As the clip of Kyle discussing his TikTok profile began circulating on social media, it became clear that many people on social media found the whole thing ridiculous.

“Lmfao the prosecutor brings up how Kyle Rittenhouse had a TikTok account with the name 4DOORSMOREW-ORES. The clown show continues," one user wrote.

“Watching some of the Rittenhouse trial and the lawyer throws the dude's TikTok account on the screen and his old username was 4DoorsMoreWh-res……….come on now Kyle," another added.

"Anyone else see that video of the prosecutor asking Kyle Rittenhouse about his TikTok??? I'm scream laughing at how ridiculous and funny that is like is this trial just a full satire?" a third person commented.

Although the trial gets at serious questions about vigilantism and race in the US, it's clear that many are also surprised by the central role that TikTok has played thus far.
