The corrupt media is really trying to re-write history with would be Trump assassin and Ukraine licker Ryan Routh… For whatever reason, Routh send left wing shit wiper a love letter “explaining” why he wanted to shoot Trump… And of course, Politico is playing along pretending that Routh isn’t a Democrat… (this despite the fact he had a Biden-Harris bumper stick on his truck), left his kid and was more pro-Ukraine than pro-America… Yea,… sounds like a total MAGA extremist to me, Politico!
The opening paragraph more than suggests that it was unfair for Trump and Vance to blame all the HitlerFascistDictatorAutocratDangerToDemocracy fear-mongering for encouraging two assassination attempts, the first of which ended with Trump getting shot in the face.
The closing Politico paragraph laughably claims, “we can’t know what may have driven an agitated mind to attempt a heinous act.”
But if you actually read the article and the quotes from Routh himself … the mystery is solved.
Routh’s letter was written prior to the election and in it Routh said if Trump won America “should remove the power of our military by the President and place it with Congress before January.” Routh added, “We must limit all Presidential power before Trump seizes our country.”
Then Routh calls Trump a — wait for it, wait for it — “dictator.”
In the letter, although Routh refers to himself as “Trump Alleged Shooter,” he still compares himself to Thomas Matthew Crooks, the man who shot Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, over the summer. Routh said both he and Crooks were “ready to die for freedom and democracy.”
Routh is even angry Trump pulled out of that terrible Iran deal during his first term.
“The letter didn’t mention Harris at all,” admits Politico, and then the article goes right into the whodunit: “In the end, we can’t know what may have driven an agitated mind to attempt a heinous act.”
Yeah, we got ourselves a real head-scratcher here. After all, what are we to make of an alleged assassin who parrots the Biden/Harris talking points of “dictator,” and protecting “freedom” and “democracy” from the Orange Bad Man.
