A leftist journalist who has repeatedly advocated for violence is once again doubling down on her support for Luigi Mangione, the man who allegedly assassinated UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson by shooting him in the back.
Taylor Lorenz, who previously worked for the Washington Post and the New York Times as a tech reporter, has already faced prior backlash for declaring that she had felt “joy” upon hearing that Thompson was murdered. When she was called out, Lorenz tried to walk her comments back just a bit, but simultaneously insisted that insurance companies that have delayed or denied coverage were guilty of murder.
At the time, she shocked host Piers Morgan and her fellow guests by stating: “Maybe not joy, but certainly not — certainly not empathy.”
She also has a history of doxxing — including sharing the private information of Chaya Raichik, the person running the popular “Libs of TikTok” account on X — while at the same time fake crying on camera about any form of criticism she receives:
Lorenz’s latest shocking comment came during an April 13 appearance on CNN’s “MisinfoNation” show with host Donie O’Sullivan, where she laughed off criticism of people obsessed with Mangione, claiming that it is because he was a “morally good man.” At the same time, she mocked anyone who dared to be shocked about people calling Mangione a hero.
“To see these millionaire media pundits on TV clutching their pearls about someone stanning a murderer when this is the United States of America,” the leftist journalist began. “Stanning” is a slang term that refers to being an obsessive fan.
“As if we don’t lionize criminals, as if we don’t have, you know, we don’t stan murderers of all sorts, and we can give them Netflix shows,” Lorenz continued. “There’s a huge disconnect between the narratives and the angles that mainstream media pushes and what the American public feels.”
O’Sullivan did not even push back on the leftist journalist’s unhinged comments, instead asking her to elaborate and highlighting the women who have shown up outside of the courthouse during Mangione’s hearings.
“You’re going to see women especially that feel like, Oh my God, right? Like, here’s this man who’s revolutionary, who’s famous, who’s handsome, who is young, who’s smart. He’s a person that seems like this morally good man, which is hard to find,” Lorenz shockingly claimed.
One again, O’Sullivan did not push back, instead joking: “Yeah, I just realized women will literally date an assassin before they swipe right on me. That’s where we’re at.”
“They want someone to tear down these barbaric establishment institutions,” Lorenz later said, referring to the people supporting Mangione.
Social media users were rightfully outraged over Lorenz’s shocking comments, with Daily Wire host Matt Walsh writing: “Psychotic wench Taylor Lorenz gushes over Luigi Mangione, calls him a ‘morally good man,’ and brags that fan-girling a murderer has led to the biggest audience growth she’s ever had. The CNN ‘journalist’ sits and laughs along. Just an utterly depraved display all around.”
“You know who would disagree with the absurd assertion from Taylor Lorenz that Luigi Mangione is a ‘morally good man’? Brian Thompson’s wife and two kids,” wrote Riley Gaines, referring to the murdered CEO.
“CNN is happy to call any opinions they don’t like harmful and dangerous and now they’re doing a interview with Taylor Lorenz who openly fawns over Luigi Mangione and calls him moral,” Outkick writer Ian Miller noted. “Amazing what protection having the right political ideology buys.”
