Eric Trump stated on Monday that it is important for individuals to “consider” the possibility that the second assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump was a “inside job” during an interview with Sirius XM’s Megyn Kelly.
The apprehension of 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, who is accused of attempting to assassinate the former president at the Trump International Golf Course West Palm Beach in Florida, was confirmed by federal and local officials on Sunday.
After Kelly inquired about the possibility that the attack was an inside job, Eric Trump advised viewers to “entertain everything” during a recent episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show.”
“Everybody had better entertain it. Everybody had better entertain everything, right? I never thought I’d say this again. I’m not that tinfoil hat guy, I’m actually a very sane human being and I think there’s a lot of conspiracy theories out there that are absolutely insane. You better believe after, you know, twice in five weeks, you better start entertaining all of those scenarios, because something is very, very wrong, and it could have been very, very different,” Eric Trump remarked.
“The guy literally brought a rifle across — Megyn, if you look at that, right? You’ve got a massive street that’s wide open. You’ve got probably 20 yards of beautiful, perfectly manicured grass. Then you get to a row of beautiful palm trees, right? Royal Palm trees. Then you have about another 20 yards of grass, and then you’ve got a big hedge line. Inside the hedge line, you have a chain link fence, right? On the other side of that. He literally got across all of that holding a long gun and no one saw this? There weren’t eyes on the street? It’s not like he’s creeping through a bunch of woods to try and get in a concealed spot in total camouflage.” he continued.
The son of the former president continued to inquire as to how Routh was able to traverse a highway with an AK-47 without being observed by anyone.
“I mean, he literally went across a massive highway in the middle of the day with a long gun. Something you can’t just throw in a backpack, right? Slither[ing] his way into the bushes adjacent to a golf hole that my father happened to be on at that time. Yeah, you better entertain those possibilities, because that’s seriously bad. I mean, the guy from looking at him looks like a total nut job. Obviously, he’s crazy — you see that picture,” he added.
“But what happens if he wasn’t? What happens if that guy was well camoed? What happens if that agent just didn’t happen to be there at the right time? What happens if that guy killed that agent, and then used his scope rifle to take somebody out from not a far distance? We better really start locking down this perimeter, because something is awfully wrong. As I said three times in this interview now, they are trying to get him. When I said it six months ago, I believed in my heart that they would stop at nothing, but now the world knows they are trying to get him.” Eric Trump concluded.
