Kyle Rittenhouse and Lara Logan at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago MAGA Ball 2022.

Kyle Rittenhouse has surfaced again in meme discourse after a photograph of him with South African journalist Lara Logan at Mar-a-Lago went viral yesterday on Twitter. The attention focused on what Rittenhouse "wasn't looking at," instead making direct eye contact with the camera and giving a strange smile.


Yesterday, former U.S. President Donald Trump hosted a MAGA ball at his Mar-a-Lago resort. In attendance were many GOP representatives such as Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz, among others.

The highlight of the event happened when a photograph was taken of Rittenhouse and Logan. It was posted on Twitter by user @RonFilipkowski, who received over 14,000 likes in less than 24 hours as people began commenting on it in droves.

Within multiple quote retweets and replies, many saw what Rittenhouse wasn't looking at, and started posting memes about his abrasive eye contact with the camera. The photo spread to other platforms like Instagram, where meme creators on both sides of the political aisle saw the humor in the image macro.


Also, speculation started to mount regarding what was visible beneath Rittenhouse's jacket. Many speculated it was a handgun, with the impression of its trigger appearing in a concealed holster. Twitter users then started to draw red circles around it, highlighting its presence.

Additionally, the suit jacket Rittenhouse was wearing appeared to be the same one he wore during his trial last year. The comparison can be seen in photos of when he cried, which inspired countless memes.


The young Republican, now having been on Fox News to talk to Tucker Carlson about his impending lawsuits and using his own crying meme to make a point about the 2022 gas price surge seems to be becoming a frequent figure in conservative politics.

This phenomenon has stirred up lots of controversy and discussion, with many who believe he was let off too easy still unhappy about the Kenosha shooting and aftermath. Regardless, he continues surfacing in memes and the media surrounding it consistently goes viral.
