[a kennedy]

7. Nope, it's saying he's a Democrat.

[obamanut2012]

10. No, he voted for trump in 2016 and 2020

And likes Tulsi. Anti vaxx loon and Covid truther. Wants to revruit Afghanis to send to Haiti and Taiwan. Has been in Russia as recent as 2022. Wears body armor and American flags.

He is not a Democrat.

[BoRaGard]

12. If he registered as a D then that could well be a cover

because he has magat republicon written all over him

[obamanut2012]

20. He didn't, he is a registered Independent

And wanted Vivek and Haley for the ticket. He is not a Democrat.

[Eko]

33. Was a Bernie supporter in 2020.

[iemanja]

Of a Republican. He talks about holding police accountable for George Floyd.

[newdeal2]

14. If really his (and I would wait for confirmation since it can be easy to spoof)

He sounds very focused on Ukraine.

[soandso]

23. Briefly mentioned in a NYT article

about foreign fighters in Ukraine:

With Legion growth stalling, Ryan Routh, a former construction worker from Greensboro, N.C., is seeking recruits from among Afghan soldiers who fled the Taliban. Mr. Routh, who spent several months in Ukraine last year, said he planned to move them, in some cases illegally, from Pakistan and Iran to Ukraine. He said dozens had expressed interest.

[senseandsensibility]

15. Looks like the most recent tweets are from 2022-3

Don't see any reference to political party.

[newdeal2]

25. This user has multiple replies to POTUS and VP tweets

He/she/it seems anti-Trump. But also delusional - asks for James Franco & Seth Rogan to improve relations with North Korea.

[obamanut2012]

29. He voted for Trump twice

Voted for Vivek in the Primary.

Disinfected Trump voter. Wingnut.

[Self Esteem]

38. Where are you seeing he voted Trump twice?

[obamanut2012]

26. He posted this year wanting Vivek and Haley as rhe ticket

[Cha]

31. Exactly... He's Haley fan and Not a Dem..

Link to tweet

[Attilatheblond]

16. at a very quick skim of his tweets, seems like he has delusions of relevance

with hope of being the next Eirk Prince type mercenary army for hire boss.

Call the mental health responders, stat.

[LeftInTX]

22. Soldier of fortune!!!

[LeftInTX]

19. I'm sure it will be taken down shortly. He sounds nuts!

"I'M WILLING TO GO TO UKRAINE TO FIGHT AND DIE"

Either he's Ukrainian or certified nuts

[Diraven]

39. Trump will use this to blame Ukraine now

Mark my words

[LeftInTX]

42. Sadly, yes.....

[soandso]

45. Wannabe hero

and willing to die!

[iemanja]

47. Very supportive of the Ukraine

And anti Russia. That’s as far as I’ve gotten.

[iemanja]

48. Supports Tulsi and Kim Jung Un.

[Cha]

28. Looks like Ryan Routh is a Nikki Haley fan & that Swarmy guy's..

Link to tweet

[Diraven]

34. He doesn't sound very Iranian

I guess CNN jumped the gun by reporting this was an Iranian plot.

[tavernier]

43. CNN, as usual, mixes up Iranian

with Cranium.

The guy is not from the Middle East.

He’s from Cuckoo Land.

[blogslug]

40. FWIW His LinkedIn page is still up as of 6PM CST

[MontanaMama]

44. The alleged shooter lives in Hawaii?

And flew to FL to kill the Felon? His social media makes him sound like a fart in a skillet...he doesn't even know what he believes.

[soandso]

56. At least he wanted to help

anyone, anywhere, lol.

More mental illness.

[LizBeth]

50. I read Trump 2016, Sanders Stein 2020, Disliked Biden, HRC. Harris. Now Vivek Ramaswamy.

No ideal about the last one but he was EVRYONE else but a Dem.

[obamanut2012]

53. He asked Vivek and Haley to form a ticket

[LizBeth]

55. Thanks. And every Haley fan I know is a Trumper at heart.

[no_hypocrisy]

52. If it were a valid attempted assassination, then one of two things:

1. He wanted to kill Trump as political theater, or

2. He wanted fame vicariously through Trump.
