Son of suspect speaks after apparent Trump assassination attempt in Florida
Oran Routh says dad, accused of targeting ex-president for unknown motivations, was passionate about Ukraine cause
However, many on X noted how the political views espoused by the account under Routh’s name were not exclusively pro-Democrat. The account described voting for Trump when he won the presidency in 2016 and expressed support for a White House ticket combining the unsuccessful Republican presidential primary contenders Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley.
The account’s most recent post was addressed to Harris, timed in between Trump’s failed 13 July assassination at a political rally in Pennsylvania and when she replaced Joe Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket after the president opted to halt his re-election campaign. The post said the vice-president and Biden should visit two spectators wounded and attend the funeral of a rally-goer slain at the shooting before the attacker was shot dead by a Secret Service sniper.
I think this dude was an actual independent who voted for trump and the leopards ate his face.
12And good on the Secret Service for spotting him, they really seem to have stepped up their protection.
That said, screw Trump, I hope he completely fails this election. I don't particularly like Harris either, but she'd probably be better than Trump.
