Never Judge A Book By Its Cover


The federal prosecutor now in charge of investigating the man suspected of trying to assassinate Trump is an immigrant to the United States, from Haiti.

Markenzy Lapointe is a U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, and was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. From what I've read so far from Markenzy Lapointe, he came to this country when he was 16 years old with his mother, impoverished.

He graduated from Miami Edison High School in 1987, and then attended Miami Dade College. After graduating from college Lapointe then joined the Marines and served in the first Iraq war in 1990. Graduated from Law School, and served in the US attorney's office before joining a Miami law firm.

Donald Trump numerous times have said this about immigrants specifically from Haiti: "they are poisoning the blood of our country". In my opinion, in this case, Ryan Wesley Routh, the suspected wannabe domestic terrorist, is the man with the poisoned blood in our country. 

It is ironic that while Trump disparages anyone from Haiti, a person from that nation is in charge of investigating the person suspected of his assassination attempt.
