Turns out Luigi Mangione is a Michael Moore fan.

Mangione is accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in cold blood earlier this month. Mangione had a “manifesto” in his possession when police arrested him following a tip generated at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s restaurant.

The alleged killer raged against America’s health care system, praising Moore for criticizing the for-profit system in his 2007 documentary “Sicko.”

Now, Moore is responding to a fan who may spend the rest of his days behind bars.

The far-Left filmmaker refused to condemn those who rage against America’s health care system in a lengthy Substack op-ed on the subject. He wants more rage, more anger and more media coverage of both.

He also danced around the one question he says he’s been repeatedly asked by various media outlets since the CEO’s death.

“Do you condemn Thompson’s murder?”

It’s the one thing missing in Moore’s pro-universal health care manifesto. 

Moore flexed his pacifist beliefs early and often. He suggested there’s no need for violence, just the eradication of our current health care system for the version embraced in Canada, Cuba and elsewhere.

He also embraced the death as a teachable moment, a chance to make wholesale change in the country. Doesn’t he realize what that could inspire?

Oppose President Elect Donald Trump’s border wall initiative? Kill the CEO of a company preparing to make said wall a reality.

That’s just one example.

Moore is opposed to violence. Allegedly. Did he rage against violent BLM protests in the wake of George Floyd’s death? What about those attempting to hurt, or worse, activist Riley Gaines for protesting trans women invading women’s sports?

The chatty Moore certainly wasn’t vocal on either front, assuming he said anything at all about the violence in question.

Why won’t he condemn Thompson’s murder? 

Moore flirted with doing so but pumped the rhetorical brakes. Consider:

Hmmm. Do I condemn murder? That’s an odd question. In Fahrenheit 9/11, I condemned the murder of hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi people and the senseless murder of our own American soldiers at the hands of our American government.

On and on it goes.

What’s missing?

“Of course, I condemn the murder of Brian Thompson.”

Instead, we get this:

In my 35 years as a filmmaker, have I said or done anything that has implied I condone murder?

The question matters because some prominent, far-Left figures either refuse to do so (Taylor Lorenz) or do so with an exaggerated “but…” prominently deployed.

Yes, I condemn murder, and that’s why I condemn America’s broken, vile, rapacious, bloodthirsty, unethical, immoral health care industry and I condemn every one of the CEOs who are in charge of it and I condemn every politician who takes their money and keeps this system going instead of tearing it up, ripping it apart, and throwing it all away.

Does Moore condemn the death of Thompson?

Yes, of course I do. 

Now, how hard is that? So why wouldn’t he say it?
