Amber Ruffin delivered an emotional statement about the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict at the start of Friday’s episode of “The Amber Ruffin Show.”
The host of the Peacock talk-variety show was on the verge of tears as she addressed the shocking acquittal of the teenager who killed two men and shot another with a rifle at a Black Lives Matter protest in Kenosha, Wisc.
Ruffin’s voice quavered at times as she delivered the raw commentary, part of what she described her “responsibility to say things that people need to know that aren’t being said.” She noted that the verdict came in Friday afternoon, shortly before she began taping her New York-based show.
“There are very big obvious truths that no one wants to say on TV, but I will,” she said. “I can’t believe I have to say this but…”
Ruffin trailed off as she fought back tears.
