MARK LEVIN (HOST): So if you watch LevinTV tonight — those of who you subscribe can see it tonight, or those of you who have Pluto on your smart TV, the Pluto network, you can see it, too — I do a full interview with our Blaze reporter who's been in Kenosha for four days, including during the shooting.
And he interviewed, before the shooting, that 17-year old kid. And the media are calling him, like, a white supremacist, or militia — he's not those things, he never was. BuzzFeed's out there trying to — the same people who attack all the — that's not who he is, it's much more complicated than that.
He felt he was a patriot, going in there to try and protect everybody. To try and put down the violence. He had wanted to be a cop. And you'll see he's assaulted, he's hit over the head with a skateboard. And they're trying to pull his rifle from him, and he fires off shots. It's just not so black and white, it just isn't.
…
And as the congressman from this area said, when he was interviewed on Fox — his district includes Kenosha, they have a Democrat mayor there — that these rioters are coming in from Chicago. Chicago’s not that far from Kenosha, Wisconsin. And so what’s happening, ladies and gentlemen, is this is a roving mob, a paramilitary mob, Marxist anarchists.
