CNN asked independent liberal journalist Taylor Lorenz about Luigi Mangione and why so many people, especially young women, adore him. Mangione, age 26, shot UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan on December 4, 2024. After the shooting, a nationwide manhunt ensued. Mangione was eventually found at a fast food restaurant in Pennsylvania. The reasoning behind Mangione taking Thompson’s life was over anger toward the healthcare industry. There were reports of UHG denying claims that some thing was unjust and/or unfair.
CNN journalist Donnie O’Sullivan said that the motivation behind all of the support for Mangione is similar to the reason why so many people support Trump, and Taylor Lorenz agreed. This, of course, is a controversial stance to take. Some will see it as a stretch, because Trump did not commit a crime to get the support he has. Others see it as the same or similar because both men speak to unheard people in the United States.
