Man held in apparent assassination attempt criticized Trump. This is what we know

A 58-year-old man detained Sunday in connection with an apparent assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Florida is a self-employed affordable housing builder in Hawaii who went on social media to weigh in on politics and current events, at times criticizing the former president.
Ryan Wesley Routh, who authorities suspect was planning to attack the former president as he played a round of golf, posted comments on an X account linked to him referencing the assassination attempt on Trump at a July rally in Pennsylvania.
Routh tagged Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, in separate posts, encouraging them to visit those injured at the rally. #Trump #CNN #news

Known to police for 20 years, still had a gun... that's America for you.

[mrdexs]

This all seems like the would-be assassin had a concept of a plan.

Let's see how long CNN covers this SECOND attempt on Trump's life before they go back to covering J6 from 4 years ago. LMAO!!!!

[TeranIcer]

CNN begrudgingly covering this. Dude had over 100 arrests but still could get an AK. Also, how TF did he get in the golf course so easily?😮

[OT_concerned_citizen]

The secret service was exposed the first time. Every wacko saw how easy it was

[jacksteven]

You remember when News could be shared without a panel of 50 different people sharing their sentiments?

[StarDust-vmqs]

Why is it that YouTubers had more information on the suspect YESTERDAY than Mainstream media? Is this a sign that Mainstream media is becoming irrelevant?

[NPC]

CNN compares trump to Hitler and then are shocked when this happens

[jkang]

FBI goes into cover up mode scrubbing all the shooter's social media information

[GoogleUser-wfbn]

This is exactly the kind of person who should not be able to own a firearm.

[Awesomefishingvideo-bbtf]

what do you think ? Known to police for 20 years, still had a gun... that's America for you.

[Bradanderson]

IT WAS NOT APPARENT. IT WAS AN ATTEMPT! CALL IT WHAT IT IS.

[sooyounglee]

How did he know Trump will play golf? They need to investigate that.

[ekajnr]

Many people with guns and mental issues.

As a Asian i am deeply concerned about the deteriorating state of democracy and freedom of speech in the USA just like the USA is concerned about ours !!!

I dislike how everyone is scrambling to find out any piece of information about shooter's motives. No one is doing it to prevent next shooting but they are more interested about finding out if he represents the other side so that they can use it on their political attacks. No matter what his motives are, he doesn't represent any side. He's just a crazy man with a gun.

[xJDMWaRRiRx]

Ahh yes, the completely sane and normal people of a CNN comment section

[jmpattillo]

A guy on reddit posted his entire twitter history. A cursory glance reveals that he’s a nutjob who thinks he’s the hero in his own story.

[lance]

If I had to make a wild guess as to why he'd do this, I'd say it was because he didn't want to see Ukraine defunded.

Stop celebrating this. This is not good. Pray for this country.
