Liberal Commentator Briahna Joy Gray Admits She Has No Empathy for Slain UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson
In a shocking and controversial moment on British journalist Piers Morgan’s show “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” liberal commentator Briahna Joy Gray admitted that she has no empathy for Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare who was shot and killed outside a Manhattan hotel.
Gray made the statement after discussing the “discontent” that Americans feel towards powerful healthcare companies and executives like Thompson. She claimed that the suspected assassin, 26-year-old Luigi Mangione, was “just a vessel through which people are expressing their deep frustrations with the American healthcare system.”
When Morgan pressed her on whether she felt any empathy for Thompson and his family, Gray dodged the question, saying it was more about his job as CEO than him as a person. Morgan asked again, and Gray admitted, “I personally don’t” have any empathy for him.
Morgan responded, saying, “Right. OK, well, at least you’re honest,” and pointed out that Gray’s thoughts were evidence that liberals are hypocrites in their appeals to empathy, saying, “You’ve got to remember, the left is supposed to be the party that cares so much.”
Gray’s comments come as a shocking increase in violent assaults and deaths in the healthcare industry has left many Americans outraged and frightened for their safety. In addition, Gray’s views have sparked debate and outrage, with some calling for more introspection on the root causes of the discontent and violence, while others have criticized her lack of empathy and compassion for the victim and his family.
