The Truth Behind Viral Claims About Ryan Routh and BlackRock
Recently, viral posts have been circulating on social media claiming that Ryan Routh, who was involved in an apparent assassination attempt on Donald Trump, appeared in a commercial for BlackRock. However, upon further investigation, it has been confirmed that this information is false.
Ryan Routh was not in a BlackRock advertisement, as claimed in the viral posts. In fact, a spokesperson for BlackRock has confirmed that Routh has never been an employee of the investment firm nor has he appeared in any BlackRock ads. The videos circulating online actually show Routh at a 2022 rally in Ukraine, not in a commercial for BlackRock.
The Event in Question
After the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, some individuals falsely connected Routh to BlackRock based on misleading information. However, it has been verified that Routh’s presence in the viral videos is unrelated to the investment firm.
Clarifying the Misinformation
Using video forensics tools and reverse image searches, it was determined that the video showing Routh was actually from a rally in support of the Mariupol garrison in Kyiv, Ukraine. Routh can be seen in the video wearing distinctive clothing and participating in the demonstration.
Routh’s involvement in the rally was purely coincidental, and he has no connection to BlackRock or any advertisements for the company. The spread of misinformation suggesting otherwise has been debunked.
BlackRock and Conspiracy Theories
It’s important to note that BlackRock has been the target of previous conspiracy theories online, including false claims about the company’s involvement in various events. Understanding the truth behind such claims is crucial to avoid spreading misinformation.
Ultimately, it has been confirmed that Ryan Routh was not in a BlackRock advertisement, and the viral posts linking him to the investment firm are inaccurate. It’s essential to verify information before sharing it to prevent the spread of false narratives.
