Kyle Rittenhouse, 18, sat down with Fox News host Tucker Carlson after being cleared of homicide in the shooting deaths of two men
In footage shared exclusively with DailyMail.com, Rittenhouse slammed commentators on both the left and right as ‘sickening’ for polarizing Americans
‘How polarized it became is absolutely sickening, like, right or left, people using me for a cause that should never have been used as a cause,’ he says
His unanimous acquittal prompted accusations from the left that a ‘racist’ two-tier justice system favors white defendants
Conservatives have lauded Rittenhouse for protecting his community
Carlson spoke to DailyMail.com hours before his exclusive interview airs Monday night on Tucker Carlson Tonight
‘I don’t think he sees himself as a poster boy for anything. In fact, he emphatically doesn’t. And that’s part of the tragedy of it,’ Carlson said
