Who is Luigi Mangione? He’s the suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on December 4. Thompson was gunned down outside of the New York Hilton Midtown hotel before an investor’s meeting allegedly by Mr. Mangione, who used a suppressed firearm. Mangione was hailed as some populist hero in leftist circles for killing Thompson, with writers like Taylor Lorenz being his most vocal advocate.
The debate about the American healthcare system is intertwined with sub-plots on race, wealth, and access, so it’s not unusual that this is a petri dish for left-wing insanity. Yet, Mangione is no working-class hero. It’s the seat of irony—the kid hails from Baltimore royalty, Ivy-League educated, and went to a private school whose tuition hovers around $40,000.
The Mangiones are prominent in Baltimore — and are particularly known for their philanthropy and work in the healthcare sector.

Lorenz said she felt “joy” when Thompson got murdered. Well, as it turns out, it was done by someone who likely had a higher net worth than the victim. This ‘eat the rich’ narrative that’s been marinating for days just imploded.

I assume that people will try to pivot away once the Mangione financials are disclosed, saying the more considerable debate is about our healthcare system, which is fine. You could’ve had that debate for days—we’ve dealt with it every election cycle. Roping in a CEO murder was totally unnecessary, exposing yet again the Left’s propensity for being too online.

Mangione was arrested after being recognized at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Four fake IDs, including the phony New Jersey driver's license used to check in at the hostel he reportedly stayed in before the murder, were found on his person, including the suppressed firearm like the one used in the crime. Based on initial reports, he also had $8,000 on him, plus $2,000 in foreign currency. Mangione claims those items were planted.
Mangione reportedly underwent back surgery, which some suggest might have been what set him off. We'll keep you posted.
