Kyle Rittenhouse, the 23-year-old conservative influencer, has shocked his followers by posting photos from a hospital bed after being bitten by a venomous spider. Despite being hooked up to machines and IVs puncturing his torso, with visible red marks on his thigh, Rittenhouse remained in good spirits.
Social Media Update
In a social media post, Rittenhouse wrote: 'The communists couldn't take me out and I'll be damned if I let a brown recluse take me out.' The brown recluse spider is a rarely seen arachnid whose complex venom can cause injury and death, according to the National Capital Poison Center.
Revenge Claimed
Rittenhouse also posted a photo of himself preparing to shoot a rifle, suggesting he had exacted revenge. 'The spider, like the commies, also thought it was a good idea to come after me while I was armed. He did not survive,' he stated. However, he admitted that he did 'wish I was Spider-man now' after the bite.
Background
Rittenhouse, now a popular content creator and right-wing influencer, initially became infamous for killing two men and injuring a third during the 2020 Kenosha riots, which followed the death of George Floyd. His latest ordeal has once again drawn public attention.
