President Biden allowed the man who reportedly said he wished he would have killed Kyle Rittenhouse, to see him and shake his hands.

“Today, Joe Biden shook hands with Gaige Grosskreutz, the felon who nearly murdered Kyle Rittenhouse and lied to the police about carrying an illegal firearm,” Michael Gallas said on Twitter. 

Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, retweeted and commented on the venue's security.

“The Secret Service allowed him in? Typically, he would never be allowed near a president, which likely means a political official in the WH got him in,” Futon tweeted.

Gaige Grosskreutz drew his handgun and was moments away from shooting prone Kyle Rittenhouse when Rittenhouse fired a shot from his rifle, wounding Grosskreutz in the arm. Grosskreutz allegedly told a friend while recovering that he wished he had killed Rittenhouse. Grosskreutz has previously been charged with felony burglary, theft of transportable property, criminal trespass, and disorderly conduct, according to court records. Grosskreutz was prohibited from possessing a firearm because he was a criminal. At the time of the shooting, he and two others were rioting and were shot and killed by Rittenhouse. All of them had criminal records. Last year, Rittenhouse was found not guilty of the shooting.

Grosskreutz is noted as a member of the People’s Revolution Movement of Milwaukee.

“I’ve been all right, but it’s been a little difficult ‘cause with all the false narratives that were put out, where people called me a white supremacist, a murderer and racist, and all those other lies, I don’t know if somebody’s seen one of those articles or watched one of those news stories,” Rittenhouse on The Jenna Ellis Show podcast, New York Post reported.

Rittenhouse called out Biden for ignoring his requests to meet with him.

"While the verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included, we must acknowledge that the jury has spoken," Biden stated in a press release following Rittenhouse's verdict.
