I have known for years that the online Left was losing the moral plot. But if you had told me that one day they would celebrate the slaughter of a man from a humble background in which the suspect is a swaggering rich kid, even I would have struggled to believe it. This, at root, is what the creepy idolisation of Luigi Mangione represents. Strip away all the TikTok guff about him being a modern-day Robin Hood. Ignore the apologetics of Leftish talking-heads who fantasise that Mangione has stuck it to The Man. For what we’re talking about here is...

Luigi Mangione is officially the “suspect” in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, but he is plainly the culprit, and public discussion has moved on to his motives. Why would a young man possessed of intellectual gifts, friends, family, good looks, a winning personality and, apparently, lots of money, gun down a man he had never met? This isn’t the kind of question my organization, the National Association of Scholars, normally takes up. We concern ourselves more with academic standards and questions of state and federal policy. But I’ve been nudged several times with questions about Luigi’s academic background....

Why do they always look like this?There is an answer, of course: because radical, revolutionary politics, which promises to bring down society's winners and replace them with society's losers, are naturally favored by society's losers.#SorryNotSorry but that's the truth. Marxism is a politics for the ugly, unwanted, uneducated, unhealthy, and insane.

Luigi Mangione has been charged with murder as an act of terrorism for the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Even before we knew the targeted killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangione was politically motivated, many leftists were justifying, celebrating, and rationalizing the shooting. There’s a real debate going on in some quarters of the progressive Left over whether slaying CEOs is a bad thing. And it’s unsurprising. Of course, if any MAGA professors or journalists were online publicly defending the killing of perceived political enemies, there would be thousands of wringing hands lamenting the menacing rhetoric of conservatism. And rightly so. But the unhinged demonization of the health care insurance industry, the pharmaceutical industry, and Big...

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” said the reaction to the killing of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson showed “people’s anger” about the insurance industry. On MSNBC, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said, “You can only push people so far and then they start to take matters into their own hands.” Warren later stated, “Violence is never the answer. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.”

Michael Moore reacted to the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson by saying he wants to “pour gasoline” on the “anger” people feel toward the health insurance industry. In a Friday Substack post, Moore said that while he condemns “murder” in general, he does not condemn the “anger” people feel “toward the health insurance industry.” In fact, he wants to further fuel that anger. “The anger is 1000% justified. It is long overdue for the media to cover it. It is not new. It has been boiling. And I’m not going to tamp it down or ask people to shut...
