So Taylor Lorenz went on Hannity this week to clear the air… and instead, she just blew more smoke. The woman who once cried on camera because someone linked to her Twitter now wants to explain why a man accused of assassinating a healthcare CEO is actually “morally good.”
Let me say that again, in case you thought you hallucinated it: Taylor Lorenz is out here romanticizing an alleged cold-blooded murderer — and the media elite is either silent or nodding along like she just said something brave.
This is where we are, folks. The “journalists” have become propagandists, the propagandists are now apologists for violence, and the apologists cry victim every time someone asks them a hard question. Buckle up, because this ride into media madness has no brakes.
A Quick Recap for the Sane People
Let’s rewind. Lorenz appeared on Hannity to respond to the backlash over her bizarre and frankly disturbing comments about Luigi Mangione — the man accused of murdering the CEO of UnitedHealthcare. This wasn’t a mistake or a slip-up. Lorenz looked straight at the camera and described him as “handsome,” “young,” “smart,” “a revolutionary,” and yes — “morally good.”
She claimed she was “just describing what his supporters believe,” as if that somehow makes it okay to echo the language of a deranged fan club. What’s next? A documentary on the misunderstood passion of the Manson girls?
Hannity, to his credit, asked her multiple times — point blank — if she condemns Mangione or his supporters. And every single time? She dodged. Pivoted. Threw up a word salad about the healthcare system. She sounded like Kamala Harris trying to explain quantum physics.
Taylor’s Favorite Word: “Context” (Also Known as Evasion)
Now, Taylor insists her words were taken out of context. Because of course. When all else fails, blame the context — or the patriarchy, or capitalism, or whatever else fits the victim narrative of the day.
But here’s the thing: we watched the full segment. She wasn’t condemning. She was romanticizing. She wasn’t analyzing. She was empathizing. She wasn’t being a journalist. She was being an ideological cheerleader for a man who allegedly executed someone.
At one point, she literally posted:
“And people wonder why we want these executives dead.”
Sorry, but there’s no context in the universe that makes that quote okay. Unless you’re writing fan fiction for Antifa Weekly, that is.
The Media’s Moral Collapse
This isn’t just about Taylor Lorenz. She’s the symptom — not the disease. What we’re witnessing is the total collapse of moral clarity in American journalism.
If someone from the Right even breathes near a controversial figure, the media immediately calls for blacklisting, deplatforming, and congressional hearings. But when a Left-wing darling gets caught praising a murderer? Suddenly it’s all nuance and misunderstood intentions.
Imagine for a second — just one second — that a conservative writer said half the things Taylor did, but about someone who shot up Planned Parenthood. Would they be invited on national TV for a soft interview? Would they get sympathetic puff pieces from The Atlantic? Or would they be fired, banned, and buried?
You already know the answer.
“It’s Not Me, It’s The Fan Girls!”
Another favorite Lorenz move: “I’m not saying this — I’m just describing what other people believe.”
Right. Because if I describe how bank robbers think money is freedom, that doesn’t mean I support them, right? I’m just explaining their motivations… while calling them handsome, brilliant, and morally righteous. Totally normal journalistic behavior.
She tried this line over and over with Hannity. “I’m just explaining the ideology.” No, Taylor. You’re justifying it. You’re sympathizing with it. And you’re doing it with a smirk while pretending you’re the victim of yet another right-wing smear job.
It’s not journalism. It’s cosplay for the chronically online.
Her Track Record: Always the Victim, Never the Villain
Let’s not pretend this is new behavior. Taylor Lorenz has made a career out of punching down while pretending she’s being bullied. She famously doxxed the creator of the Libs of TikTok account, then cried during a MSNBC segment about “harassment” because people responded to her behavior.
She claims to be an expert on extremism and online culture, but apparently that doesn’t include looking in the mirror. She constantly frames herself as a truth-teller while working for outlets that bend over backwards to protect the Democratic establishment. And now? She wants sympathy for explaining the “motivations” of someone who allegedly murdered a father in cold blood.
You can’t cry victim while handing out moral hall passes to murderers. That’s not bravery. That’s bullshit.
She Would Never Say This If It Were a MAGA Guy
Let’s cut through the noise: if this were flipped — if a Trump supporter assassinated someone on the Left — and a conservative journalist described him as “morally good,” what do you think would happen?
You think they’d be allowed to say, “I’m just describing what his supporters feel”? No chance. The media would be on DEFCON 1. There would be calls for censorship, firings, arrests — and maybe even a congressional hearing or two.
But because this fits the narrative — evil capitalist dies, leftist rage is justified — Taylor gets a pass. Worse, she gets airtime.
And the cherry on top? When Hannity asked if she condemned assassination attempts against people like Trump or Elon Musk, she responded with:
“You’re going to ask me if I condemn Hamas next?”
I mean—really? That’s the line of defense now?
What This Really Means
This is what happens when you trade objectivity for ideology. Taylor Lorenz didn’t just lose her moral compass — she turned it into a ring light and filmed herself spinning in circles. We are watching the death of journalism and the birth of influencer activism, where “truth” is whatever makes your followers clap harder.
When people like Taylor Lorenz start sounding more like cult recruiters than reporters, it’s time to wake up. Because the next time someone “morally good” takes justice into their own hands, the media will be ready — not to condemn it, but to explain it.
Final Thoughts
Look, you can hate the healthcare system. You can want reform. You can even think CEOs are overpaid. But the moment you start sympathizing with a murderer — or worse, elevating him as some kind of icon — you’ve lost the plot.
Taylor Lorenz didn’t just lose the plot — she set the script on fire and handed the ashes to her followers on TikTok.
She wants to be seen as a serious journalist. But at this point, all we’re seeing is a professional victim with a microphone, a meltdown on speed dial, and a worldview so warped it bends light.
