Son of suspect speaks after apparent Trump assassination attempt in Florida

SUMMARY

Oran Routh, the son of Ryan Wesley Routh, who is accused of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump, was shocked by the allegations against his father. He described his father as 'passionate about Ukraine', where Ryan had traveled to provide "humanitarian" aid to soldiers. Oran stated that his father was not known for violence, stating, “I don’t know what has happened in Florida, and I hope things have just been blown out of proportion.” He added that his father witnessed intense fighting and tried to help where he could, but also mentioned frustration with Trump's stance on Ukraine. Oran concluded, “We still need to stick to the discourse,” despite his dismay over the situation. He remains hopeful that the details of the incident are being misrepresented.
