Trump's Two Would-Be Assassins Have One Weird Thing in Common


Teri Christoph reporting for RedState 

Things are getting curiouser and curiouser as more information comes out about Ryan Wesley Routh, the unhinged Kamala fan who got all too close to assassinating Donald Trump on Sunday. 

First, he didn't like Trump. At all. Judging by his tweet history, he voted for Trump in 2016, but at some point became disillusioned and, clearly, violent. A truck in the driveway of his home in Hawaii is bedecked with a "Biden-Harris" campaign sticker, so his allegiances had clearly changed. He had turned on Trump way before he set up his sniper's nest near that golf course in Florida. 

Second, this wasn't his first run-in with the law. Not by a long shot (pun not intended!). A police officer in North Carolina recalls of Routh's time there: "I know he was constantly being arrested for a while."

Third, he was creepily obsessed with the war in Ukraine. He seems to have spent considerable time and treasure in the past couple of years trying to drum up support for the war-torn country, to the point of being radicalized to the cause. He even dyed his hair blue and yellow to reflect the Ukraine flag. 

Speaking of Ukraine, here's where the weird part comes in. It turns out that Routh appeared in a propaganda video for the AZOV Brigade, which has been described as a "far-right and ultra-nationalist" group that is "part of Ukraine's National Guard and evolved out of a battalion that fought during Russia's occupation of Crimea 10 years ago." In the video, Routh is taking part in some sort of rally, likely in Kyiv, and appears sullen, with an American flag scarf or bandana tied around his neck.

WATCH: 

Now, it's not entirely weird that Routh appeared in a propaganda video since he was clearly all-in on Ukraine. What's weird is that his predecessor, Trump's first would-be assassin, Thomas Crooks, also appeared in a propaganda video. Remember that? It got memory-holed pretty quickly, but, as they say, the internet is forever.

Ukraine, BlackRock. BlackRock, Ukraine. Hmmm.

So, here we have two loose cannons who both appeared in propaganda videos for groups that could kindly be described as having globalist interests. And these two guys both decided to try to take out Donald Trump, with varying levels of success. 

It's not a conspiracy theory to say this is a weird coincidence, but that's not necessarily because our betters at the World Economic Forum are out to get us. Of course they are. This speaks more to the kind of person who falls prey to the kind of violent political rhetoric being spouted by the American left and their leaders, such as Kamala Harris. A day doesn't go by that some Democrat or one of their media mouthpieces doesn't call Donald Trump an enemy of the state, the consequences be damned. 

All it takes is for weak men like Routh and Crooks to answer the call of their leftist leaders in the Democrat Party. And that's exactly what has happened two times now. Donald Trump is lucky to be alive today, and will be even luckier if he makes it to election day unscathed, all because the Democrats and their foot soldiers are unable to control their words and their emotions.
