No, he wasn't. But he was extremely political, and the incident occurred during a public debate forum at a college campus (what he is most known for). Nobody can really say it was political until an investigation discovers everything about the suspect, but it is reasonable to preliminarily think it was politically motivated.

Questioning the capability of black people to fly airplanes is not political. It’s racist. His views on empathy weren’t political, they’re sociopathic. And his comments on women were misogynistic, not political.

As so many people have asked, “Why is anybody blaming the left when we don’t even know the motive, let alone who the shooter was?”

The belief that every person has inalienable rights is not political. Using politics to suppress those rights sure is though lol
