Rittenhouse blasts 'woke mob' for pressuring venues hosting him in Las Vegas ... trends now
Kyle Rittenhouse has blasted the 'woke mob' for pressuring venues in Las Vegas and Texas to cancel his speaking events.
Rittenhouse lashed the Venetian Resort in Sin City and the Southern Star Brewery in Conroe saying they 'bent' to politically-fueled complaints about his scheduled appearances.
The 20-year-old now speaks on Second Amendment issues after he was acquitted of deadly shootings in Kenosha that became a flashpoint in the debate over guns, vigilantism and racial injustice.
Rittenhouse, who left two men dead and another injured, told Sebastian Gorka on the America First podcast: 'I was supposed to be giving a speech ... and they booted us because the woke mob found out I posted about it.

Rittenhouse had been due to speak at the Oak Room inside the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian Resort on the Las Vegas Strip
Rittenhouse was also due to appear at the Southern Star Brewery in Conroe, Texas, but he claimed they too had 'bent to the woke mob'
'I tried to promote it to get people to come and hear about censorship and the Second Amendment - and they didn't like that they bent to the woke mob and said we're cancelling this event.'
He added that recently 'the Oak Room room at the Venetian canceled us and bent to the woke mob.'
In a statement the brewery said: 'Southern star brewery is an apolitical organization. But we feel that this event doesn't reflect our own values and we could not in good faith continue to rent our space for the event on 1/26. We don't do rallies, we make beer for people who like beer.'

He ripped the Texas brewery for backing out of hosting the event.
'They said they are apolitical, but after doing a dive into their social media, they've hosted Pride parades, they've had political events there. It's just because of my name and they're just being unfair and biased,' he told Gorka.
Following the cancellation, the brewery said it had been deluged with harassment and some threats.
'It's been kind of a s***storm,'
