Monday, September 16, 2024 - Ryan Routh, the man arrested for allegedly targeting Trump, displayed a Biden-Harris sticker on his truck, according to the FBI after searching his apartment.
Ryan Wesley Routh was arrested on Sunday, September 15 for
allegedly targeting former President Donald Trump with an AK-47 assault rifle
near his Mar-a-Lago golf club. The 58-year-old was reported to have a
Biden-Harris sticker on his vehicle and has been vocal about his political
views online, often posting in support of Democratic candidates and causes.
After voting for Trump in 2016, Routh distanced himself from
Trump’s policies and even accused him of wanting to “make Americans slaves to a
master.” the Washington Post said.
Since 2019, Routh, who has a lengthy criminal record, has exclusively donated to Democratic figures and campaigns and has echoed the anti-Trump rhetoric championed by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
According to the NY Post, the suspect currently under FBI
investigation and detained by local police, had a Biden-Harris bumper sticker
on his pickup truck at his Kaaawa, Hawaii home.
Earlier, on Sunday, Secret Service and Homeland Security
agents searched a former residence of the suspect in Greensboro, North
Carolina. Additionally, photos of Routh's home in Hawaii also surfaced.
Routh advised Biden in an April 22 post on X, to run a
campaign centred around keeping “America democratic and free.”
“DEMOCRACY is on the ballot
and we cannot lose,” the 58-year-old wrote in one of his social media posts.
“We cannot afford to fail,” Routh continued. “The world is counting on us to
show the way.”
