Former Washington Post “journalist” and leftwing political commentator Taylor Lorenz - this Taylor Lorenz, for those who may’ve forgotten - is going viral as of Tuesday morning, and for all the wrong reasons. Again.
Lorenz, whose hot takes have become increasingly radical to the point of objectively insane over the past couple of years, said publicly on Piers Morgan Uncensored Monday night that she “felt joy” after seeing video of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson being gunned down in cold blood in Manhattan but a deranged lunatic, saying it’s comeuppance for the healthcare industry’s treatment of ill people.
“I do believe in the sanctity of life and think that’s why I felt, along with so many other Americans, joy, unfortunately,” a smiling Lorenz said to the utter astonishment of her fellow panelists, recalling the moment she watched Thompson, a husband and father of two, take a bullet to the back and fall down to the sidewalk dead.

Lorenz even started laughing at one point after Morgan asked if all healthcare CEOs should be executed.

“Joy?” Morgan asked, incredulous.
“Maybe not joy, but certainly not, certainly no … certainly not empathy," she went on, echoing comments she'd made previously on X in which she tried to explain "why we want these executives dead."
“How can this make you joyful? This guy’s a husband, he’s a father, and he’s being gunned down in the middle of Manhattan,” Morgan asked, shocked.

“So are the 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,” Lorenz shot back.
Of course, I doubt she’d be willing to entertain an honest discussion about big government red tape impeding insurance companies’ ability to compete with one another fairly in a truly free market system, which would not only increase their accountability to their customers, but also force them to offer better incentives at lower costs for people who could always choose to go somewhere else for their coverage.
“So should they all be killed then, these health care executives? Would that make you even more joyful?” Morgan pressed.
“Uh…no, that would not” Lorenz said, openly laughing before adding that watching other health insurance execs be murdered simply “wouldn’t fix the system.” She then said the only reason Morgan doesn’t feel joy at watching an innocent man be shot to death while walking down a sidewalk is because Morgan must never have had a bad experience with the American healthcare system.
“I’ve dealt with the healthcare system in various ways in America,” Morgan shot back. “I don’t think it’s perfect by any means. But the idea that I would view it as something joyful that a man who’s just a healthcare executive has just been executed in the street, I find completely bizarre.”
I see your “bizarre” and I’ll do you one better: it’s sick. It’s evil. And it’s a perfect representation of the hatred that leftism instills in the hearts of selfish people who hate anyone who has something that they don’t.
