TAYLOR'S VERSION: Hannity Speaks With Former NYT Reporter About Controversial Luigi Mangione Comments [WATCH]

Former WaPo and New York Times reporter Taylor Lorenz stopped by Hannity Wednesday night to address her recent controversial comments about alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO murderer Luigi Mangione.

Lorenz attempted to clarify remarks she made about Mangione and his appeal to Americans upset with the healthcare system.

“What I’m describing, and if you watch the full segment, not just the clip, you’ll see that I’m just describing the mentality of these fangirls [who] show up outside Luigi’s court and show up outside his jail cell,” said Lorenz. “Those girls are not me, OK? We have very separate belief systems. But I was describing how they believe.”

The former Washington Post columnist told CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan last week about Mangione’s support among women, arguing he’s a “revolutionary, who’s famous, who’s handsome, who’s young, who’s smart.”

“He’s a person who seems like he’s this morally good man, which is hard to find,” Lorenz said.

Hannity asked Lorenz if she would agree that anyone who praises Mangione lacks “a soul, a conscience and a heart.”

“Well, what I will say, Sean, once again, is that I believe in free speech. I don’t believe in things like, you know, religious things like souls and all of these things,” she answered.

“If you can’t have sympathy for a dead father and husband, do you lack a conscience, a soul and a heart? That’s a simple question. You’re a smart woman,” Hannity responded.
