Taylor Lorenz is a vacuous, soulless pissant. I’ll go to the mat on that one. She has no inner moral compass AND thinks she’s very, very smart. In case you are like me and don’t generally watch Sean Hannity, Miss Lorenz was on the Hannity Show last night. As bad as he is, she did herself no favors. Their conversation on Luigi Mangione, the alleged killer of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, and her fangirling over him was maddeningly stupid.

Last December, right after the murder of Thompson, Taylor wrote a post for User Mag titled “Why “we” want insurance executives dead” and you can read our Lisa’s post about that here. Notice that Lorenz used the collective “we” in quotes in the title. Then, when called out about it, she said that she was not part of the “we” that she was talking about. What a dummkopf. Lisa’s take is 100% valid:

Sharing celebratory memes might be a way for a 14 year-old to handle such news but this overgrown woman who peaked in college is well into her 40s.

At first, I just thought that Lorenz teenage girl act was part of her schtick. It may still be part of her schtick but she is clearly not working on full, mature, adult wattage.

So, she repeated the December act all over again. She sat down on CNN with Donnie O’Sullivan and it was covered in The American Spectator:

Over the weekend, CNN aired a special edition of The Whole Story With Anderson Cooper, titled “MisinfoNation: Extreme America.” While most of the special unsurprisingly focused on pointing fingers at the Right, they also had a segment on alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO murderer Luigi Mangione.

In the piece on Mangione, host Donie O’Sullivan interviewed former Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz, who giggled with glee while talking about the alleged murderer, because she thinks he’s a great person:

Here’s this man who’s a revolutionary, who’s famous, who’s handsome, who’s young, who’s smart, he’s a person who seems like he’s this morally good man, which is hard to find.

It should offend anyone with any sense of humanity that this woman was given a platform to fawn over an alleged murderer — but this is CNN, the same network that regularly allows its pundits and guests to push the narrative that Trump is “literally Hitler,” “fascist,” “racist,” “the end of democracy,” etc. It can easily be inferred by their programming that the channel’s executives approve this type of rhetoric — but what it now additionally exposes is the motivation behind their words.

Let’s read that again: “Here’s this man who’s a revolutionary, who’s famous, who’s handsome, who’s young, who’s smart, he’s a person who seems like he’s this morally good man, which is hard to find.”

Jeepers creepers, TayTay. So, because she is stupid and thinks everyone else is too, Miss Lorenz went on Sean Hannity and it went very poorly.

Does anyone have any burn cream? Taylor is not 15, she is 40. I get what she is saying and so did Hannity. Those were the feeling that the Leftie girls are having about Luigi Mangioni, the hot revolutionary, moral man. Zoinks. From Red State:

Needless to say, Hannity wasn’t as inviting an interviewer as Donie O’Sullivan was. He repeatedly pressed Lorenz to condemn Mangione, and that sent her into a tailspin.

HANNITY: Do you condemn that? Can you take a moral stand and condemn that?

(Cross-talk)

LORENZ: What I condemn is the violence of our system, and I would love for you to acknowledge that, and I would love for you to acknowledge the constant…

HANNITY: I’m not asking you to condemn the system. Taylor, I’m asking, do you condemn people who call for assassinations?

LORENZ: Gosh, you’re gonna ask me if I condemn Hamas next. This is crazy. I would love for you to acknowledge what I’m actually saying, Sean, and we seem to be talking past each other.

HANNITY: No, I hear you loud and clear.

LORENZ: I want to talk about the fact that half of all adults (inaudible) because of cost. We need to talk about the 70 percent of Americans, by the way, who believe that the insurance companies’ practices are responsible in part for Thompson’s death. These are signs of an unhealthy…

HANNITY: You want to put a rationalization. I am saying that anybody that wants to assassinate any innocent person is wrong. I don’t care if it’s a Democrat or Republican or a father or a husband, and that is a simple truth that anyone with a heart would easily say on national TV, and you’re having a hard time with.

She repeatedly says the “violence of our system” or “our healthcare is violence or “our healthcare system is brutality”. She really does want the healthcare CEO’s gunned down in the streets. More:

Things only got worse from there.

LORENZ: If you want to prevent further deaths, and you don’t want gun violence in the street, which I think we are both aligned in wanting, right? We want peace, we don’t want violence in this country no matter what side of the political aisle it’s coming from, you need to understand motives, and you need to understand the ideology that people have, and that is what my job is.

HANNITY: Why don’t you start with the basics? I’m going to help you out. Why don’t you first condemn those that want to be involved in assassinations and stop talking about them being handsome and smart and intelligent, and, you said, morally upright.

LORENZ: I didn’t say that I believe that. I am describing his supporters.

Let me translate that argument: Do what people like Lorenz want, or they’ll keep shooting people in the streets. Does that sound like someone we should be negotiating with? And as to the idea that Lorenz “didn’t say that I believe that” regarding Mangione being handsome, intelligent, and morally good, I want you to scroll back up and watch that clip of her CNN interview. Then I want you to tell me if she believes what she said or not.

She is a middle-aged teenager who is a vacuous, soulless pissant and she really thinks she is something. If she doesn’t like our healthcare system, she should design and propose a new system. Preferably one the government stays out of.
