More and more is being uncovered about Ryan Wesley Routh, the man who allegedly intended to assassinate former president Donald Trump in Florida on Sunday. 

As RedState's Nick Arama reported, this wasn't the first time Routh had tangled with the law. He had priors in North Carolina, including "possession of weapons of mass destruction, carrying a concealed gun, hit and run, possession of stolen goods and resisting law enforcement, among other charges." 

Routh's neighbor in North Carolina described him as “a little cuckoo” and recalled “a lot of people were afraid” of the would-be assassin. Routh's son, however, painted a different picture of his father, saying:

“He’s not a violent person,” Oran Routh also said. “He’s a hard worker and a great dad. He’s a great dude, a nice guy and has worked his whole f–king life.”

The younger Routh also offered some important insight into a possible motive for his father wanting to kill the former president.

The son of the alleged gunman who targeted former President Donald Trump on his Florida golf course Sunday said his dad hates Trump like “every reasonable person does” — but claimed he’s not a violent person, according to a report.

Oran Routh told the Daily Mail that his father, Ryan Routh, who was arrested in the alleged assassination attempt, isn’t a fan of the Republican nominee.

“I don’t like Trump either,” he added.

But the younger Routh, 35, insisted his dad is not violent and said he was shocked to hear about the allegations.

The picture emerging of Ryan Wesley Routh is that of a disturbed man whose hate got the better of him despite the fact that he preached to the world about being "kind" and "caring."

Newsweek interviewed Routh back in 2022, when he was in Ukraine apparently to rally support for the country at the start of its war against Russia. To him, Ukraine is all that is good in the world and Russia is the evil. He looks bedraggled in the video, with his hair dyed blue and yellow to reflect the Ukrainian flag, and he possibly has a black eye. His is demeanor is that of a person who's political proclivities have started to eat away at him. 

Let's hear him in his own words:

[...] this is definitely evil against good. I mean, we're battling a situation here where, you know, Ukraine and the rest of the world are caring and kind and generous and unselfish and take care of one another.

He continues that "the most important thing in the world is to just show human beings that we're kind and we're caring and that we take care of one another." He then urges the world to "move forward as one collective, whole unit."

Later in the interview, Routh admits he "wrestles" every day with whether humanity is good or evil, then bemoans the fact that people in the U.S. didn't respond to his call for aid to Ukraine "generously" and "unselfishly." American taxpayers probably see things very differently on this matter.

Where things went wrong with Ryan Wesley Routh is still anyone's guess, but his own words portray an unhinged man who embraced the globalist mindset and saw himself as its foot soldier. It's a classic case of the morally deranged leftist who self-identifies as a good person and is anything but that. We've seen it before, from the baseball fields of Alexandria, Virginia, to the fairgrounds of Butler, Pennsylvania.
