Respond to of 4940 So he was maga and was somehow duped into sending money to ActBlue? "The alleged gunman who authorities said targeted former President Trump while he golfed in Florida Sunday afternoon previously declared on social media that “Democracy is on the ballot” this year, and “we cannot lose” — echoing the anti-Trump rhetoric used by Vice President Kamala Harris and President Biden. Law enforcement sources identified the suspect as Ryan Wesley Routh, 58. Routh, who has a lengthy criminal record from North Carolina, frequently posted about politics and exclusively donated to Democratic candidates and causes dating back to 2019."nypost.com He also bashed Trump in an April 22 post on X in which he declared, “DEMOCRACY is on the ballot and we cannot lose.” He advised Biden, 81, in an April 22 X post when he was still running for reelection, to run a campaign around keeping “America democratic and free.” He claimed Trump wants to “make Americans slaves against master. “DEMOCRACY is on the ballot and we cannot lose,” he wrote, a similar slogan commonly used by President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. “We cannot afford to fail,” Routh continued. “The world is counting on us to show the way.” This is similar to language that Harris continues to use on the campaign trail. On Aug. 29, she said at a rally in Savannah, Ga., “We are fighting for our democracy.” "On July 31, she said at an event in Houston that “our fundamental freedoms are on the ballot and so is our democracy” — after using identical wording at a sorority event the same day. Tom Fitton, president of the conservative legal group Judicial Watch, told The Post: “It is no coincidence that Routh repeated Kamala’s and Joe’s extremist rhetoric against Trump. At this point it is inexcusable incitement.” His own son was interviewed today: "The son of the alleged gunman who targeted former President Trump on his Florida golf course Sunday said his dad hates Trump like “every reasonable person does” — but claimed he’s not a violent person, according to a report. Oran Routh told the Daily Mail that his father, Ryan Routh, who was arrested in the alleged assassination attempt isn’t a fan of the Republican nominee. “I don’t like Trump either,” he said. But the younger Routh, 35, insisted his dad is not violent and was shocked to hear about the allegations. “He’s my dad and all he’s had is couple traffic tickets, as far as I know,’ the son told the Daily Mail. “That’s crazy. I know my dad and love my dad, but that’s nothing like him.”
