'I Don't Give a Flying F— He Died': NYC Mayor's Office Gives Press Badges to Luigi Mangione Fangirls Caught on Tape Celebrating CEO's Murder
The NYC Mayor's Office issued press badges to three women who celebrated the murder of health insurance CEO Brian Thompson outside a court hearing for his accused killer, Luigi Mangione. The women, who do not appear to be affiliated with any publication, made inflammatory statements about Thompson's death. This incident raises questions about the criteria for press credentials and the role of journalism in politically charged cases.
- ▪The women called Brian Thompson a 'murderer' and 'terrorist' outside the court hearing.
- ▪Ashley Rojas, one of the credentialed journalists, stated, 'I don't give a flying f— he died.'
- ▪The NYC Mayor's Office has a program to issue press credentials to strengthen the creative economy.
