Senator Elizabeth Warren made some absolutely dreadful comments about UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson who was murdered in cold blood last week.
She made the comments on Joy Reid’s show on MSNBC, naturally, and Joy made no attempt to ask Warren to clarify, instead she just nodded along.
It’s amazing how this turn of events has brought out the absolute worst in some people on the left.
FOX News reports:
Elizabeth Warren says killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO was a warning: ‘You can only push people so far’
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said in interviews this week that the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was wrong but also served as a “warning” of sorts that “you can only push people so far.”
“We’ll say it over and over,” Warren said on MSNBC. “Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who’s allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth[care], but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands.”
Mangione was arrested Monday after a manhunt and charged with Thompson’s murder, which was committed outside a hotel in Manhattan last week. Mangione has become a folk hero to some far-left figures who feel Thompson’s death is comeuppance for health insurance providers like UnitedHealthcare that deny coverage or charge exorbitant premiums.
Here’s the video:

Warren later tried to walk back her comments in a piece at the HuffPost:
After drawing some criticism for her remarks, Warren clarified her comments in a statement provided to HuffPost on Wednesday.
“Violence is never the answer. Period,” the senator said. “I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.”
Will any Democrats be asked if they agree with Warren’s original comments? Probably not.
