“The View” co-host Joy Behar said Wednesday that there could be “backlash” against the Republican Party as the Trump Justice Department has ordered prosecutors to seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione, who is accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
“He’s very popular, this guy, there could be a backlash,” she said. “All I’m saying is, politically, it could be a backlash against Republicans to give him the death penalty.” Attorney General Pam Bondi said on Tuesday that Thompson’s murder was “a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America.”
“After careful consideration, I have directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in this case as we carry out President Trump’s agenda to stop violent crime and Make America Safe Again,” the statement continued. Co-host Sunny Hostin suggested that Bondi’s efforts were “an assault on the process.”

Just because he's charged with the death penalty doesn't mean he will get that. I assume their could be a plea bargain. Either that or some diminished capacity.
Much like Musk, health insurance execs are enemies of the people. The left has put a death warrant on capitalists.
Luigi Mangione never even was covered by the company of the man he killed.
All I’m saying is Joy Behar wouldn’t understand a moral principle if it landed on her head.
It would make sense that she would consider this gunman, hit-man, assassin, terrorist as some sort of hero. She needs a brain replacement and soon.
These people really like criminals. I say put them in prison together so they can trade stories on how to out do each other.
Remember the Affluenza kid from a few years ago? Isn’t Luigi Mangione another example of Affluenza?
Oy vey
Force Mangione to sleep with Behar, he’ll pray for death
“Joy Behar ... “He’s very popular, this guy, there could be a backlash”
“Very popular” with whom, Joyless? Crazed lunatics like you, who appear to be trying to incite violence?
I stay as far away from "the left" as I can. I also wouldn't go hiking through a jungle filled with killer chimps. Eventually they'll figure out that their environment is not as nice as it once was.
Huh? Joy Behar needs to begin a thorazine treatment regimen. She already drools for an hour straight.
Killer chimps?
RE: Luigi is very wealthy.
I can’t help but remember the folksinger Phil Ochs 1966 song The Iron Lady (about the death penalty).
Is it still true no rich man has ever died from the death penalty?
In the courtroom, watch the balance of the scales
If the price is right, there’s time for more appeals
The strings are pulled, the switch is stayed
The finest lawyers fees are paid
And a rich man’s never died upon the chair.
Yeah, you don’t want to lose the homicidal maniac vote, for sure.
It’s actually a good question. But I imagine it would be from the same people who already hate Trump because “Free Palestine.”
Joy and Luigi are prison penpals.
