AOC and other progressives criticize violence but justify the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO.

Some prominent progressive leaders have condemned the murder of UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson while also expressing their concerns about the U.S. healthcare system.

On Monday, Luigi Mangione was arrested and charged with the murder of Thompson, which took place outside a hotel in Manhattan last week. Some far-left figures view Mangione as a hero for his actions against health insurance companies like UnitedHealthcare, which they believe denied coverage or charged high premiums to Thompson.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., criticized the recent murder but also used it as an opportunity to give a "warning."

"If people are pushed too far, they may lose faith in their government's ability to bring about change and take matters into their own hands, which could ultimately be detrimental to everyone."

Warren made similar comments to MSNBC host Joy Reid about Thompson's murder.

"Reid stated that people have good reasons to be angry about the health care system, which includes denying care and the whole system being ineffective. However, he believes that killing a CEO is not the solution, and instead, regulation is necessary."

"We'll repeat it multiple times," Warren stated. "Violence is never the solution. This individual is being tried for allegedly murdering the CEO of UnitedHealth[care], but people have limits, and when they reach them, they take charge of their own circumstances."

Warren later walked back her comments to Planet Chronicle Digital.

""Murder is never justified," she clarified."

Piers Morgan and left-wing journalist Taylor Lorenz had a disagreement over her perceived support for Mangione during an episode of "Piers Morgan Uncensored" on Monday evening. Lorenz confessed to feeling "joy" over Thompson's death during the program.

Lorenz responded to Morgan's shock by arguing that Thompson, like the tens of thousands of Americans he killed, was also a husband and father. She added that many innocent Americans had died due to the actions of greedy health insurance executives who denied care to the most vulnerable people.

She later stated that she never experienced joy over the man's death but rather because more people are focusing on the systemic issues in American healthcare.

"Sunny Hostin of "The View" read out comments on social media last week mocking Thompson's death, stating that the celebration from some Americans reflects their feelings about healthcare. At one point, she exclaimed, "Isn't that something?""

"Our country lacks universal health care, and we fail to provide adequate care for our elderly, resulting in a growing sense of frustration among the population," Hostin stated. "This issue is frequently discussed, and people are becoming increasingly angry with the healthcare system, which is ultimately affecting families."

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., has stated that while the murder of Thompson was not justified, people see health insurance denials as an act of aggression.

She stated that while an act of violence is never justified, those who are perplexed, taken aback, or horrified must comprehend that denying claims is perceived as a violent act against them.
