Authorities arrested Ryan Wesley Routh for allegedly trying to shoot former President Donald Trump.
So what do we know?
Routh voted for Trump in 2016 but changed sides after the president disappointed him.
You know the media will latch on that 2016 vote and ignore his support for Democrats after that because journalism is dead.
A background check on the name given by officials, Ryan Wesley Routh, revealed that he currently lives in Hawaii and has faced dozens of run-ins with police, stretching back to at least the 1990s.Routh is a native of North Carolina, where his list of arrests includes simple drug possession, driving without a license, expired inspection and operating a vehicle with no insurance. In addition, the Greensboro News & Record reported in 2002 that Routh was arrested after barricading himself in his roofing company’s office during a three-hour standoff that followed a traffic stop in which he put his hand on a gun before fleeing.
Routh has lived in Hawaii since 2017 where he developed another construction company to build homes for the homeless.
Routh claimed he fought in Ukraine. He also tried to recruit soldiers to fight in Ukraine against Russia.
He even spoke to Newsweek Romania:
In a June 2022 interview with Newsweek Romania, Routh spoke about his efforts to recruit volunteers for the International Legion Defense of Ukraine, a unit of Ukraine’s Ground Forces.”The question as far as why I’m here — To me, a lot of the other conflicts are grey, but this conflict is definitely black and white,” Routh said. “This is about good versus evil. This is a storybook, you know, any movie we’ve ever watched, this is definitely evil against good.”
In March 2023, Semafor identified “Routh as the head of the International Volunteer Center (IVC) in Ukraine, a private organization that works to ’empower volunteers’ and other non-profit groups that work to ‘enhance the distribution of humanitarian aid throughout Ukraine,’ according to the IVC’s website.”
