In an online post early on Friday, Mr Rittenhouse - now outreach director for the group Texas Gun Rights - said that "unfortunately, Donald Trump has bad advisers, making him bad on the Second Amendment", which protects gun ownership in the US.

"If you cannot be completely un-compromisable on the Second Amendment, I will not vote for you," he said on X, formerly Twitter. "We need champions for the Second Amendment or our rights would be eaten away and eroded each day."

"I support my decision and I have no take-backs," he added.

In a later post, however, he wrote that in the last 12 hours he had had "a series of productive conversations with members of the Trump's team and I am confident he will be the strong ally gun owners need to defend our Second Amendment rights".

He called his comments from the night earlier "ill-informed and unproductive".

During those 12 hours MAGA world just dogpiled on him.

"Little boy blue said he won't vote for Trump, BIG MISTAKE. Rittenhouse is a joke, didn't even pass 6th grade. We don't need losers like that in MAGA do we folks?"
