Yahoo Lifestyle 'Daily Show' Spots The 1 'Surprising' Thing About Luigi Mangione's Manifesto
“Daily Show” correspondent Michael Kosta on Wednesday called out a “surprising” detail from a “manifesto” reportedly penned by Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Kosta called the document “surprisingly modest” before turning to a NewsNation report on a line that says, “the US has the number one most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly number 42 in life expectancy.”
“Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument,” read the manifesto published by independent journalist Ken Klippenstein.
Kosta, who was hosting the show Wednesday, couldn’t help but make light of the line, saying, “‘I don’t really know what I’m talking about’ is a surprising thing to put in a manifesto.”
He continued, “This is the first murder manifesto I’ve read that could’ve ended with, ‘But no worries, if not. You know, either way.’ You never see the Taliban like ‘Death to America, although, we’re not experts so grain of salt.’”
