The Failed Trump Assassin Appeared in a Ukrainian ‘Azov’ Video – Now They’re Trying to Distance Themselves.

The overtly neo-Nazi Azov Brigade has issued a statement denying any links to Ryan Wesley Routh, the suspect in the attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday. However, Azov admits Routh attended one of their events in Ukraine.

The group released a statement on X (formerly Twitter) admitting that Routh appeared in a 2022 video at a protest in support of Azov forces, who were fighting in the city of Mariupol at the time.

“We would like to officially state that Ryan Wesley Routh has no connection to Azov and has never had any connection to Azov. The peaceful demonstration he attended was open and anyone could join it. He was caught on the video filmed by the protesters by accident,” Azov writes.

They add that any suggestion that Routh has a connection to their brigade or the Ukrainian armed forces is “Russian propaganda.”

However, both Routh’s social media and mainstream media reports show he was trying to recruit foreign fighters for the Ukrainian armed forces, mainly focusing on Afghans fleeing the Taliban.

A truck parked outside Routh’s home has been pictured sporting a large Biden-Harris bumper sticker. He has also made at least 19 donations to the Democrats through ActBlue and posed for a picture with major Democratic donor José Andrés.

WATCH: Boris Johnson Is Azov Neo-Nazis’ Biggest Lobbyist, and Biden Is Listening to Him.

Former British prime minister Boris Johnson had a hand in Joe Biden’s decision to lift restrictions on arming Ukraine’s Neo-Nazi Avov Brigade, believes Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse. Speaking to War Room host Stephen K. Bannon,

“The Azov Battalion… has absolute direct links to Neo-Nazism; this is not something that is disputed,” Kassam said of the group, which fights under the wolf’s hook emblem formerly used by Adolf Hitler’s Das Reich Waffen-SS division and was founded by an ultra-nationalist who preaches a “final crusade … against Semite-led Untermenschen [subhumans].”

“This is not something that even they dispute. What they say is that they have undertaken a PR operation to change their image and to try and put a lot of those things in the past,” Kassam explained.

“They’ve not, by the way, said, ‘Oh, and we and we divest of that, and we repudiate all of that…’ They say, ‘We’re trying to soften our image’— and, of course, one of their biggest lobbyists in the world at the moment, as we reported just a couple of weeks ago, is former British prime minister Boris Johnson, a lobbyist for Neo-Nazis,” he continued.

“And it looks like the efforts of his lobbying have been targeted at Joe Biden at the U.S. State Department and beyond, and been successful.”

ROOTS. 

Azov sees themselves as the heirs of Stepan Bandera, a 20th-century Ukrainian nationalist and independence fighter widely revered nationwide.

Modern-day Ukraine did not exist as a state until 1991, being a Soviet Socialist Republic during the Second World War. Part of its current territory belonged to Poland, and Bandera was involved in a series of political murders in that country as he sought independence. Many of his fighters and supporters welcomed and collaborated with the German Nazis when they invaded the Soviet Union in 1941 and embarked on a campaign of genocide against ethnic Poles in what is not western Ukraine.

However, Adolf Hitler planned to colonize Ukraine rather than grant it independence and had Bandera interned. He hid from the Soviets in West Germany until he was assassinated by the KGB in 1959.

FLASHBACK: Nashville Nazis Pledged Support for Biden, Ukraine.

The Neo-Nazi group that marched through downtown Nashville, Tennessee, on Saturday has previously pledged support for President Joe Biden. As reported by The National Pulse, Christopher Pohlhaus — who leads the group called ‘Blood Tribe’ — said in September: “My vote is useless, I think Biden’s better than Trump because he sends rockets to Ukraine.”

About a dozen members of the ‘Blood Tribe’ appear to have participated in the Nashville demonstration, which concluded outside the Tennessee Capitol building. Donning red shirts and black masks, the group waved flags with swastikas as they walked through the city. After counter-protestors arrived, members of the ‘Blood Tribe’ departed the area in a U-Haul. The Nashville police reported no arrests.

Governor Bill Lee (R-TN) condemned the Neo-Nazi demonstration in a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter). “Nazism and antisemitism [sic] should never be tolerated in any form,” the Governor said, adding: “As Jewish people around the world continue to face persecution, Tennessee remains unwavering in our support for the nation of Israel and her people.”

Pohlhaus, a former marine, founded the Maine-based Neo-Nazi group in 2021. Members of the ‘Blood Tribe, including Pohlhaus, have expressed admiration for the Azov Battalion — a Neo-Nazi paramilitary force that was integrated into the National Guard of Ukraine in late 2014.

The Azov Battalion has been credibly accused of engaging in numerous human rights violations and acts of torture in Eastern Ukraine. Last year, Ukraine-born Congresswoman Victoria Spartz (R-IN-5) pushed an amendment to the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, which would allow the Biden government to begin funding the notorious Azov Battalion.

WATCH: Neo-Nazis Declare Support for Biden.

American Neo-Nazis have admitted to supporting President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election as he is in favor of sending ammunition and supplies to the war in Ukraine.

Christopher Pohlhaus, a former marine turned leader of the ‘Blood Tribe’ was asked by a reporter during a Neo-Nazi rally held in Florida over the weekend who he would vote for in the upcoming general election.

“My vote is useless, I think Biden’s better than Trump because he sends rockets to Ukraine,” Pohlhaus responded, before going on to praise the Ukrainian army’s Neo Neo Nazi Azov Battalion. Another group was heard elsewhere announcing their support for the Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, although they eventually retracted the comments later in the day.

Kent McLellan, another Neo-Nazi who attended the rally, was also recorded shouting “Slava Ukraini” and “Slava Azov.”

Investigative reporter Laura Loomer has unearthed evidence that the U.S.-based Neo Nazis have been working with U.S. government agencies, specifically the FBI, and were even present at the Capitol riots on Jan 6th 2021.

The Biden regime has sent over $75 billion in various forms of aid and assistance as of July this year. President Biden demanded another $13 billion earlier this month, as Republican Members of Congress urge the U.S. government to fund the openly Neo-Nazi ‘Azov Battalion’ in the country.

Ukraine-Born Republican Rep. Wants U.S. To Fund Ukrainian Neo-Nazis.

Ukraine-born Congresswoman Victoria Spartz (R-IN-5) is pushing an amendment to the Department of Defense Appropriations Act which would allow the Biden government to begin funding the notorious Azov Battalion, a Neo-Nazi paramilitary organization now fully integrated into the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The Congresswoman was praised by Azov Nazis after visiting with them in May 2022.

A previous ban on U.S. aid to Ukraine being supplied to Azov was reimposed by Congress in 2018, with Congress members describing it as a Neo-Nazi, white supremacist organization. It has remained popular in Ukraine, however, with its prominent role in the defense of Mariupol greatly enhancing its reputation, and once-sharp Western criticism has dulled significantly.

Prior to the outbreak of war, Western media peddled Azov batalion propaganda, though many are now beginning to admit what the unit stands for and its Nazi heritage.

The approval of Rep. Spartz’s proposal to “Strike section 8105 of the bill which prohibits funds to the ‘Azov Battalion'” would mark a point of full rehabilitation for Ukraine’s Nazi forces – whose existence was cited by Vladimir Putin as part-justification for his February 2022 invasion.

Born in Soviet Ukraine in the late 1970s and educated at the Kiev National Economic University, Spartz emigrated to the United States in her twenties and became a U.S. citizen in 2006, becoming a Republican Congresswoman for Indiana in 2021.
