During a recent monologue, ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel joked about some of his staff being “horny” for the man who is suspected of murdering health care CEO Brian Thompson.
ABC late night host Jimmy Kimmel made one big joke about how “hot” his staff thinks the suspected murderer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is.
During his “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” monologue on Tuesday evening, the late-night host shared anonymous text exchanges between his staff members talking about how attractive and likable they found Luigi Mangione, the Ivy League graduate who was charged with murdering Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel last week.
“There’s a huge wave of horny washing over us right now”, Kimmel began, noting how the suspected killer’s unexpected online popularity has found its way to his own underlings.
Along with many on social media, other prominent media figures have appeared to romanticize Thompson’s suspected assassin. Ex- reporter Taylor Lorenz has shared multiple posts sympathizing with the killer and those who are happy about Thompson’s death.
During an appearance on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” earlier this week, Lorenz even said the killing brought her “joy”, though she tried to clarify those comments during the broadcast.
