Libertarian strategist Tim Miller called “vigilante murder” on his podcast Tuesday, a day after commenting on how “attractive” the United Healthcare CEO’s alleged assassin looked. He praised it “exaggeratedly”.

Since authorities arrested 26-year-old Luigi Mangione on Monday, political commentators and online users have repeatedly commented on the Maryland native’s appearance, with some noting how “sexy” he looks. Some people pointed out that. Miller, host of “The Bulwark,” opened by saying that Mangione’s alleged behavior had led to him being glorified online.

“I think all this talk about radicalization is just simplistic.” [a] A fancy excuse for people living in decadent times. “You’re creating an environment where people can justify defending horrible acts, doing horrible things, and voting for people they know are bad,” Miller said.

“In some cases, we even glorify horrific acts as part of existential goodness, and we saw this in Mangione’s case,” Miller added. “I want to push back against this, starting with Luigi.”

Mr Miller went on to question whether Mr Mangione may have been “mentally insane” and said the 26-year-old had announced his opposition to the health insurance industry in a newly released manifesto. He emphasized that he had revealed that he had suffered a serious injury to his back.(Related article: ‘These people are fucking sick’: Megyn Kelly slams CEO assassination suspect for ‘terrible’ praise)

“Like I said, his Goodreads account shows that he was looking for a solution to this pain. It doesn’t really matter how bad his pain was in the context of radicalization because… , in a world where people put out everything about a murderer as a romantic supercut because he has abs and is traumatized, because that gives everyone a reason to do it. ” Miller said.

“This gives everyone the opportunity to feel like they can become famous by killing people. I mean, have you seen these things? It’s over the top and it’s putting us in a very bad situation. Miller said. “This is not the world we want to live in, where we justify our pain, our trauma, our bad experiences in life to vigilante murder.”

Miller’s comments came a day after his appearance. another episode Miller spoke with co-host Sam Stein on “The Bulwark” about how attractive Mangione appeared when photos from his account circulated on social media after Mangione’s arrest.

“There’s a lot to unpack here, and his six-pack is going to be one of the things that needs to be unpacked,” Miller said. “He’s a very attractive guy and there’s a lot of messages about it… He’s making a big deal of it in gay group chats. Gay group chats are on fire right now.”

“I’ve gotten some text messages from people trying to get me to admit that I’m attracted to shooters. I just have to say they’re not exactly my type,” Miller said. added. “I mean, objectively handsome. Not my type at all, you know. In that category, the Boston Marathon bomber was kind of in my wheelhouse.”

In addition to online users, some users of the e-commerce platform Etsy have also started selling shirts, cups, and Christmas ornaments featuring paintings resembling Mangione. The 26-year-old man was arrested in Pennsylvania on Monday and will remain in the custody of the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections while he contests extradition to New York City.
