ABC News referred to Kyle Rittenhouse as an “alleged white supremacist” in a Friday report, despite the teen having no ties to any extremism, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).

The ABC report referred to Rittenhouse as an alleged racist without offering any evidence to support the assertion. Instead, the report later noted of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden featuring the teenager in a video ad about “white supremacists.” The video triggered a reaction from Rittenhouse lawyer L. Lin Wood, who threatened a lawsuit over the alleged libel.
