He's also a political progressive. (I think he once wrote that Athens was his favorite SEC town in part b/c it was progressive.) I would say this his political tweets show that he follows politics pretty closely. I would bet that Matter knows that Mike Lindell (the My Pillow guy) is a Trump supporter and has spoken at CPAC convnetions. That made Lindell fair game for attacks by liberals like Matter. (The man who Matter retweeted has written books entitled Proof of Conspiracy and Proof of Collision and he was also slamming Mike Lindell for speaking at the daily WH virus briefings.)
Matter did the right thing by acknowledging his tweet was in bad taste. He should have gone further though and deleted his tweet. Hopefully, he will rethink that decision.
