On Friday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Deadline: White House," MSNBC host Rev. Al Sharpton argued that right-wingers "can put people in your protest to bait these kinds of interactions and a Kyle type can therefore then become a hero coming in with violence and solving a problem that was instigated by people that really wasn't on your side." And also stated that Rittenhouse "was the aggressor, looking to do something, apparently not trusting that law enforcement" could handle things.
