Ex-Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz sparked outrage on Piers Morgan’s show Monday, admitting she felt “joy” over the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was killed outside a New York hotel last week. The suspect, Luigi Mangione, was arrested Monday at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania.
“How could this make you joyful?” Morgan asked. “This guy is a husband, he’s a father, and he’s been gunned down in the middle of Manhattan. Why does that make you joyful?”
“So are the tens of thousands of Americans that he murdered!” Lorenz said. “So are the tens of thousands of Americans, innocent Americans, who died because greedy health insurance executives like this one push a policy of denying care to the most vulnerable people, and I am a part of the many millions of Americans that have watched people that I care about suffer and in some cases die because of lack of healthcare.”
