HUMILIATING: Kyle Rittenhouse Said He’s Attending Texas A&M, University Says ‘No, He’s Not’

By

It is too bad that the Rittenhouse trial occurred as early as it did. Little gunner Kyle’s world tour has exposed him as a big fat liar or at least someone who says things he knows nothing about. It would have been entirely appropriate for the prosecution to use some of his lies while he was on the witness stand and undermine his credibility.

Regardless, the guy that insisted he was going to Arizona State University must have changed his mind because last week he said he’s headed to Texas A&M to be an Aggie. But most people contact the school first to see if the school agrees with their plan. Kyle did not because Texas A&M says that, no, he’s not “going to Texas A&M.”

During a radio appearance last week, Kyle Rittenhouse did his best impression of a high school athlete announcing his college choice on National Signing Day — placing a Texas A&M hat he pulled from under a table on his head.

“I’m going to be going there, and it’s going to be awesome,” said Rittenhouse, who shot three people, two of them fatally, during a 2020 racial-justice protest in Kenosha, Wis.(MORE BELOW)

But a university official said on Sunday that Rittenhouse isn’t attending. “He has not been admitted as a student this summer or fall,” Texas A&M spokeswoman Kelly Brown said in an email.

And this is a bit of a problem for Kyle because Texas A&M is not your local community college that is under an obligation to accept everyone with the proper qualifications (which is almost everyone). No, Texas A&M is one of two fairly prestigious Texas public universities (along with UT Austin) and only 58% of applicants are admitted to Texas A&M. Given that it is a Texas public school, it would be much harder to be accepted as a non-Texan. Additionally, we’ve seen nothing to indicate that Kyle would fit in that top half that gets accepted.

Another day, another Kyle lie. Too bad because Charlie Kirk said that Kyle should go there and be a “Yell leader” (Cheerleader) like former governor Rick Perry.
