(TheLastPatriotNews.com) – In a shocking incident that underscores the ever-present threats against Trump administration officials, an assassination attempt has been thwarted as Massachusetts resident Ryan Michael “Reily” English has been arrested near the U.S. Capitol.

Carrying knives and Molotov cocktails, English plotted to assassinate key Trump cabinet members, including the new Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
This revelation raises serious concerns about the political division and its impact on national security.
According to reports, English harbored intentions to kill several senior Trump officials, among them Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson.
Documents reveal English referred to Hegseth as a “Nazi” and planned to use makeshift weapons to execute his plan.
It seems he was ready to risk his life by engaging in what he called a “suicide by cop” if necessary.
English approached a U.S. Capitol Police officer, expressing his wish to surrender.
In his own words, “I’d like to turn myself in,” revealing a conflicted mind seemingly caught in the maelstrom of his misguided convictions.
Authorities soon discovered disturbing items in his possession: a folding knife, a lighter, and two Molotov cocktails crafted from Absolut vodka bottles, The Boston Globe reports.
Further investigation led to a search of English’s vehicle, where authorities found additional dangerous materials, including a bottle of Smirnoff vodka and a sweatshirt with cut-off sleeves.
English’s intentions were not only directed at individuals but possibly at institutions like the Heritage Foundation, which he may have sought to burn.
As the details unfold, it becomes clear that English had read posts on Reddit that fomented his already growing paranoia and anger, which ultimately redirected his focus to Scott Bessent.
This case is a stark reminder of how severely polarized political climates can drive individuals to commit drastic actions in the name of misconceived beliefs and perceived injustices.
English, who traveled from Massachusetts leaving his phone behind to avoid surveillance, used an atlas for navigation.
He surveilled the Capitol with the intent to inflict maximum harm and “depose” political offices as part of his deranged mission, according to an affidavit.
These troubling details emphasize the need for our law enforcement and intelligence communities to remain vigilant.
However, it also compels us to ponder the media environment that might contribute to such unhinged actions.
It’s a clear call to safeguard not only our elected officials but also the democratic process they represent against threats from within our own borders.
As English faces charges of weapons possession and carrying explosives on Capitol grounds, many will look to this incident as yet another warning sign.
