Fox News host Sean Hannity is as baffled as the rest of us that anyone who wants to be taken seriously, let alone someone who considers herself a journalist, would openly cheerlead cold-blooded murder.
Taylor Lorenz when asked if she will condemn people who call for assassinations:

Hannity invited former Washington Post “journalist” Taylor Lorenz on his show to let her explain in her own words why she “felt joy” watching Luigi Mangione, a prep school punk, fatally shoot United Healthcare’s CEO Brian Thompson in the back while he was walking down a Manhattan street.
“Those are the words you used. You can shake your head all you want,” said Hannity, as his guest refused to come to admit to her own statements.
“Never did I say that I ‘felt joy’ in his death,” insisted Lorenz, saying she instead felt happiness that "the brutality of our healthcare system was finally being acknowledged” (via murder.)
Meanwhile, on the same day of Thompson’s murder, Lorenz posted an image of Blue Cross Blue Shield’s CEO, calling on vigilantes to hunt her down next. She later called Mangione a "morally good man" in an interview with CNN, describing him as "a revolutionary, who’s famous, who’s handsome, who’s young, who’s smart, he’s a person who seems like he’s this morally good man, which is hard to find."

Speaking with Hannity, Lorenz attempted to flip the script by generalizing all healthcare companies as “murderous” for refusing to cover certain costs. With her logic, actual murder is therefore justified.
“I don’t like the healthcare system either and a lot of people are experiencing frustration like you’re saying,” responded Hannity. “But that,” he stated, “is separate” from “praising…calling [the murderer of a father] “handsome, smart, intelligent” like Lorenz has done.
Throughout the interview, Hannity continuously attempted to “understand” why his radical guest is “advocating for putting a smiley face on assassination.” Lorenz continued insisting those weren’t her “own beliefs,” but that she was merely “describing the mentality” of Mangione’s “fan girls” which TOTALLY does not describe her.
If that’s the case, Hannity figured, Lorenz can at least bring herself to condemn their support for murder… Right?
“Would you say that anyone who praises this guy is lacking a soul, a conscience and a heart?” he repeated with no luck. After deflecting multiple times, “journalist” answered that she doesn’t believe in God and therefore, doesn’t believe in a soul.
Hannity was apparently describing Lorenz all along.
