A woman has defended Luigi Mangione and sparked outrage after claiming she would kill her mother if she became a healthcare executive like the late UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.Lena Weisbrot, 32, made the comment on Instagram after reports identified her mother, Rena Natero, as an executive at CVS Health who oversees prescription drug insurance coverage rules.Weisbrot first attempted to downplay his mother’s condition after the information became public.“He’s an activist,” she wrote in a text message screenshot, which she later shared to her Instagram Story, according to the New York Post.After this he escalated the controversy with shocking comments.“If my mother had been a health insurance executive I would have shot her myself,” Weisbrot wrote.He continued to imagine a hypothetical scenario in which he inherited money from his mother after such an act.“If she had been a health insurance executive like Bren (sic) Thompson, and I would have been the same person I am now and if I had known what I do now (unlikely because and coming from a (sic) ultra wealthy family I would have been a fundamentally different person), and I was still in the will and thought I could get away with it, I would inherit the money and redistribute it to all the families she destroyed with her murderous company,” He wrote.He added, “But it’s so far from my reality, it’s just a fantasy. A fantasy that makes me…wet.”In another Instagram Story post, Weisbrot wrote: “Debate: If my mom was a health insurance CEO would I really comment on that.”He added: “When it comes to me arguing about hypothetical situations that don’t exist: no.”Weisbrot is known online as one of several self-described “Mangionistas”, a group of supporters and independent bloggers who have attended Luigi Mangione’s court hearings using press credentials issued by the City of New York.Mangione is accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, whose death sparked online debate over the US healthcare system. Some consider his death justified, while others say Mangione is another ruthless killer.Outside a recent court hearing, Weisbrot caused further backlash after saying that Thompson’s children are “better off without her”.He said, “He has to learn not to be like his father – and enjoy blood money.”
