Ex-WaPo reporter doubles down on post wanting health insurance executives dead: 'It's natural to wish'

Liberals in a nutshell...

Taylor Lorenz defended herself on Substack saying that thousands of Americans 'want insurance executives dead'

Former Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz doubled down Thursday on her shocking comments appearing to celebrate the reportedly targeted murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

A chilling video released Wednesday showed Thompson being shot and killed at close range while outside the Hilton Hotel in midtown Manhattan, New York. The suspect is still at large.

Hours after news broke of his death, Lorenz wrote on the social media site Bluesky, "And people wonder why we want these executives dead," alongside a report about Blue Cross Blue Shield no longer covering anesthesia for the full length of some surgeries. 

Lorenz went on to share images of Blue Cross Blue Shield CEO Kim Keck and reposted calls for other health insurance executives to be targeted.

Liberals are insane violent creatures.

If you polled American adults she probably isn't wrong......but people would be better served understanding that not every thought you have needs to be put out in public.

When I heard the news of this tragic shooting, my first thought was "What willTaylor Lorenz have to say on this?"

I thought MAGA had a problem with the elites? Now they’re mad a reporter said what were all thinking about an insurance CEOs.  

[Cdub100 3,864]

Meh it's good to remind these people they can be touched. Politicians are too quick to call for war. These CEOs are too quick to destroy people's lives for a better bottom line. All of them should have been serving the greater good, if not morally than through the fear of violence.

Do we want violence, no. That's not the best way to solve our problems. Sometimes though it's the only way.

The day this dude got shot Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield had announced they were only going to partially cover anesthesia for surgery. If you were under “too long” they wouldn’t cover it

They reversed the plan the next day.

I have said that too many people walk around without the fear of being punched in the face. Same that I don't want people getting punched, but it would be nice if it was on the table.

I heard that they were going to limit time under anesthesia and thought it was an onion article or something.  Can't believe it was true.

[Maximum Overkill 1,831]

Clearly a hit. The guy who murdered him was wearing over $500 in clothes, a $250 backpack, a $350 suppressor and a $1,200 gun. There's nothing random about it. 

Ohhh yeah, I almost forgot. He's being investigated for insider trading. The same one that Nancy Pelosi benefited from.

That depends. Are you an insurance CEO? 

[thegeneral 3,040]

Look the guy who shot this CEO is a crazy piece of shet. He will get caught. In typical moronic troll fashion this minuscule corner of the internet has a small faction of people who want to assign this person to one tribe as some evidence of something. Super lame and pathetic.

Now that being said the insurance biz is about as scummy as they come

Is that the only criteria? Or can I just declare myself a journalist and make the same assertions they did?  Well, maybe it would be easier if you could just tell us who cant decide good/evil or live/die?

The reporter didn’t decide who lives and dies. She said “no wonder people want these execs dead.” Yes, you are allowed to say similar things. It’s a free country!

You can't. You're too one sided....plus trying to kill someone by boring them to death with AI sounding word vomit isn't the most effective means.

OK, maybe then, we can try this another way, I am thinking if I use liberal dogma it could be true that a more fruitful conversation might arise.....

Do you denounce what the reporter has stated?

Did anyone give a journalist power to assess that? The article is just a dumb journalist popping off. It's not anything more than that.

As I said earlier- if you polled all American adults she is probably right...but this should have remained an internal comment and not put out there. So yes- I disagree with how she went about this. I don't think anyone here agrees with how she went about it.
