“He’s Morally Good”: Taylor Lorenz Defends Assassin Heartthrob in Wild CNN Interview

Taylor Lorenz sparked new controversy during a CNN interview, where she brushed off criticism of women idolizing accused assassin Luigi Mangione, calling him “morally good – which is hard to find.” Speaking with MisinfoNation host Donie O’Sullivan, Lorenz criticized media outrage as out of touch, likening public sympathy for Mangione to America’s history of glamorizing criminals. Mangione, charged with killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has drawn a cult following. Lorenz, who previously went viral for saying she felt “joy” after Thompson’s death, clarified it was a comment on public sentiment—not approval of violence.
