Former Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz has frequently expressed concern about the theoretical harm caused by Americans not wearing masks “ignoring the atmosphere.” Lorenz's sympathy seems to have dried up in front of them. Actual harm And a tragedy.
On Wednesday, after a masked man approached and shot and killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, Lorenz posted an apparent justification for killing the father of two on the Liberal-X copycat site Bluesky. did. Despite the huge backlash, Lorenz continued to make more controversial comments. underline In a blog post titled “Why 'We' Want Insurance Executives Dead,” he said it is “normal” to want executives in the health insurance industry dead.
Lorenz, a blogger who has spread a lot of fake news, identified ribs on Tiktok in 2022, and called President Joe Biden a war criminal for supporting Israel's war against Hamas terrorists, posted his comments on Monday. doubled. tell Piers Morgan, of Piers Morgan Uncensored, said he “joined many other Americans in rejoicing” upon hearing the news of Thompson's murder.
“Are you happy? Seriously?” Morgan said. “Do you enjoy the execution of a man?”
“It feels like justice in this system.”
Lorenz suggested that if not joy, the emotion is “certainly not empathy.”
“We're looking at the footage. How can you be happy about this? This is a husband. This is a father,” Morgan said. “And he got shot in the middle of Manhattan.”
Mr. Lorenz tried to justify his schadenfreude by accusing the deceased of committing mass murder, and said that tens of thousands of Americans “have been denied access to health care by greedy health insurance executives like this one.” “He died because he promoted a policy that denied him,” he said, spreading slander.
“So should we kill them all?” Morgan answered, taking his guest's argument to heart. “Would you be happier if I did that?”
Lorenz said with a laugh that he would not be happier if he killed all the health insurance executives. But the blogger suggested that the execution of the unarmed cadre was beneficial, saying, “It's a good thing that this murder… has made the country's media elite and politicians pay attention to this issue for the first time.” said. . ”
Towards the end of the corner, Lorenz interrupted to reveal that he was not rejoicing in the carnage, but was “celebrating” it.
“I take that back. 'Fun' is the wrong word, Piers,” Lorenz said. “It's a vindication and a celebration, because in this system, it's hard for someone responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans to meet the same fate as the tens of thousands of Americans he murdered. Because it feels like justice.”
“You don't necessarily have to keep shooting people in the street.”
Conservative commentator Tomi Lahren, another guest on the show, said, “Just because you don't agree with the position at the company, you don't agree with the company, you don't agree with the health care system, you should celebrate the murder of a husband and father.'' ” he suggested. The care we receive in America is, frankly, sick, twisted, and disgusting. ”
“This also shows that the left and many on the left tend to believe that this kind of violence, political violence, is necessary and is a means to an end,” Lahren continued.
A September poll conducted by Scott Rasmussen's RMG Research for Neapolitan News Service highlighted political ferocity on the left.
The survey asked, “It's always difficult to wish bad things on others, but would America have been better off if Donald Trump had been killed last weekend?” A whopping 28% of Democrats said yes, compared to 69% of respondents who said no.
While Lahren spoke, Lorenz appeared to be giggling, prompting a response from Morgan: “Taylor, I don't mean to be rude, but why are you always laughing? I don't understand. I’m sorry, I’m sorry.’ My words don’t make sense, but I honestly can’t believe it. ”
A left-wing blogger suggested that he found Lahren's persona interesting, saying, “I agree that we don't necessarily have to keep shooting people in the streets.”
