Meet a US journalist

The Daily Mail reports:

Piers Morgan was left in shock after gleeful former Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz said she felt ‘joy’ following the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.  …

Morgan recalled that post with Lorenz and asked her: ‘Why would you be in such a celebratory mood about the execution of another human being? 

‘Aren’t you supposed to be on the caring, sharing left where, you know, you believe in the sanctity of life?’ 

Lorenz, all smiles, replied: ‘I do believe in the sanctity of life and I think that’s why I felt, along with other Americans, joy, unfortunately.’ 

Morgan immediately cut her off and said: ‘Joy?! Serious? Joy at a man’s execution?’

What is astonishing isn’t so much that a journalist like Taylor Lorenz finds joy in the assassination of a human being who is a CEO, but that she feels she can admit this so gleefully on television.

Morgan then pushed it further and asked her if she believed all healthcare CEO’s should be killed because of her reasoning. 

‘Should they all be killed, these healthcare executives? Would that make you even more joyful?,’ he asked. 

Lorenz laughed and then said: ‘Uh, no,’ as Morgan asked her ‘Well, why not?’ 

‘Why are you laughing? You seem to find the whole thing hilarious. A bloke’s been murdered in the street. I don’t find it funny at all.’ 

It is such a disturbing mindset you celebrate the assassination of someone, just because you don’t like the company they work for.
