Mega podcaster Joe Rogan suggested the public’s lack of sympathy over UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s assassination is because of the “dirty business” he was involved in.
Rogan, 57, was speaking with filmmaker Quentin Tarantino and producer Roger Avary on Tuesday’s episode of the “Joe Rogan Experience” when they briefly kicked off the show by discussing a photo of accused CEO killer Luigi Mangione.
“I don’t think this guy was a professional,” Rogan said in the episode recorded about a week before alleged assassin Mangione was captured at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pa., on Monday following a five-day manhunt.
“I think this guy, if I had to guess, was some guy who got f–ked over,” the UFC commentator said. “Apparently, that company is really bad at denying claims.”
Avary and Rogan then pointed out the staggering denial rate for health insurance claims UnitedHealthcare is accused of having with its policyholders.
