What was Judge Schroeder’s ringtone?
As the Rittenhouse defence team spoke, Judge Schroeder’s phone interrupted, blaring a song that is likely familiar to many Americans.
The Judge’s ringtone was reportedly Lee Greenwood’s ‘God Bless The USA’, used frequently as the ‘theme tune’ for rallies headlined by ex-President Donald Trump.
Evident by the name, ‘God Bless The USA’ is a rather patriotic anthem, featuring lyrics such as: “And I’m proud to be an American, Where at least I know I’m free.”
The song was released back in 1984, but gained traction years later following the 9/11 terror attacks.

Another tweeted: “They will make a movie about this and no one will believe it’s based on actual events.”
Somebody else took to Twitter: “Wait did this actually happen?!?”
Another wrote: “Wait seriously?”
