Kyle Rittenhouse’s sister Faith is seeking $3,000 on a crowdfunding website in a bid to prevent the eviction of herself and her mother Wendy from their home, citing her “brother’s unwillingness to provide or contribute to our family.”

    There’s a certain type of person who thinks work is beneath them. That’s who the Rittenhouse family is.

      …what? What are you basing this on?

      When the children were small, Wendy and Mike worked various jobs, including machine operator, housekeeper, and cashier.

      Wendy had become a certified nursing assistant, but she continued to struggle financially. The family was repeatedly evicted.

      In 2018, shortly after another eviction, Wendy filed for bankruptcy. She developed a gastrointestinal bleed that required hospitalization, and Faith was also hospitalized, after an attempted overdose involving over-the-counter painkillers

        Gotta love a conservative family that votes to undermine all the social services they’d need in situations like this. But they seem to be able to afford guns…

          In fairness guns are way more affordable than healthcare is America. Sports cars are more affordable than healthcare in America.
