Associated Press accuses Republicans of using Rittenhouse case 'to exploit national divide' on race

The Associated Press accused Republicans of wanting “to exploit the national divide over matters of grievance and race” through the Kyle Rittenhouse trial.

White House reporter Aamer Madhani warned that this ruling could now be used against President Joe Biden as Republicans will use it "to exploit the national divide" between people on race.

"Now, the president finds himself caught between outraged Democrats — some of whom were already stewing over Biden’s inability to land police reform and voting rights legislation — and Republicans looking to use the Rittenhouse case to exploit the national divide over matters of grievance and race," Madhani wrote.
