Warren Reaction To CEO Murder Confirms Dems Are Pro-Violence

Sen. Elizabeth Warren is doing her best to justify future violence against the health insurance industry in the wake of the alleged murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson by suspected shooter Luigi Mangione.

When Thompson was shot to death on a New York City sidewalk last week, allegedly over frustrations with rising health care costs and insurance claim denials, reactions were mixed between people justifying — even celebrating — the violence as a blow to the insurance industry and others condemning it. Democrats in particular rushed to spin the tragedy in their favor. In addition to using the crime as fuel for their gun-grab agenda, some leftist politicians like Warren established the blue party as the party of violence by promising murder will happen again unless the industry bends to leftist demands.

In an interview with the Huffington Post, Warren sympathized with the “visceral response from people across this country who feel cheated, ripped off, and threatened by the vile practices of their insurance companies.” Thompson’s death, she suggested, “should be a warning to everyone in the health care system” because it could be replicated by people frustrated with the industry.

Warren attempted to hedge her threat by claiming that violence is “never the answer.” Instead of stopping there, however, the Democrat all but promised that murders like Thompson’s will continue because “people can be pushed only so far.”

“This is a warning that if you push people hard enough, they lose faith in the ability of their government to make change, lose faith in the ability of the people who are providing the health care to make change, and start to take matters into their own hands in ways that will ultimately be a threat to everyone,” Warren said.

Warren is no stranger to encouraging or excusing violence in the name of advancing her political agenda. When the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson opinion was prematurely leaked, she was one of dozens of Democrats whose blatant rejection of the decision that hurt their abortion agenda incited attacks on pregnancy centers and churches.

Over the last four years especially, members and leaders of Warren’s party called for literal violence against their political enemies, promised insurrection, threatened Republican-nominated Supreme Court justices, and ran an assassination prep campaign against our next president.

When rioters and arsonists caused billions of dollars of damage to cities all across the nation in 2020, Democrats and the press not only cheered them on but bailed them out. When a man tried to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh at his home, Democrats turned a blind eye, or worse, continued calling for a “mini revolution” against the high bench.

Warren can pretend that for her party and her supporters “violence is not the answer.” But adding a caveat instead of a period to the end of that statement confirms that Democrats are not above using violence to get what they want.
