Gun rights activist Kyle Rittenhouse is taking heat after announcing he will be writing in former Rep. Ron Paul for the 2024 presidential election over former President Donald Trump.

The 21-year-old made the decision because of the former president’s “bad” policies when it comes to protecting the Second Amendment, according to Rittenhouse.

“A lot of people are upset that I said I’m going to be writing in Ron Paul for president of the United States, and that is true. I will be writing in Ron Paul,” he said. “Unfortunately, Donald Trump had bad advisers making him bad on the Second Amendment, and that is my issue.”

“If you cannot be completely uncompromisable on the Second Amendment, I will not vote for you, and I will write somebody else in,” Rittenhouse added. “We need champions for the Second Amendment, or our rights will be eaten away and eroded each day. I support my decision, and I have no takebacks.”

His choice to back Paul over Trump is one of principle, Rittenhouse said, but conservatives have blasted it across social media as a betrayal and a free vote for the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris.

“This is a WILD take. Do you not understand that by writing in a candidate you are giving a vote to Kamala? It is very clear she and Democrats wants to strip every American of their gun rights,” one conservative wrote in an X post. “You sound like a child throwing a temper tantrum because they aren’t getting their way.”

“Just unfollowed you. If not for MAGA, you would be rotting in a prison bending over for Bubba,” according to another conservative commentator. “MAGA raised unbelievable sums of money for you. Trump welcome you into his home. This is how you thank him and the MAGA movement after all those years of support?”

“@RonPaul wouldn’t even want you to do this. Shame you’re using your platform to encourage foolishness but fortunately most people realize you’re a new adult who has much to learn,” another user wrote. “Just because you know how to use a gun doesn’t mean you know how to use your vote.”

Possible Democratic vice presidential nominee Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY) apologized to Diet Mountain Dew on Thursday due to an insult in which he mocked the drink and Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH).

“Folks, I’ve been a person that, when sometimes I’ve gone over the line, I’ve wanted to make sure that I set the record straight,” Beshear, 46, told reporters. “I do owe an apology to Diet Mountain Dew.”

“Ale-8-One is definitely the soft drink of Kentucky, but I don’t believe the government should be making your decisions,” he added while showing off a bottle of Diet Mountain Dew. “So, if you enjoy Diet Mountain Dew, uh, you be you. We want to support you, and to Diet Mountain Dew, very sorry, didn’t mean to say negative things about you.”

Beshear’s apology stems from a Monday interview on CNN in which the Kentucky Democrat mocked Vance’s past and his affinity for the green diet soft drink.

“What was weird was him joking about racism today and then talking about Diet Mountain Dew. Who drinks Diet Mountain Dew?” he said in response to a battle between the two about who is really from Appalachia. “But in all seriousness, he ain’t from here. He is not from Kentucky. This a guy who would come, maybe in the summers, for some period of time, or to weddings or funerals, and then he claims to be from eastern Kentucky, tries to write a book about it, to profit off our people.”

Despite apologizing to Diet Mountain Dew, Beshear appeared to stand firm on his argument that Vance is no Appalachian on Thursday.

“Just remember I am from here,” he said. “Just like everybody else that is speaking out.”

Actress Ashley Judd called on President Joe Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential election on Friday due to his “obvious limitations,” according to an opinion piece she wrote.

Judd, 56, decided to call for Biden’s exit in her op-ed article in USA Today following his June 27 debate debacle against former President Donald Trump and witnessing some of her family members’ love for the 45th president, she wrote days after George Clooney rocked Democrats via his own call for Biden with withdraw from the race.

“I listened to one of my dearest people share some of those beliefs and thoughts, it hurt. I was shaken,” Judd wrote. “I do not necessarily think all Trump supporters believe, feel, act and speak like this. I know Donald Trump himself does. That is critical. That is why I have come to realize that my private, personal belief is one I should no longer just keep to myself.”

Biden’s limitations make him unfit to battle the “cruelty” espoused by Trump, and America cannot be left to endure another Trump term, she wrote.

“I feel immense, bereft sadness at the beliefs Donald Trump holds, and that his supporters endorse. But that sadness is trivial compared to the hurt, devastation and loss millions will feel if Donald Trump is reelected,” the Heat actress argued. “He would wield the power of the presidency with unprecedented, incalculable cruelty and unfairness.”

Preventing the election of Trump and the alleged installment of Project 2025, which was created by the Heritage Foundation (a conservative think tank), appears to be the highest priority for the actress and outspoken Democrat. She declared voters deserve a real choice for the Democratic ticket. Trump, however, has distanced himself from the initiative, saying that he “knew nothing about it.”

“Some in Washington may want to wait for the next week, the next press conference, the next network interview. Here, where I sit in rural Tennessee, it is clear that Americans have already made up their minds against President Biden, on top of the majority who love to vote for Donald Trump,” she wrote.
