Seems like they remain more concerned about social media. I stumbled across a story this morning about the consequences faced by people in various public positions who posted jokes or positive comments about the shooting:

The MAGA followers fond of saying, “F* your feelings” and other deplorable public statements seems to be making sure they’re the only ones able to do that without fear of repercussions.
