As if two assassination attempts on Donald Trump weren’t enough to shock the country, now comes another disturbing twist involving the family of one of his would-be killers. In the madness of the 2024 election cycle, Trump’s life has been targeted not once but twice.
In one of those attempts, a man named Oran Routh spent hours stalking Trump at one of his golf courses, rifle in hand, lying in wait. Luckily, a sharp-eyed Secret Service agent spotted Routh, opened fire, and prevented what could have been a devastating attack just minutes before Trump would have walked into range.
But if you thought that was the end of the story, you’d be wrong. It turns out the investigation into Routh and his planned assassination attempt on Trump has unearthed something even more disturbing—this time, involving his son. And if you thought Oran Routh had a shady past, his son’s criminal behavior adds a whole new layer to this already jaw-dropping case.
For anyone paying attention, this election cycle has been a nonstop roller coaster of chaos, violence, and media manipulation. Yet, when it comes to coverage of assassination attempts on a former president, the mainstream media barely bats an eye.
Can you imagine if this had happened to Joe Biden? The media would be tripping over themselves to condemn the political environment that supposedly fueled the attacks. But when it’s Trump, the story barely gets a passing mention.
A Long Rap Sheet and No Jail Time
Oran Routh is no stranger to trouble. His rap sheet stretches back years, and you’d think someone with his criminal history would have spent some serious time behind bars. But no, somehow Routh managed to evade jail time, despite his long history of offenses. You have to wonder: if the system had worked as it should, would Trump have been targeted by this guy in the first place? The fact that someone like Routh could be wandering around free, plotting to assassinate a presidential candidate, speaks volumes about the failures of our criminal justice system.
But let’s not forget the key point here—Routh spent hours staking out a spot, waiting for the moment to strike. And this wasn’t just some half-baked plan. The man was there for 12 hours, armed with a rifle, just waiting for Trump to walk into his crosshairs. It’s a miracle the Secret Service acted when they did. Minutes later, and we could be talking about a very different story right now.
The man’s criminal intent was clear, and his past should have kept him far from the opportunity to ever carry out such a plot. And yet, here we are. But just when we thought the investigation had wrapped up with Routh’s arrest, a new chapter unfolded—this time, involving his son.
The Disturbing Twist: Oran Routh’s Son Arrested
As investigators dug deeper into Routh’s life, they came across a bombshell they probably weren’t expecting. During a search of Routh’s home, the FBI seized electronic devices that turned out to hold evidence of another shocking crime—this one involving his son, Oran Alexander Routh.
From Fox News:
Authorities seized multiple electronic devices from 35-year-old Oran Alexander Routh’s home in Greensboro, North Carolina on Saturday that investigators say contained “hundreds” of files with child exploitation material. The illicit material was discovered during a search conducted “in connection with an investigation unrelated to child exploitation,” according to a criminal complaint.The FBI conducted a search of Oran Routh’s home on Sept. 21 as part of the investigation into his father. Investigators confiscated several electronic devices, including a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 device. After authorities obtained a warrant to search the electronics, investigators discovered child pornography videos on an SD card located in the Samsung device.
And there you have it. While investigators were looking into Oran Routh’s plot to assassinate Trump, they stumbled upon this horrifying discovery involving his son. The man now faces serious charges after investigators found child exploitation material on his devices—hundreds of files, no less. It’s a sickening turn of events that shows this family’s deep-seated criminal behavior goes far beyond an attempted assassination.
Why This Story Matters
This case is just the latest example of how broken our system truly is. How does someone like Oran Routh, with a long history of crime, remain free to plot an assassination attempt on a former president? And how does his son—clearly involved in vile criminal activity—fly under the radar until now? It’s yet another glaring reminder that the so-called justice system is failing to protect Americans from the dangerous individuals roaming freely among us.
And where are the Democrats in all of this? Where’s Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, or Joe Biden when a former president’s life is at risk? When it comes to Trump, the left either stays silent or actively ignores the threats against him. If they took these assassination attempts seriously, they’d be calling for stronger consequences, not just for political purposes, but because this is about the safety of a presidential candidate and the integrity of our democracy. But, as usual, when it’s Trump, all we hear is crickets from the left.
The attempted assassination of a former president is no small thing, but you wouldn’t know it by the way the media and the Democrats treat it. And now, with Oran Routh’s son involved in his own criminal activity, it’s clear that there’s much more to this story than meets the eye. How deep does this criminality go? And how long has the system failed to protect us from people like the Routh family?
Key Takeaways:
- Oran Routh, who plotted to assassinate Donald Trump, has a long criminal history but never served jail time.
- During the investigation into his assassination plot, authorities uncovered disturbing evidence about his son, Oran Alexander Routh, who now faces serious child exploitation charges.
- The silence from Democrats and the mainstream media on Trump’s assassination attempts continues to show a double standard in how political violence is treated.
