A Republican student group at Arizona State University is receiving backlash for donating money to the 17-year-old gunman accusd of fatally shooting two protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin last week.
College Republicans United announced this week that half of any funds they raise during the semester will go toward paying for the legal defense of suspected gunman Kyle Rittenhouse. Authorities in Kenosha say he shot and killed two people and severely wounded a third with an AR-15 rifle Tuesday. The victims were part of anti-racism demonstrations occurring in the wake of the shooting of Jacob Blake, who is Black, by a white police officer.
