Not only is he a driving force that substantially helped Trump get elected, but he spread COVID misinformation that likely got people killed, helped anti-abortion bills pass (he’s even against abortion in cases of rape), he’s a climate denialist that directly supports expanding fossil fuel expansion at the expense of the planet, and has promoted the great replacement theory, among so many other disgusting things.
He broadcasts this to an audience of millions of people, some of which may take radical actions of their own as a result of his statements. The amount of harm he’s caused for so many innocent people is infinitely larger than the harm just caused to him, or even his wife and kids as a result of this shooting.

I’m going to respectfully disagree with you.
We can debate our points while we dance on his grave.
If you bring the music I’ll bring the snacks.
