Prominent Republicans have demanded President Joe Biden “publicly apologise” for suggesting the teenager acquitted of murdering two protesters in Wisconsin last year was a white supremacist.

People across the US demonstrated after Kyle Rittenhouse (18) was cleared of all charges in a politically divisive case that has split America once again. The ruling sparked protests in cities across the country — from New York to Portland, Oregon — last Friday night.
