Students For Trump Founder Arrested For Allegedly Hitting Girlfriend With Gun

According to reports, one of the founders of the right wing group "Students for Trump" was arrested last week after he allegedly hit his girlfriend in the head with his pistol. Ryan Fournier was charged with two misdemeanor counts and will be appearing in front of a judge in early December. Fournier isn't the first founder of Students for Trump to be arrested, as the other co-founder was arrested several years ago for allegedly impersonating an attorney to bilk clients out of money. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

According to reports out on Wednesday, Ryan Forer, the co-founder of the right-Wing group, students for Trump, was allegedly arrested in November, on November 21st to be exact for allegedly hitting his girlfriend in the face with the butt of a handgun. So according to this report here, November 21st, according to a magistrate's order, a man by the name of Ryan Forer in South Carolina, uh, was accused of grabbing his girlfriend's arm and striking her in the forehead with a nine millimeter sour pistol. According to the court order, the North Carolina resident posted a $2,500 bond, waived his right to a lawyer, and is slated to return to court on December 18th. Now, uh, and, and of course, Fornier is charged with assault with a deadly weapon, an assault of a female. The report also says those are apparently misdemeanors, which kind of, I mean, a misdemeanor for assault with a deadly weapon, an assault of a female, kind of, kind of seems like that ought to be more than just a misdemeanor.

But hey, I don't get to make the laws, I just get to mock them. Now, here's the thing. The man's birth date does in fact match the birth date that Ryan Forer has on social media. Um, but technically as at, at least as of this recording, it is not necessarily been completely confirmed that it is in fact the same. Ryan Forer, who is the co-founder of Students for Trump. So this is all alleged right now. Obviously, guilt will not be determined until and unless there is a trial. Uh, but it is worth noting that the other co-founder of Students for Trump back in 2019, man, by the name of John Lambert, uh, was arrested on charges that he impersonated an attorney to bilk clients for fake services. So, if in fact, this is the correct Ryan Fornier that is the co-founder of Students for Trump, that would mean that both of the people who founded this right wing student organization to boost Donald Trump have now been arrested for some pretty horrific things. Doesn't it make you wonder, right? I know these people are not necessarily working for Donald Trump, but when he says, you know, only the best people, I, I think that does extend to pro-Trump groups, even if he's not a part of them. And th this is what they get. You know, kind of like earlier this week when we found out that one of the Philadelphia leaders of Moms for Liberty happens to be a registered sex offender for assaulting a young teen boy many years ago.

I, is this what Trump attracts? I mean, I think the answer to that is, is yes, these people who do these,

I, I can't even say just bad, like these horrific or grotesque things, they're all attracted to Donald Trump. And I think that gives us a lot of insight as, as to why they continue to support him, even with 91 felony charges against him. Because they can look at this guy and be like, Hey, he got arrested. I got arrested. Hey, we're just alike. Right? Um, that, that shouldn't be how we pick a president to support, right? Or pick a candidate to support that should not be worn as a badge of honor. And if these are the kinds of people that Trump attracts, that should turn off any normal person from wanting to be a part of it. I mean, if we lived in a logical world, which apparently we don't anymore, that's what would happen. All of these, you know, average everyday Trump supporters out there would look around and be like, wow, it's sex offenders. It's, you know, possibly girlfriend beaters and fraudsters, huh?
