We know little so far, but w alleged Trump shooter’s personal and public participation in military activity in Ukraine, it is hard to imagine this White House’s agencies can claim zero contact—”clean hands.” Something of an Oswald vibe, here. Congress should get answers. pic.twitter.com/lDD1TLsLVf

He claimed on X that Trump wanted to “make Americans slaves against master.” He also urged Joe Biden to run a campaign centered on keeping “America democratic and free” back before Biden dropped out in favor of Kamala Harris.
Routh had a habit of raging against Trump, posting once: “I and the world hoped that president Trump would be different and better than the candidate, but we all were greatly disappointment and it seems you are getting worse and devolving; are you retarded; I will be glad when you gone.”
Secret Service agents saw Routh near the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, carrying what appeared to be an AK-47. The agents fired at him, but he managed to escape. He was eventually caught by local police on I-95.
There should be plenty of video around the golf course so before I say he did it and wasn’t set up as a patsy, I won’t believe any of it. I do believe, however, that our government is involved and if he is involved, then he was set up by the government. I mean, seriously is this guy so stupid, that he would leave his drone and AK-47? And if they find his fingerprints on the gun, did they raid his home because he wasn’t there? Don’t trust the news, don’t trust our government, we have been deceived For decades.
I am glad they did not kill him, like they did the other shooter in July. Now we can get some answers from this guy,if the SS, or FBI, don’t kill him to keep his mouth shut.
He like Crook was in a Blackrock video, hmmmm…
Demon possessed by the DEMONcrat communist party. They promote violence and insurrection by their satanic minions. Antifa, blm. etc.
