Taylor Lorenz, former New York Times and Washington Post “journalist” got herself into a little hot water a few days ago when she held, basically, a virtual celebration of UnitedHealthcare (UHC) CEO Brian Thompson’s murder.

In fact, Taylor does not understand what the big deal is and why everyone is “pearl clutching”. Everyone wants CEOs of healthcare conglomerates dead, after all. Doesn’t matter he left behind a wife and two sons. CEOs are EVIL. “Journalists” like Taylor Lorenz? Well, they’re just dedicated to providing the “truth”, you see. And, of course, making our world a better place as a whole by celebrating the death of the corporate man. I mean, it’s “only natural” for those to want to celebrate, right?

Naturally, the mainstream media began pearl clutching in outrage. After I posted a quote tweet about insurance companies no longer paying for certain anesthesia with the phrase, ‘And people wonder why we want these executives dead,’ legacy media outlets including Fox News pounced and wrote a slew of articles about my “calls for violence.”

Let me be super clear: my post uses a collective ‘we’ and is explaining the public sentiment. It is not me personally saying ‘I want these executives dead and so we should kill them.’ I am explaining that thousands of Americans (myself included) are fed up with our barbaric healthcare system and the people at the top who rake in millions while inflicting pain, suffering, and death on millions of innocent people.”-Taylor Lorenz

Tay, I don’t know who or give a flying flip who your collective “we” is. The point of this exercise as the (ahem) “journalist” you claim to be, would be exercising a wee little bit of bearing and, I know this is a stretch, CLASS. 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:

We would have thought a few more years would have brought Taylor Lorenz a little more maturity and wisdom but, in all honesty, we can’t expect much from a hack that doxxed a Jewish woman who sells real estate for being the brains behind Libs of TikTok. Yeah, we know. She made excuses about this, too. Remember this one from the (AHEM) Way Back Machine? Something to the tune of trying to be a “good journalist”.

And, right on cue, she backpedals a bit on the latest:

People have very justified hatred toward insurance company CEOs because these executives are responsible for an unfathomable amount of death and suffering. I think it’s good to call out this broken system and the people in power who enable it. Again, not so they can be murdered, but so that we can change the system and start holding people in power accountable for their actions.”-Taylor Lorenz

It’s not justified, Ms. Lorenz. But while we are on the very subject, Dr. Anthony Fauci was also “responsible for an unfathomable amount of death and suffering” and “should be held accountable for his actions”, don’t you think?

The logic behind Taylor Lorenz and her musings are a bit disturbing. It’s such that if you have a justified hatred of someone else, or what they stand for, then another person is justified in killing this person, and others are justified in celebrating this person’s death? Was UHC always on the up-and-up? It’s doubtful. Did Brian Thompson benefit from the corruption? It’s also possible. Is it “natural” to say, “Good, he’s dead?” For most of us normal people on this planet, no, it isn’t.

Taylor Lorenz’s musings speak volumes of the person that she is: a self-centered, no-talent bully. This is someone who claimed to “have PTSD” after she was called out for doxxing. She was tough behind the keyboard, though.

The irony that I doubt Taylor Lorenz would see even if it were thrown in her masked-up face? Liberals, like Lorenz, want CEOs killed for greed and corruption, but they don’t want Trump and Musk to go after greed and corruption. Taylor Lorenz claims to be “against pain and suffering” whilst promoting pain and suffering.

Can someone hand me that straitjacket? It’s the perfect color that will pair nicely with her fashionable KN95 as we escort the good communist on a flight to Canada for amazing healthcare. Hell, I’ll even do the honors. I might cough on her a bit to see her squirm.
