Elizabeth Warren really stepped in it when she muttered that the killing of the UnitedHealthCare chief was a “warning to everyone in the health care system” that “people can be pushed only so far.” No sooner had she said it than she was walking back the comments, issuing a clarification, etc, etc. … Of course she wasn’t condoning murder. And she was indeed tapping into a deep reserve of resentment toward the insurance industry. But there’s no way of denying that she came across as someone using the cold-blooded murder of a human being to score political points against an industry she loathes. She just couldn’t resist. … And tying the comments to the actions of a genuine nutcase like Luigi Mangione? … Check out the headline and subheadline on this Atlantic piece: “Luigi Mangione’s Commonplace, Deplorable Politics/From his actions, and the glee that they have elicited, one learns not that the health-care system is broken but that many people are.”

Update — This is sick: “‘Wanted’ posters of top health CEOs appear in New York City.”
