie questioned the Wisconsin Governor’s decision to activate 500 National Guardsmen ahead of the jury’s verdict in the trial of Kenosha teen.
The congressman suggested the possibility that the troops were activated to make the jury feel as if violence would occur if they did not find him guilty.
“Were the National Guardsmen activated by the Governor in Kenosha to try and influence the jury by making the jurors think a not-guilty verdict will result in violence?” Rep. Massie tweeted on Wednesday morning. “It’s my sincere hope the jury will issue a verdict based solely on the evidence as presented in this trial.”..
