Joe Biden may have to 'pony up some dough' for 'libelous' comments about Kyle Rittenhouse: Jesse Watters - Fox News

'The Five' panel discuss the Rittenhouse interview on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight,' including his message to President Joe Biden for casting him as a white supremacist.

During the interview, Rittenhouse accused President Biden of acting with "malice" and defaming him. .

President, if I could say one thing to you, I would urge you to go back and watch the trial and understand the facts before you make a statement," Rittenhouse said.

Then-candidate Biden had tweeted out a video condemning White supremacy that featured an image of Rittenhouse in Kenosha, Wisconsin

Biden later said, "Allegedly [Rittenhouse is] part of a militia coming out in the state of Illinois." 

Brian Kilmeade said the messaging from the White House indicates an apology is not on the horizon

"The apology is not coming, and [Psaki] tried to qualify [Rittenhouse] using the term White supremacy, which [Biden] also tweeted; I'm sure [the president] didn't tweet himself, but on his account [it was] tweeted out about White supremacy

The White House press secretary said, "[Biden] has obviously condemned the hatred and division and violence we've seen around the country by groups like the Proud Boys and groups that that individual (Rittenhouse) has posed in photos with."

"I don't know if Kyle knew who is in the photo," Watters said
