JD Vance is using Ryan Wesley Routh, the man that attempted to kill Trump this week, as a political weapon against Harris and he is doing it in a fallacious way.
What do I mean by using the word "fallacious"? He is cherry picking information and making it public in a way to sway voters into thinking that this assassination attempt was supported by the left.
JD Vance started out his "fallacious" statement by saying this:
and then he followed this up with a comment on X (Twitter):
How do you think the Democrats and their media allies would respond if a 19-time Republican donor tried to kill a Democratic official? It's a question that answers itself. For years, Kamala Harris's campaign surrogates have said things like "Trump has to be eliminated." And how have their media allies responded to the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump in as many months?
With this comment, he is saying that Routh was a Democrat, given that he donated to the Democratic party on 19 different occasions (which is true, Routh did that to the tune of $140).
Nonetheless, this is totally cherry picking information given that in the past it seems that Routh voted for Trump in 2016 (not clear but enough information has been found that seems to suggest that he did.
Here is an article from FOX8 (a subsidiary of FOX News) that gives you the whole story. In this article, it is clearly stated and believed that Routh was simply mentally ill and that he has had these tendencies to violence (and not necessarily political violence) from an early age:
Here is the article:
Bottom line is that the probabilities strongly favor Routh being mentally sick. Nonetheless, JD Vance has used this event as ammunition against the Democrats and he has done it in a fallacious way.
Unfortunately, this seems to be the way the Republicans approach politics.............by swaying people to their side using lies, misinformation, fake truths, and in a scamming way.
