A Florida golf course became the backdrop for an alleged assassination attempt on Sunday in yet another shocking attack on former President Donald Trump.
The would-be assassin, identified as 58-year-old Ryan Routh, was reportedly armed with an AK-47 and just a few hundred yards away from the former president as he played at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.
The would-be assassin’s son, Oran Routh, 35, wasted no time sharing his disdain for Trump, echoing the rhetoric of those on the far left who have repeatedly fanned the flames of violence.
“This was the first I heard about it. Was my father shot or injured?” he told the Daily Mail.
“My dad hates Trump like every reasonable person does.” He even went so far as to say, “I don’t like Trump either,” but in the next breath tried to downplay his father’s actions, claiming, “He’s not a violent person.”
Not violent? Reports suggest that the elder Routh was armed with a military-style weapon, prepared to pull the trigger and target a former U.S. president.
The potential attack was only stopped by the actions of a Secret Service agent, who noticed Routh as he boldly pushed the barrel of his AK-47 through a chain-link fence.
“He’s my dad and all he’s had is couple traffic tickets, as far as I know… That’s crazy. I know my dad and love my dad, but that’s nothing like him.”
Also, Ryan Wesley Routh, the suspected gunman behind the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, was previously charged in 2002 with possessing a weapon of mass destruction and a long list of charges.
Despite the gravity of the situation, Oran Routh’s response to his father’s arrest is nothing short of disturbing.
