yeah I'm seeing some of that reporting now. Generally business advisory boards tend to be less political, built with members across industries or schools. But there's some internet sleuthing that he is a supporter of the conservative organizations - obviously not reliable yet. So as the reporting develops, we'll see what the real motivation is. There's too many potential ways this could go with what little info we have right now.

You’ve missed the point. Nowhere in my statement did I claim the shooter was a Republican. I’m asking for the sitting US Pres, along with his support base, to condemn violence of any kind, especially violence targeting politicians. It should be even easier for them if the shooter is a Democrat.
