Their own twisted, disgusting comments reveal their utter moral depravity and prove their unfitness to serve in the US Senate or House of Representatives.

They should all be impeached.


Luigi Mangione’s Senate Explainers

Warren and Sanders tell us why killing CEOs is understandable.

If you think sympathy for the devil in Luigi Mangione is confined to the fever swamps of Reddit, consider comments by Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Asked Tuesday about those celebrating the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, the Massachusetts Democrat called it a “warning.”

Did she mean a warning not to shoot someone? Not quite.

“The visceral response from people across this country who feel cheated, ripped off, and threatened by the vile practices of their insurance companies should be a warning to everyone in the healthcare system,” she said, as quoted by HuffPost. “Violence is never the answer, but people can be pushed only so far. This is a warning that if you push people hard enough, they... start to take matters into their own hands in ways that will ultimately be a threat to everyone.”

Translation: Violence may be wrong, but it’s explainable by the U.S. healthcare system. And copycats may be coming for the same reason. Oh, and how about passing Medicare for All?

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders also used Thompson’s murder to opine that the “anger at the healthcare industry tells us is that... you cannot have people in the insurance industry rejecting needed healthcare for people while they make billions of dollars in profit.”

As an explanation of Mr. Mangione’s alleged act, this is factually wrong and morally benighted. We don’t know if Mr. Mangione was denied care or even what his specific healthcare complaint was, apart from a general loathing for the system. Perhaps he blames health providers for his back pain, but that isn’t an explanation for murder.

Murder can’t be rationalized, and a society does so at its peril. This is why a healthy society establishes laws and guardrails against killing the innocent that should never be crossed. Shooting a healthcare executive in the back is not a “warning” of anything other than the illness or evil of one young man.

And sympathy for it is a sign of the degraded state of our culture and politics.

The right response to the healthcare assassination came from John Fetterman, the Pennsylvania Democrat, in the same HuffPost story. He criticized what he called “vile” social media posts for celebrating an “asshole that’s going to die in prison.”

“If you gun someone down that you don’t happen to agree with their views or the business that they’re in, hey, you know, I’m next, they’re next,” Mr. Fetterman added. “And people want to celebrate it. It’s twisted.” It certainly is.

You may not like to hear it but having wall street investors be in the middle of your healthcare system is bad for the people it’s supposed to care for.

Saying so is what our elected representatives should be doing.

Labeling their comments as disgusting, accusing them of moral depravity, is nothing more than shilling for a broken healthcare and insurance industry that all to often leads to less than optimal outcomes and bankruptcy for those who are unable to pay for the billions in profits, perks and bonuses that pervade the system.

This is a case of people not liking or understanding what people are actually saying. No one mentioned above cheered or wanted this to happen.

HOW is Jacuzzme's crude statement "Threatening"??

How’s that threatening? Clearly it’s vulgar, although far less than her thinly veiled threats against people working in the insurance industry, but not threatening. Telling someone what they -can- do to -themselves- isn’t a threat.

The first is an explanation of why people are angry, the second is an actual outburst of anger.

The fact that people can’t see that is nothing more than a bias to see liberal views as threats. Not that they are actual threats.

This thread is NOT about the healthcare industry. It's about Liz Warren's moral equivocating and justifying the murder of a Minnesota father of two. That's what makes her unfit for office and that's why she and the other morally depraved leftists like Bernie and AOC should be impeached.

Description of anger versus an angry outburst mixed with racism and violent suggestion.

Cunt isn't a particularly nice word but I use it occasionally, along with its inevitable variations. Your compadres use it virtually every time they describe a female elected official.
