‘What Did That Accomplish?’: Charlamagne Tha God Blasts People Celebrating Luigi Mangione

Popular radio host Charlamagne Tha God weighed in on the recent murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson — and the lack of sympathy that followed from a number of his critics — and said that he couldn’t wrap his brain around the people who were celebrating Thompson’s death.

Charlemagne noted that whatever problems there are in the health insurance industry in the United States, very little was likely to be done to fix them because of this one brutal execution-style murder — and that in addition to the people suffering because of those problems, Thompson’s family would now also suffer as his children were raised without a father.

Charlamagne discussed the topic on Friday’s episode of “The Breakfast Club,” and he reached a simple conclusion: “It’s just weird to what where we are the people.”

“All I see is a father walking in New York City to go his job,” Charlamagne said. “He got gunned down.”

“I don’t understand why people are celebrating him being killed because at the end of the day, like I said yesterday, he’s dead. His kids don’t got no father,” he continued. “That 26-year-old Luigi or whatever his name is, he gonna be in jail for the rest of his life. And the healthcare system is still the same today. The health companies still denying claims and everything today. So what did that accomplish, and why are you happy about him being gunned down like that?”

Former Washington Post tech reporter Taylor Lorenz was among those effectively celebrating the broad-daylight assassination, shocking host Piers Morgan when she said on his show that she had actually felt “joy” upon learning of Thompson’s demise.

“I do believe in the sanctity of life, and I think that’s why I felt, along with so many other Americans, joy, unfortunately, you know because —” Lorenz said.

“Joy?” Morgan interrupted at the time, his voice incredulous. “Seriously? Joy at a man’s execution?”

“— it feels like … maybe not joy, but certainly not — certainly not empathy,” Lorenz continued. “Because again, this is a man responsible —”

Lorenz went on to justify her response by claiming that Thompson was responsible for the deaths of “tens of thousands of Americans — innocent Americans — who died because greedy health insurance executives like this one push policies of denying care to the most vulnerable people.”
