I guess he didn't get the memo that trying to play both sides after having made his bed with one doesn't work. Not that I'm sad over him possibly losing plenty of white supremacist friends, but he's not making many new ones anytime soon with empty talk. Actions bang a lot louder than words afterall, and especially in his case.
Fox News is already spinning that:

Not that surprising really. He went on their favourite TV show and told them that he supports BLM. If you're a white supremacist...that's not something you want to hear.
They're happy with him saying he's not a racist. They love the fact that he says it was self-defense. They're ecstatic that he says he supports peaceful protest.
But saying he supports BLM is a big no-no.
What kind of Self-respecting White Supremacist goes on National Television and says that Black Lives Matter?

I was really hoping Arbery's case would have a quick decision; hopefully they're just hung up on Bryan.

Rittenhouse is guilty of using a half-windsor. Seriously, that's the worst way you can tie a tie.
On a more serious note, again, it's ridiculous that Rittenhouse was not charged for unlawful possession. Also, self defense hinging on Rittenhouse "believing" he was in danger is probably what tipped the jury's decision.
If Rittenhouse had been shot instead, the others should have been found not guilty in that case, as it was pretty reasonable to assume that Rittenhouse pointing his gun at people before provocation happened was an intent to shoot.
Every (responsible) second amendment enthusiast teaches their kids basic gun safety, and one of the first thing you tell them is NEVER POINT YOUR GUN AT SOMEONE UNLESS YOU INTEND TO SHOOT THEM.

I think what was the key to Rittenhouse getting away with murder was the judge because he narrowed the scope so much and barred anything that was done before and after the incident. Even the smallest thing like they can couldn't call the murder victims that but they could call them rioters, looters and whatever else. During the trial he may as well have been a second defense lawyer with the stunts he pulled for Rittenhouse, the prosecution was also bad at their job but Rittenhouse can't ask for a better defense lawyer than the judge.
