AOC justifies ‘lack of sympathy’ for Brian Thompson: ‘Denied claims are an act of violence’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez addressed the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, stating that while violence isn’t justified, Americans’ frustration with the healthcare system fuels such reactions. “​I think for anyone who is confused or shocked or appalled, they need to understand that people interpret and feel and experience denied claims as an act of violence against them,” AOC said.
