MTG fears suspected CEO assassin could fuel 'push' from the left for socialized medicine
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Tuesday said she believes that the brazen assassination of UnitedHealth's CEO could be the beginning of a political movement that sparks calls for socialized medicine.
The MAGA lawmaker’s latest conspiracy theory came during an appearance on the far-right Real America’s Voice platform, where she said past political movements have traditionally included tactics like marches, riots and storming politicians' offices.
“And oftentimes when they're not successful you know, maybe they're moving to assassinating just one person in order to make the changes they think they want,” Greene said.

She added: “But what I’m more concerned about is, we’ve seen the left push for socialized medicine for years,” Greene said. “You know, Bernie Sanders had ‘Medicare for all.’ I hope this doesn’t turn into where they take this guy they’re praising, right, and make him some sort of hero that they all worship and then pick up the mantra and move it and go after other people.”
Greene continued to condemn some who have defended the suspect, Luigi Mangione, saying, “There should never be a time where people are cheering on the death of an innocent man.”
“This is someone that was clearly mentally unstable and came from a life of privilege and went and killed a CEO, for whatever his reasons are, and supposedly he has a manifesto,” she said.
