For the record, there is no evidence at all that Kyle Rittenhouse is in any way affiliated with any group espousing white nationalism or white supremacy, nor is there anything on the record that he has said or written indicating such a political stance.
For reasons it did not explain but likely related to these labels, GoFundMe removed accounts set up to fund a legal defense for Rittenhouse
Meanwhile, GoFundMe hosts an account for the family of Anthony Huber, who was shot and killed, and another for his “significant other.”
But young Rittenhouse will not be without support as he fights the six felony counts on which he has been indicted.
For a review of what the evidence so far shows, see: What really happened with those Kenosha shootings. It appears that in each of the three cases where he used his rifle, he was defending himself. See also these tweets from Andy Ngo with graphic evidence of the danger Rittenhouse faced.

Lin Wood, the superlawyer who has won settlements for Nick Sandmann, stepped up with an offer to defend Rittenhouse after GoFundMe denied hm the opportunity to raise money, and now there is a place where donations can be made. But Wood’s specialty is not criminal law, it is defamation cases, and the odds are good that he has ample scope for raising a lot of money for Rittenhouse
i agree. i was poking fun at the absurdity of the charge.
GOA has stepped up to the plate also, with money and attorneys.

Here’s an interview with Kyle Rittenhouse where Kyle explains why he is there. ‘White Supremecist?’
Then there’s this:

We wait. Midway through, one of the few other men waiting outside with us becomes distraught. He’s just learned that his friend, one of the victims, is being taken to surgery and might lose his arm. The man begins pacing, crying out and screaming. He tries to pump himself up enough to call his friend’s family.
“Come on, man. You’ve gotta call them. You’ve gotta call his family. His friends. Come on, man,” he says out loud.
The other man gets on the phone at some point and tells someone that he’s waiting outside of the hospital.
“A white supremacist just shot a bunch of innocent protesters,” we hear him say.
Julio and I look at each other with the same confused face. “What?” I think.
Earlier in the night, the supposedly “white supremacist” shooter had been rendering aid to protesters injured by the crowd control munitions that police fired.
The night before that, I spoke with three members of this crew that the shooter was a part of. They were protecting a local business and got into a heated argument with protesters who accused them of not being on their side.
One person in the armed crew, which calls itself “The Libertarians,” explained that they were on the same side. Richie even spoke to the shooter right before the incident. He asked why he was armed and standing in front of a business.
“So people are getting injured, and our job is to protect this business and part of my job is to also help people. If there’s somebody hurt, I’m running into harms way. That’s why I have my weapon, I need to protect myself, obviously,” he said.
“But I also have my med kit.”
