Democrats Openly Endorsing Cold-Blooded Murder of Businessman

A number of elected Democrats believe that the United Healthcare CEO had it coming.I blame Americans who voted for these killers.

Would Elizabeth Warren and Alexandra Cortez support murder of politicians who have destroyed America?

AOC and Liz Warren are both normalizing the murder of the CEO. Disgusting behavior. You are a disgrace to America and should be voted out.

Murdering businessmen on a public street in broad daylight evokes the worst days of Red Brigades terror in Italy. But even then, no one in government was coming to their defense.

The irony is Democrats like Elizabeth Warren are deflecting the catastrophic failures of Obamacare onto those forced to institute it.

The left’s reaction to the assassination of a businessman in public is monstrous.

All of the problems in healthcare that they are shrieking about are the terrible consequences of Obamacare. The insurance companies are just acting within the confines of the new socialized healthcare system. But the left wants to make sure that someone else is holding the bag.

Incredible. It was Obamacare that destroyed healthcare. The behemoth insurance industry is the consequence of the left’s socialized healthcare. It was the left that turned over our healthcare system to the insurance companies and subjugated doctor driven care. https://t.co/WQzP7CC6PG

Luigi Mangione’s Senate Explainers

Warren and Sanders tell us why killing CEOs is understandable.

By The Editorial Board, Dec. 11, 2024:

If you think sympathy for the devil in Luigi Mangione is confined to the fever swamps of Reddit, consider comments by Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Asked Tuesday about those celebrating the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, the Massachusetts Democrat called it a “warning.”

Did she mean a warning not to shoot someone? Not quite.

“The visceral response from people across this country who feel cheated, ripped off, and threatened by the vile practices of their insurance companies should be a warning to everyone in the healthcare system,” she said, as quoted by HuffPost. “Violence is never the answer, but people can be pushed only so far. This is a warning that if you push people hard enough, they . . . start to take matters into their own hands in ways that will ultimately be a threat to everyone.”

Translation: Violence may be wrong, but it’s explainable by the U.S. healthcare system. And copycats may be coming for the same reason. Oh, and how about passing Medicare for All?

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders also used Thompson’s murder to opine that the “anger at the healthcare industry tells us is that . . . you cannot have people in the insurance industry rejecting needed healthcare for people while they make billions of dollars in profit.”

As an explanation of Mr. Mangione’s alleged act, this is factually wrong and morally benighted. We don’t know if Mr. Mangione was denied care or even what his specific healthcare complaint was, apart from a general loathing for the system. Perhaps he blames health providers for his back pain, but that isn’t an explanation for murder.

Murder can’t be rationalized, and a society does so at its peril. This is why a healthy society establishes laws and guardrails against killing the innocent that should never be crossed. Shooting a healthcare executive in the back is not a “warning” of anything other than the illness or evil of one young man.

And sympathy for it is a sign of the degraded state of our culture and politics.

The right response to the healthcare assassination came from John Fetterman, the Pennsylvania Democrat, in the same HuffPost story. He criticized what he called “vile” social media posts for celebrating an “a— that’s going to die in prison.”

“If you gun someone down that you don’t happen to agree with their views or the business that they’re in, hey, you know, I’m next, they’re next,” Mr. Fetterman added. “And people want to celebrate it. It’s twisted.” It certainly is.
