Summary

Luigi Mangione, charged with the December 2024 murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, released his first public statement through a new website launched by his defense team.

Mangione has gained a following among those frustrated with the U.S. healthcare system. A poll found 41% of voters under 30 viewed the assassination as acceptable.

His next court date is Feb. 21.

    You’ll never change their minds with facts and logic. All you’re doing is reinforcing their beliefs

    For the MAGAt I referenced above, I’m well aware of that. When I argue with them, it’s not to convince them. It’s to make sure there are facts rebutting their crazy right alongside that crazy. The craziest thing is that there are true undecideds. Those are the people that might be swayed by the crazy bullshit. My hope is that my information is a solid counter to that crazy.

      Well, objectively it’s wrong, especially if you’re talking about doing it on Twitter or Facebook.
