Leftists across the country have shown a bizarre and sickening amount of support for Luigi Mangione, the alleged shooter of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Now they’re even raising money for him.
A group called the December 4 Legal Committee has set up an account on GiveSendGo and it has accrued more than $160,000 in donations.
Newsweek notes that this account has raised more than an account that was set up for the victims of the recent shooting in Wisconsin.
Luigi Mangione Fundraiser Raises More Than Madison Shooting Victim GoFundMe
What’s New
A GiveSendGo fundraiser created for alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO shooter Luigi Mangione received more donations in its first 24 hours than a GoFundMe for victims of the shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin.
Why It Matters
One teacher and a teenage student died Monday when suspected shooter Natalie “Samantha” Rupnow, 15, opened fire at ALCS before killing herself on Monday. Six other people were injured in the shooting with two students experiencing life-threatening injuries.
On Tuesday, Mangione, 26, was charged in New York with first-degree murder in furtherance of terrorism for allegedly killing UHC CEO Brian Thompson on December 4. If convicted, Mangione could be facing life imprisonment without parole.
What To Know
The December 4 Legal Committee, a group composed of 15 volunteers from around the country formed after Thompson’s death, created its Mangione GiveSendGo fundraiser to help the Ivy League grad with his legal fees.
The group has even set up an account on Twitter/X to post comments from donors:

This guy killed someone in cold blood. He shot an innocent and unarmed man in the back, yet leftists are treating him like a hero. There is something seriously wrong with these people.
