Who is Luigi Mangione? He’s the suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on December 4. Thompson was gunned down outside of the New York Hilton Midtown hotel before an investor’s meeting allegedly by Mr. Mangione, who used a suppressed firearm. Mangione was hailed as some populist hero in leftist circles for killing Thompson, with writers like Taylor Lorenz being his most vocal advocate.
The debate about the American healthcare system is intertwined with sub-plots on race, wealth, and access, so it’s not unusual that this is a petri dish for left-wing insanity. Yet, Mangione is no working-class hero. It’s the seat of irony—the kid hails from Baltimore royalty, Ivy-League educated, and went to a private school whose tuition hovers around $40,000.
The Mangiones are prominent in Baltimore — and are particularly known for their philanthropy and work in the healthcare sector.
