Civil rights attorney Leo Terrell called out New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio for fuming on Twitter about Illinois teenager Kyle Rittenhouse's not-guilty verdict announced about an hour earlier on Friday.
"He’s an idiot. For him to be in a position of power and to basically discard this verdict, this is what I’ve been talking about," he said.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio gives a thumbs up after after casting his vote for re-election in the Park Slope section of the Brooklyn borough of New York City, U.S. November 7, 2017. REUTERS/Brendan McDermid Terrell further reacted to President Biden striking a different tone on the Rittenhouse case after the jury acquitted the 18-year-old. In 2020, Biden included Rittenhouse's likeness in a campaign video criticizing"White supremacists.""Look, I stand by what the jury has concluded," the president said."The jury system works and we have to abide by it."
"I didn’t hear one strongly-worded statement from former Governor Cuomo or soon to be ex-mayor as far as when a police officer was attacked in New York City during all of those riots, during the summer of 2020 that they didn’t do enough to stop them… [but] now boy, they’re passionate about this, aren’t they," Concha said.
