'Anger Is Rising Up': Bernie Sanders Says CEO Shooting 'Totally Unacceptable But..."

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) blamed the murder of a health care CEO on "people's anger" about unfair insurance practices. During a Sunday interview on Meet the Press, host Kristen Welker noted that Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) suggested that Luigi Mangione allegedly shot and killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson because "you can only push people so far and then they start to take matters into their own hands." "I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder," Warren later clarified. Sanders insisted that "Elizabeth Warren obviously understands killing and murder and shooting somebody in the back is totally unacceptable." "But what I think has happened in the last few months is that what you have seen rising up is people's anger at a health insurance industry which denies people the health care that they desperately need while they make billions and billions of dollars in profit," he added. Sanders argued that Warren "did not" applaud Thompson's killing. read more
