CNN sunk to a new low as NewsNight fill-in host Audie Cornish implied subway “vigilante” Daniel Penny was no different than Luigi Mangione, the alleged murderer of UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson. “There you also have a victim who somebody determined did not deserve to continue living,” as if Penny was an assassin. “Tell me which vigilante action is okay.”

Attorney Arthur Aidala objected: “Talk to people who ride the subway every day, because I do all the time. I do all the time. I can’t find anyone who rides the subway who’s unhappy about this verdict.” 

CNN analyst Scott Jennings also pushed back, sensibly suggesting that Penny was the good guy, and Mangione was the bad guy. “I’m just telling you what I see out in the world today,” he said.

On ABC’s The View, Whoopi Goldberg was furious that Penny’s team celebrated his win. “I don’t know that seeing them celebrating in a bar made me comfortable, you know? I mean, you killed a guy. The man is dead, and maybe you just — you take the celebration home.” Whoopi decried the verdict as a “failure on the part of the courts.”

Co-host Sunny Hostin lashed out America and questioned the lack of “compassion.” “And so, when you look at that and look at the result of what happened, my question is where is our compassion?! As a society, where is our compassion?!…Where is our compassion as a society?!”

I would have given him money! I would have tried to give him food! I would have tried to help!” As if Sunny the multi-millionaire would feel compelled to ride the subway…

On her show, MSNBC host Joy Reid gleefully noted that people on the internet are not angry at the murder, and when she welcomed progressive author and radio host Thom Hartmann, wondered how such reactions could be made in the same country that just elected Donald Trump. For his part, Hartmann declared that the reason why America does not have a socialist healthcare system is because of racism.
