Ryan Routh, the suspect in the second assassination attempt against President Donald Trump in Florida, released a letter from prison with details behind his efforts.
The letter was addressed to the media and accused Trump of destabilizing the Middle East through leaving the Iranian nuclear deal.
“I am unclear how we allowed ourselves to fall into just a two-party system,” Routh wrote, “but it infuriates me. My entire life has been plagued by D’s and R’s. It seems not long ago there was a push for the libertarian party and now a green party and maybe Truth party. But for some reason our leaders have not allowed any other party [to] be recognized in any race.”
We all wonder why we end up with such flawed candidates,” Routh wrote, “when our system is designed to exclude most everyone.”
Routh ended his letter calling for an end to conflict in the Middle East.
“We must demand that Israel stop their attacks and demand that all parties come to the table and find common ground,” he writes. He urged Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken to meet with “the new president of Iran and Hamas, Hezbollah and [the Houthis for] as long as it takes.”
Routh connected himself to Thomas Crooks in his letter, Newsmax reported. Crooks was the suspect killed in July during the Butler assassination attempt on Trump that struck Trump’s ear, killed one man and seriously wounded two others.
Routh claimed in the letter that both men were “ready to die for freedom and democracy.”
The suspect previously penned a letter weeks ahead of his assassination attempt, RSBN reported.
“This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job; and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job,” Routh wrote in the letter, according to the Justice Department on Monday.
“Everyone across the globe from the youngest to the oldest know that Trump is unfit to be anything, much less a U.S. president,” he continued. “U.S. presidents must at bare minimum embody the moral fabric that is America, and be kind, caring and selfless and always stand for humanity. Trump fails to understand any of [that].”
