Following the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in midtown Manhattan on Wednesday, some far-left journalists and social media users were quick to offer celebratory, mocking or sneering reactions to his shocking death.
Former Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz was among these voices, having shared multiple posts appearing to at least understand the killing while suggesting other health insurance executives should be targeted.

It's disgusting that people are celebrating his murder.
It's disgusting that people were denied and ruined because of a faulty AI system he approved for his company.
Smart people can hold these thoughts simultaneously.
