As Kyle took to the stand to defend himself during the trial, the prosecutor brought up and questioned the teenager about his TikTok account. Prosecutor Thomas Binger asked Rittenhouse about his TikTok account named \u20184doorsmorewh*res\u2019. The account had 24 followers and has since been taken down from the platform, but an old screenshot was displayed in the courtroom. Kyle was asked about the account, where the prosecutor specifically mentioned the profile picture which showed the teenager holding a rifle. Rittenhouse\u2019s account bio also read \u201cBruh, I\u2019m just trying to be famous.\u201d The mentioning of the teenager\u2019s TikTok has agitated many across social media. Some argue that it was unnecessary to mention the TikTok account. \u201cThe clown show continues,\u201d said one, along with the clip of the prosecution talking about Kyle\u2019s TikTok. What the hell is the point of that line of questioning? Just demonstrates that he\u2019s a typical teenage boy with typical teenage boy sense of humor. \u2014 \ud83c\udfdc\ufe0fAZKB\ud83c\udf35\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@karbar711) November 10, 2021 \u201cWhat the hell is the point of that line of questioning?
