Would-Be Kavanaugh Assassin Was Motivated by Gun Control

An armed California man was arrested not far from the home of Justice Brett Kavanaugh after travelling to Maryland in an attempt to assassinate the judge. Nicholas Roske, 26, told investigators that he was motivated by Kavanaugh’s pro-gun stances and was angered by the Uvalde shooting.

Roske was arrested by the Montgomery County Police Department at 1:50 a.m. after travelling from California. Roske, dressed in all black, reportedly approached Kavanaugh’s home while carrying a briefcase but was spotted by two U.S. Marshals on approach.

After leaving the area, the would-be assassin called 911 and said he wanted to kill Kavanaugh. He was then arrested shortly after turning himself in.
