<p>Former Washington Post and New York Times tech reporter Taylor Lorenz doubled down on her previous comments regarding Luigi Mangione, the man who is charged with the broad-daylight slaying of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.</p>
<p>Lorenz, who was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ex-wapo-reporter-taylor-lorenz-says-united-healthcare-ceos-murder-brought-her-joy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previously blasted</a> for saying that she&#8217;d felt &#8220;joy&#8221; when she heard that Thompson had been gunned down — and then, while attempting to walk that back slightly, simultaneously argued that insurance companies that delayed or denied coverage were guilty of murder. &#8220;Maybe not joy, but certainly not — certainly not empathy,&#8221; she said, shocking show host Piers Morgan and her fellow guests.</p>
<p>Lorenz followed that up with an appearance Sunday on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;MisinfoNation&#8221; with host Donie O&#8217;Sullivan, where she laughed off the people who seem obsessed with Mangione and claimed it was because he seemed to be a &#8220;morally good man&#8221; — and mocked the people who were shocked that anyone would look at an alleged murderer as a hero.</p>

<p>&#8220;To see these millionaire media pundits on TV clutching their pearls about someone stanning a murderer when this is the United States of America. 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,&#8221; Lorenz began. &#8220;There’s a huge disconnect between the narratives and the angles that mainstream media pushes and what the American public feels.&#8221;</p>
<p>O&#8217;Sullivan pressed her to elaborate, mentioning the women who had even showed up outside the courthouse when Mangione was there.</p>
<p>&#8220;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,&#8221; Lorenz claimed.</p>
<p class="qualified qualified-2">Instead of pushing back, O&#8217;Sullivan joked, &#8220;Yeah, I just realized women will literally date an assassin before they swipe right on me. That’s where we’re at.&#8221;</p>
<p>One point of agreement, for both O&#8217;Sullivan and Lorenz, was their belief that the people raving over Mangione and supporters of President Donald Trump were no different.</p>
<p>&#8220;I totally agree. They want somebody to take on this system. They want someone to tear down these barbaric establishment institutions,&#8221; Lorenz explained.</p>
<p>The Daily Wire&#8217;s Matt Walsh was among those who called out both Lorenz and O&#8217;Sullivan, saying, &#8220;Psychotic wench Taylor Lorenz gushes over Luigi Mangione, calls him a &#8216;morally good man,&#8217; and brags that fan-girling a murderer has led to the biggest audience growth she’s ever had. The CNN &#8216;journalist&#8217; sits and laughs along. Just an utterly depraved display all around.&#8221;</p>
