EXCLUSIVE Son of alleged would-be assassin says his dad hates Trump like 'all reasonable people' but he's never owned a gun and wouldn't do anything bats*** crazy
Daily Mail UK ^ | September 15, 2024 | Shawn Cohen

The son of Ryan Wesley Routh, the man named as the suspect in a possible assassination attempt near Donald Trump's Florida golf club on Sunday, has said his father is not a violent person and did not even believe him to own a gun.

Routh's son, Oran Routh, reached by DailyMail.com shortly after Sunday's shooting, said this was the first he'd heard of the alleged assassination attempt.

'This was the first I heard about it,' the 35-year-old exclusively told DailyMail.com. 'Was my father shot or injured?'

He said his father hates Trump as 'every reasonable person does.

‘I don't like Trump either,’ the son added.

But he said his dad is not a violent person and couldn't believe his father would target the president.

'He's my dad and all he's had is couple traffic tickets, as far as I know,' the son said. 'That's crazy. I know my dad and love my dad, but that's nothing like him.'

The former president was rushed to safety on Sunday after multiple shots were fired in his vicinity while he was playing golf at his club in West Palm Beach.

Routh said his father, who had no military experience, said he had traveled to Ukraine following Russia’s 2022 invasion to help volunteer and provide aid to those affected.

Routh moved to Hawaii a few years back and was living with his longtime girlfriend. He said he didn't know his father was even in Florida.

'He said he was at the beach, but I thought that meant the outer banks in Hawaii,' he said. 'I didn't ask him for more information because we've had a falling out. We've grown apart.'

All reasonable people? I don't think it's "reasonable" to hate anyone. I may strongly dislike them, I hate what they do, but it's very wrong, and unreasonable to hate a person. (0r at least not Christ like)

“Dad” committed Felonies and got Probation.

People forget Routh was recording via GoPro. So, the Video was to be used to inspire and encourage others.

The guy was allowed in range of a good shot - again!

Routh sounds like your average construction worker — you know: moving to Hawaii, traveling to the war zone of Ukraine to help out a little, shooting at a former president. Just basic stuff everybody does. [/s]

Right. Or he is another liar.

From abbreviated NBC News list:

After the 2002 arrest, authorities allegedly found the suspect in possession of a fully automatic machine gun, according to the Greensboro News & Record report. The arrest coincides with North Carolina criminal court records that include Routh’s conviction for possession of a weapon of mass destruction.

Records also show convictions for carrying a concealed weapon, possession of stolen property and hit-and-run. In those cases, which included misdemeanor convictions for violations such as resisting an officer and driving on a suspended license, the defendant received a suspended sentence and parole or probation.

I guess some dads will go to any length to impress their kid.

The MSM have helped the Democrats to brainwash the left into seeing Trump as an evil person which he is not!! I am ashamed of our media that have taken journalism to a whole new level of propaganda as never seen before. I am not surprised that some nut went after President Trump because the left can’t seem to see their hate is so destructive.

Daily Mail UK - British press... the New York Times wouldn’t be able to find him until they got his address in a news packet from the DNC...

It’s impossible for the FBI to catch people, if they are not looking for them.
