MSM Lies About Suspect’s Ideology & Motive, Starts to Bury the Story

Ryan Wesley Routh, the suspected would-be assassin of former President Donald Trump over the weekend, has been confirmed as a registered member of the Democratic Party, according to reports seen by Newsweek.

The media claims or suggests the suspect was Republican or had an unclear political ideology, and his motives are unclear.

The AP writes:

The FBI was leading the investigation and was working to determine a motive. Federal agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were helping investigate.

NBC News wrote:

Routh said in 2020 he had backed candidate Trump in the past, but expressed his disappointment with the Trump presidency.

He tweeted at Trump on June 10 of that year: “While you were my choice in 2106, I and the world hoped that president Trump would be different and better than the candidate, but we all were greatly disappointment and it seems you are getting worse and devolving … I will be glad when you gone.”

CNN:
In June 2020, Routh appeared to say that he had voted for Trump in 2016, but that he had since withdrawn his support of the former president: “While you were my choice in 2106, I and the world hoped that president Trump would be different and better than the candidate, but we all were greatly disappointment and it seems you are getting worse and devolving,” he wrote. “I will be glad when you gone.”

Time: The suspect has unclear ideology:

There were community notes attached to the Time claim. They’ve just taken to outright lying now:

The suspect’s political ideology is not unclear. His car had a Biden-Harris Bumper sticker and he referred to Trump as a threat to democracy. https://www.news18.com/amp/world/suspect-held-in-trump-assassination-bid-in-florida-had-biden-harris-bumper-sticker-on-his-truck-report-9052800.html

I guess they didn’t look at Ryan Routh’s X posts:

THEY ARE BURYING THE STORY

The media also buries it with nonsense:

The story about the second assassination attempt by another Democrat is disappearing already:
