Fox News host Jesse Watters takes a look at suspected would-be assassin Ryan Routh’s background in his opening monologue on “Jesse Watters Primetime.”

The whole thing is strange. And the more we look into this assassin’s history, the stranger it gets. Ryan Routh doesn’t have the typical resume of an assassin.

Routh was described as a “super citizen” in the local paper.
A local police organization named him the Citizen of the Year after he saved a woman from a rapist. He told the paper in town “He punched me. He was a pretty strong fella, kind of short, but strong. When he hit me, I grabbed hold of him. He shook free from me and took off running.”
