Kyle Rittenhouse attorney says Rittenhouse should stay off TV, change his name

Kyle Rittenhouse’s attorney says he needs to stay off TV and out of the public eye.

In a new interview, Mark Richards said Rittenhouse should change his name and quietly “start his life over.” Richards explained, “I think there’s a lot of people who want to use Kyle for their own needs. People want to use his name, get it out there so they can get some publicity. I think it’s cheap.”

Rittenhouse is being pursued for a congressional internship position by Republican Representatives Madison Cawthorn, Paul Gosar and Matt Gaetz.

Richards called the lawmakers’ exploitation of Rittenhouse “disgusting.”
