Police say Ryan Routh was planning to shoot former President Donald Trump on Sunday. His X profile shows his support for President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and Ukraine in the fight against Russia’s attack.
“I think you should go see the Trump gathering victims in the hospital and go to the funeral of the firefighter who died. Trump would never do that. SHOW THE WORLD WHAT REAL LEADERS DO,” Routh reportedly told Biden on X after the July attempt on Trump’s life.
“Go to the funeral of the dead firefighter and visit the hurt people at the hospital from the Trump gathering. Trump will never do anything for them…show the world what kindness and care are all about,” Routh’s claimed account told Harris on the same day.
Routh also wrote on Facebook that “DEMOCRACY is on the ticket” this election, which is something Democrats have said and thought a lot this year.
Soon after police confirmed that Routh was the main suspect, Meta removed his supposed Facebook account.
BREAKING: Meta has already scrubbed the Facebook page of the would be Trump Assassin Ryan Routh.

In an earlier story, Blaze News said that law enforcement sources said they found an AK-47 in the trees at Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course.
There were gunshots near President Trump, but he is safe. “At this time, there are no more details,” said Steven Cheung, who is in charge of media for the Trump campaign.
