Following an apparent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, focus quickly turned to the suspect’s iden
Ryan Wesley Routh held accounts on X and Facebook before the apparent assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump on Sept. 15 in Florida. but he did not describe himself on those platforms as identifying as LGBTQ +.
Authorities arrested Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, soon after the Sept. 15 incident, saying they found evidence he pointed a rifle through the tree line outside of Trump’s West Palm Beach, Florida, golf course, where Trump was golfing with a friend.an image of an Instagram account they said belongs to Routh. It included Routh’s image along with the username @ryan_wesleyrouth."Proud dad," the bio said."Proud LGBTQ+ member. Proud Dem.
Meta did not respond to our question about whether the account was Routh’s. But there are signs that he didn’t author the descriptors in his bio. The biggest one: We found no other statements in his confirmed public social media presence or in his self-published book that showed he considered himself LGBTQ+.
Although the FBI declined to answer our questions about whether Routh identified himself as LGBTQ+, neither investigators’ public statements nor any news coverage so far have described him as such.
