(DCWatchdog.com) – In a grave new threat to the Trump administration, Massachusetts man Ryan Michael “Reily” English, armed with Molotov cocktails, has been apprehended near the U.S. Capitol plotting the assassination of Cabinet members.
See the tweet below!
Ryan Michael “Reily” English was arrested near the U.S. Capitol for possessing a folding knife and two Molotov cocktails, concocted from Absolut vodka bottles with cloths attached to form makeshift explosives.
English intended to target Trump Cabinet members, namely Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson.
His plan, fueled by information from Reddit, shifted focus to Bessent, who was undergoing confirmation proceedings the day of the arrest.
English approached a US Capitol Police Officer, shockingly voicing his intention to turn himself in, along with possessing a detailed plan for violence., The Boston Globe reports.
Officers discovered a folding knife, a lighter, and more unnerving, two bottles with cloth to act as Molotov cocktails.
A further search unveiled a sweatshirt with modified sleeves and an atlas, indicating deliberate avoidance of electronic surveillance on his route from Massachusetts to D.C.
While English claimed these devices were intended to “kill Scott Bessent,” authorities suspect he harbored broader, more dangerous ambitions, potentially eyeing the Heritage Foundation.
English allegedly planned to throw a Molotov cocktail and even considered provoking a police response that would end in “suicide by cop.”
Such drastic measures highlight the troubled mindset of individuals willing to risk and lose everything based on political beliefs.
Ryan English admitted the plots aimed to “send a message” and attempt to “depose” those he deemed threats, CBS News reports.
His violent intentions bring into sharp relief the heightened dangers confronting those serving in public office today.
Charged with weapons possession and carrying explosive devices on Capitol grounds, English currently awaits legal proceedings, held without bond pending a hearing.
The incident echoes past threats against President Trump and his administration, illustrating a pattern of violence teetering on the brink of reality.
The lack of immediate comments from English’s public defender suggests the emerging complexities his defense may face against overwhelming evidence of premeditated violence.
The apprehension of English serves as a grim reminder of the ongoing attacks on American values and principles, posing questions on how such threats are effectively neutralized.
English left behind an apologetic note, underscoring a tragic understanding of his fate while attempting to justify his violent intents.
The lack of clarity regarding his legal representation further muddles an already concerning situation.
