Earlier this week, in a New York Times piece, Democrats’ favorite podcaster, Hasan Piker, justified killing people whom he doesn’t like. Piker claimed that murdered healthcare CEO Brian Thompson “was engaging in a tremendous amount of social murder.” Piker failed to condemn the alleged shooter, Luigi Mangione.

This assassin was acting on basic, everyday Democrat talking points. There are tens of millions just like him. People who have been radicalized by left wing anti-Trump arguments. He believed he was a hero & acting logically and morally to kill Hitler & his enablers. https://t.co/YIFVPYxd9c
