Robert Card's Social Media Activity Before Shooting
Support for Trump, among other politicians
As shown by the video, Card liked tweets from high-profile conservative figures such as Donald Trump Jnr., Tucker Carlson, Dinesh D'Souza. He also engaged with publications from former house speakers Kevin McCarthy and Jim Jordan, as per the video.
The most eye-catching tweet interaction of them all was one involving mass shooters published by Trump jr. "Given the incredible rise of trans/non-binary mass shooters in the last few years... by far the largest group committing as a percentage of population... maybe, rather than talking about guns we should be talking about lunatics pushing their gender affirming bullsh*t on our kids?" it read.
That wasn't the only time his expressed views against the trans community. "The trans movement, it turns out, is the mirror image of Christianity, and therefore its natural enemy. People who believe they're God can't stand to be reminded that they're not" read Tucker Carlson's tweet from March this year which he also liked.

Stance on firearm use
Via a tweet from Dinesh D'Souza, Card also expressed his support for gun use. "Ban assault weapons? Well, cars kill more people than guns do. But we blame the drivers. We don't ban large or fast cars. We understand that cars, like guns, don't act by themselves. The blame lies with the people who operate these mechanical devices. Common sense 101."
Some users on social media have suggested that the views expressed on the platform may have been an indication that he may act, especially taking into account the fact authorities were aware he was mentally unstable.
