Based Underground is now a conservative news aggregator AND curated newsletter.
Gun rights activist Kyle Rittenhouse stopped supporting Donald Trump for president… for about 12 hours. After fierce backlash and a conversation with Trump’s team, Rittenhouse hopped back on the Trump Train with an apologetic post on 𝕏.
Over the past 12 hours, I’ve had a series of productive conversations with members of the Trump’s team and I am confident he will be the strong ally gun owners need to defend our Second Amendment rights.
My comments made last night were ill-informed and unproductive. I’m 100% behind Donald Trump and encourage every gun owner to join me in helping send him back to the White House.
Rittenhouse has posted earlier on Friday that he would be writing in Ron Paul.
“Unfortunately, Donald Trump had bad advisers making him bad on the Second Amendment, and that is my issue. If you cannot be completely uncompromisable on the Second Amendment, I will not vote for you and I will write somebody else in. We need champions for the Second Amendment or our rights will be eaten away and eroded each day.”
All 𝕏 posts criticizing Trump were deleted.
Reactions to his reversal were mostly positive from conservative Trump supporters.
I was harder on you than anyone – but I can't hold a grudge when a man apologizes.
Just remember, when it was political poison to take your side, Trump and MAGA was there for you during your lowest point.

That was the wildest rollercoaster ride I've ever seen, and the funny thing is it didn't even last 12 hours hope you learned your lesson because you lost over 42,697 followers with that little announcement. Yikes

Good. I’ve been very hard on you today, as harsh as can be, because you needed it.
Stay with MAGA. That’s where you belong and you’ll continue to belong so long as you don’t say completely insane shit like you did yesterday.

Good move Kyle. I'm glad you listened to the feedback. I respect Ron Paul a lot and I think it's great that you are a supporter of his, but the best way forward to protect the Second Amendment is through Donald Trump. The alternative is worse than you can imagine.

Thank you Kyle. You’re a bigger person than I gave you credit for. Welcome back.

Glad you came to your senses.
Trump 2024.
A vote for ANYONE else is a vote for gun-grabbing Kamala.
Don’t let anyone take advantage of you.
— Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) August 2, 2024
It’s OK to disagree with Trump.
But we have to think big.
We have to win this election.
We can have policy debates all day, so long as the general consensus is that we need to save this country.

Some weren’t quite as forgiving…
Bro didn’t even make it 12 hours lol

SO they abused you into going back to backing a Zionist .

In other words, I was losing followers faster than Stacey Abrams can devour a McDonald's Happy Meal, so I'm rejoining Team MAGA because I don't want to get a real job.

Rittenhouse is very young. Like so many youthful “influencers” he isn’t sure what he believes and is often guided by others around him. It’ll be interesting to see how quickly he matures.

I don’t care for that punk ass kid at all, he supports black lives matter, he’s an ill informed idiot.
Anybody that supports BLM is a bit loose upstairs.
100% support Rittenhouse’s acquittal but he should not overestimate his status as an influencer. Supporting ancient, retired, irrelevant Ron Paul for even 12 hours in the most important election in our history demonstrates the young man’s naivety. Fortunately, his group of followers is minuscule.
I am sure that Donald Trump will appreciate the endorsement of a Special (Education) kid whose reputation for intelligence is equaled only by his sound judgement and prudence.
Donald Trump, Jew, does what the Jews command.
Kyle Rittenhouse…
Jewish actor.
Kyle Rittenhouse’s “victims”…
More Jewish actors.
Why would anybody really give-a-sh_t what this little turd thinks – as if he believes he’s that important to the entire scope of things. His comments aren’t even worth shown here.
