‘Damn, so close’: UBC looks into professor’s social media after Trump rally shooting
VANCOUVER — The University of British Columbia says it is “aware” of a social media post that was apparently made by a professor at its faculty of medicine shortly after the attempted assassination of former U.S. president Donald Trump.
The school says it is “looking into” the post and that it “does not condone violence of any kind.”
Posts that appeared on a now deleted X account belonging to Professor Karen Pinder said “Damn, so close. Too bad,” and then later, in response to a comment, “What a glorious day this could have been!”
Pinder did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
