...however I've used Spiro's Ghost as a Twitter source for other things. He's no rando (believe he's been called an Dem influencer in the past). Just posting this because it's Spiro's Ghost posting it. He has a large following to the tune of nearly 300K.

Supposedly with screenshots of him and things he posted about in the past. This whole thing seems very odd to me.

This event is not as clearly cut as the Butler, PA assassination attempt. Lots of randos posting tons of bullshit.

With the caveat that is if this is indeed his Twitter page.

Supported Gabbard and Sanders to a degree in 2020 to stop Trump. Very pro-Ukraine, pro-Taiwan, pro-Hong Kong, anti-authoritarian. Comes off a bit unhinged. Supported Black Lives Matter and federal oversight of local police departments in the wake of George Floyd.

That's if this is his real Twitter page.

Whoever's page that is, if they thought Trump was very pro-Putin, you can easily see how they got from A to B in wanting to take him out.

Ryan Wesley Routh, the alleged shooter in today's incident against Trump, is a 60 year old white man with a history of mental illness. He appears to have voted for Trump in 2016 and his Facebook page has COVID conspiracies on it. He is not an immigrant nor is he Haitian.

But his latest posts sound completely unhinged. He was all over the place supporting Vivek, Nikki Haley, etc.

If I didn't cull my fake Twitter followers on a regular basis, I'd probably have 3,000 followers. And I haven't tweeted anything in over 7 years!

I trust Spiro's Ghost as a source, but, like I said, this event has multiple accounts surrounding it. Not worth propagating it until something more concrete is ascertained from more trusted sources.
