Supporters of accused killer Luigi Mangione faced fierce backlash on Newsmax’s “The Right Squad” for glorifying his alleged assassination of a healthcare CEO. Chris Plante and his panel slammed the “despicable” fanbase treating Mangione like a hero, calling it proof of America’s moral decay.
Plante ripped the “death cult” mentality of young fans sending Mangione photos and money, comparing it to women obsessed with serial killers. Co-host Mercedes Schlapp warned moms to protect daughters from this toxic influence, citing reports of girls mailing shrine-like letters to the jailed suspect.
The panel blasted left-wing figures like Taylor Lorenz for normalizing Mangione’s actions as “morally good” despite his cold-blooded murder of a father of two. They slammed the punk band Circle Jerks for urging an “army of Luigis” to target corporate leaders, calling it violent extremism disguised as activism.
Schlapp highlighted the hypocrisy of Mangione’s supporters demanding “justice” while ignoring his victim’s family. She condemned the twisted idolization of a man who executed someone in broad daylight, caught on camera, then fled like a coward.
Plante linked Mangione’s fanbase to liberal education indoctrinating youth to hate capitalism and cheer lawlessness. He warned this “murder cult” threatens every American if vigilante killings replace due process for disliked industries or leaders.
The group mocked Mangione’s Reddit fans donating over $500,000 to his defense while claiming to fight “corporate greed.” They called it a scam exploiting gullible kids who can’t see through his phony “anti-capitalist” martyr act.
Allen compared the frenzy to O.J. Simpson’s trial, where jury bias overrode clear evidence. She fears Mangione’s team will weaponize this public rage to score a mistrial, letting a killer walk free on technicalities.
Plante closed by urging patriots to reject this cultural rot and defend the rule of law. “Real justice,” he said, “means punishing thugs like Mangione – not turning them into rock stars for brainwashed leftists.”
