The Fox News host called liberals' defamation of Rittenhouse "poisonous lies."
"They're untrue, and they're words that demoralize young people and encourage millions of people to simply give up on America," she continued. "After all, why work hard to play by the rules to get ahead in a disgusting, racist nation? Who would do that?"
