The judge in charge of the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, who shot three people with an AR-15 style semi-automatic assault rifle at a protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, killing two of them, is being criticized for remarks he made Thursday afternoon.
Judge Bruce Schroeder first came to the public's attention when he told prosecutors they could not refer to the two people Rittenhouse shot to death as "victims."
On Wednesday, in between shouting at the prosecutor several times, live, on-camera, Schroeder's phone rang, revealing his ringtone as Donald Trump's campaign theme song, "God Bless the USA."
Thursday afternoon, asked about what time he expected to break for lunch, Judge Schroeder offered up this "joke":
“I hope the Asian food isn't coming.. isn't on one of those boats from Long Beach Harbor."

Another example of Hollywood Action people in other shidhole countries define as in full display by the racist judge. “Asian food, on one of the boats in harbor" Schroeder will do this 🤷♂️ and say, “But I thought it was just funny!" or, “supply chain issues…" We good at it!

Judge Schroeder just made a racist comment about Asians before going on lunch break saying he hopes the Asian food doesn't come off a boat. Are you fucking kidding me? He's racist and biased. He needs to be removed from the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. #RittenhouseTrial #racist #judge pic.twitter.com/wV8xNrHHFy
