In 2020, he [Routh] made a social media post backing Trump’s reelection, but in more recent years his posts have expressed support for Biden and Harris.

Rus invasion of Ukraine began Feb. 24 2022 and he was a big Ukraine supporter so that apparently was the catalyst to become a Biden-Harris supporter and, apparently, his motive to try to take out trumpie today. But. That is what it looks like to me based on available light. He has a lengthy criminal record long before even 2020, including possession of weapons of mass destruction, which in NC include fully automatic weapons. He was convicted in a 3-hour stand-off with police. That conviction manifestly did not disqualify him from voting in subsequent elections. It is a muddled picture in totality but it is clear that in 2024 he was aligned with Democrats and contributed money to us. It appears reasonably clear to me that this was an assassination attempt against trumpie because of trumpie's vehement opposition to Ukraine.
