Recently exposed data about a man named Ryan Routh—who intended to target former President Trump on a sunny Sunday while he was golfing at his luxurious golf property in West Palm Beach—reveals that he has notably been a Democratic party supporter and contributed financial aid to several party candidates, as detailed by reports from the New York Post.
Significant disturbance erupted at President Trump’s golfing haven in West Palm Beach on this fateful Sunday. The former President was enjoying his usual hobby of golf at his property’s 5th hole, in the company of real estate magnate Steve Witkoff, when the tranquility was shattered by the sound of gunfire.
In the ensuing confusion, it was not immediately apparent whether the gunfire that punctuated the peaceful ambiance of the golf course originated from Routh himself or from the responsive shots fired by the Secret Service agents tasked with ensuring the safety of the former President. The question at hand was whether Routh had managed to fire his scoped AK-47 before the Secret Service agents returned fire at him.
Routh’s meticulously planned subversive campaign did not stop at an attempt on the former President. His plans included an operation to illicitly bankroll and transport enthusiasts for an unspecified cause, originating in Pakistan and Iran. These recruits were to be smuggled utilizing counterfeit Pakistani passports.
During the busy Democratic primary period from September 2019 to March 2020, Routh followed through with his commitment to the Democratic cause, supporting the party financially with numerous minor contributions. These donations ranged modestly from $1 to $25, 19 times over the half-year period. His support for the Democratic cause resulted in more than $140 in donations over this time frame.
Routh, a Hawaii native, was clearly committed to his chosen party, the Democrats, being a frequent patron on the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue. His persistent and exclusive finanical contributions to the party were noted 19 separate times since 2019, as evidenced by official records.
These substantial offerings funded by Routh, amounted to more than $140 during the period from September 2019 to March 2020. He chose to channel these donations through ActBlue, the Democratic party’s key fundraising platform, as per the files of the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
These FEC filings provide a detailed profile of Routh, offering a glimpse at his personal life. The data places him in the vicinity of Kaaawa, a picturesque town on the Windward Coast of Oahu, Hawaii, during the time he made these contributions.
These official documents from the FEC interestingly note that Routh didn’t hold any job when donating. He was stated as ‘not employed’ while he was making these political donations, which strengthens the perception of his deep commitment to the party and his chosen candidates.
The funds, despite flowing through the platform ActBlue, were tagged specifically for various individuals who were putting forward their campaigns in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary. This demonstrates Routh’s thoughtful engagement in the political process, even while preparing for his dark plans.
Among the recipients of Routh’s financial support was former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, one of the more prominent figures among the 2020 Democratic presidential primary contenders. It appears Routh was particularly engaged with O’Rourke’s stances and perhaps saw an alignment of interests.
Another notable personality who apparently appealed to Routh was Andrew Yang. The New Yorker, whose innovative policies gained much attention during the primary race, also benefited from Routh’s pattern of giving.
Further FEC filings show that Ryan Routh also backed the presidential campaign of Tom Steyer, another New York native. Steyer, known for his business acumen and philanthropy, was among those who managed to catch Routh’s interest during the Democratic primary.
From the same records, it becomes evident that Massachusetts Senator, Elizabeth Warren, too, found a patron in Routh. The hard-hitting senator’s dynamic campaign evidently made an impression on Routh during the Democratic primary race.
In summation, Ryan Routh’s involvements indicate a complex picture of a committed Democratic party supporter, who, despite his heinous plans, was deeply involved in his party’s political process and actively supported several candidates during the 2020 Democratic presidential primary.
