Pro-Mangione NYC ‘Journalists’ Gloating Over Murder Demonstrate That Assassination Culture Is No Longer Fringe

Sometimes evil isn’t just banal. It’s direct, open, and unrepentant.

That was the case on Monday afternoon as three “credentialed” journalists showed up to cover the Luigi Mangione trial in New York and revealed that they were happy he allegedly shot and killed UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson.

The self-described “Mangionistas”—and dedicated fans of democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani—were unrepentant in their embrace of assassinations as a reasonable form of political action.

They not only reveled in Thompson’s death, they also took shots at his family too.

“F— Brian Thompson,” said a woman who the New York Daily News identified as Ashley Rojas based on the press credentials dangling from her neck. “That’s all I want to say. F— Brian Thompson. F— his mom.”

Lena Weissbrot, who appeared to be dressed up as a cross between Beetlejuice and Luigi, but the one from the Mario Bros., said that Thompson’s son was better off with his father dead.

“His children are better off without him. They need to learn to not be like their dad. And enjoy the blood money, kids,” she said.

She then compared Thompson to Osama bin Laden.

“He’s responsible for more deaths than Osama bin Laden, and I remember Americans celebrating when Osama bin Laden was killed,” Weissbrot continued. “It’s not like we don’t understand heroic violence, or, like, when violence is good.”

The Mangione superfan kept going.

“I mean, why do we protect the Second Amendment so much—is it to allow people to shoot up schools, or is it to protect our democracy?” she said.

The New York Post, always quick with the clever headlines, called them “the ghouls next door.”

Many others took to social media to condemn the hateful women and noted that they were given press credentials by the Mamdani administration.
