Weissbrot is one of three supporters of Mangione who are referred to online as “Mangionistas."
One of the fangirl “journalists” who has publicly supported Luigi Mangione is reportedly the daughter of a senior healthcare executive at CVS Health.
Lena Weissbrot is the daughter of Reina Natero, a longtime pharmaceutical industry executive who oversees prescription drug insurance coverage rules at CVS Health. Natero has worked in the industry for more than two decades.
Weissbrot is one of three supporters of Mangione who are referred to online as “Mangionistas.” They recently gained attention during Mangione’s pre-trial hearings after receiving New York City press credentials.
Weissbrot has publicly expressed support for Mangione for the alleged murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. On Monday, outside the New York State Supreme Court, Weissbrot said Thompson’s children were “better off without him.”
According to the New York Post, Weissbrot received a Fulbright-MTV fellowship in 2015 after graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Florida State University. The grant allowed her to study “South African artists identifying as feminists who use Hip-hop music as a form of activism” at Rhodes University in South Africa.
"This has become an archetype at this point, when activists become defined as the ‘anti’ of what their parents were,” Stu Smith, analyst at the Manhattan Institute, told The Post. “There’s no self-awareness.”
Weissbrot also makes music, and a music video she appeared in that was posted on Vimeo last June includes lyrics that say, “The CEO’s a parasite and now they getting shot up.”
“While I’m looking cuter, you be looking deader, the kind of hit that makes you wish for universal healthcare,” she sang.
She has also called for “copycats” of Mangione to “put billionaires in body bags,” though she included a disclaimer stating that she doesn’t “promote, condone or endorse violence.”
According to The Post, Weissbrot denied that Reina Natero was her mother, avoiding questions about their relationship and saying her mother was unemployed and they were “rather estranged.” The next day, Natero edited her LinkedIn profile and removed her last name from it.
Public records list Natero as Weissbrot’s mother, and they lived at the same address in Weissbrot’s hometown, per The Post.
It is not an alleged murder, it freaking happened! You can’t hate them enough, folks.
You can’t hate them enough, folks.
I hate them with the white hot passion of a thousand burning suns.
I guess that makes her a legit target of leftist terrorists.
When they talk about white privileged person, she should be a very obvious example of it
Daddy issues. Common among AWFLs.
So she lied about her mother being the CVS exec, and she’s a hypocrite as her mother is just like the CEO of UNH (United Healthcare), and if she was consistent, she’d want her own mother dead. When nepo babies go wrong... AKA Hunter Biden.
A spoiled brat rich girl with daddy issues who doesn’t know anything about the world, but by golly, she’s going to rack up a body count with her vagina and show the world!
So is there more to the story than meets the eye? Did Natero get a promotion when Thompson was murdered?
The media always say something that happened is alleged, until or unless someone is convicted of the crime.
I don’t know if there are legal reasons for them doing that.But you see it in the media all the time. Yes, a man is lying there dead.So, we know it happened.But they are compelled to say, it’s an alleged incident.
If someone wrote a novel with that plot line, no publisher would touch it. Too far fetched. You can't make this s*%t up.
Walgreens isn't any better. We go to an independent (Good Neighbor) store.
Really?
