Elizabeth Warren Issues Dramatic ‘Warning’ After UnitedHealthcare CEO Assassination: ‘People Can Be Pushed Only So Far’

31 comments

1. It’s too late. EVERYONE has been pushed too far. This is like sending a tornado warning when it’s already over your house. The wave is in motion and there’s nothing anybody can do to stop what I suspect is coming.

2. Warren say CEO go boom boom ha ha

3. Is it a dramatic warning, or merely an open acknowledgment of what many have been privately thinking for some time?

4. it’s more of a nuanced opinion than a warning

5. Fucking over sick people isn’t just cruel, it’s stupid.

   The last person I would want to piss off is someone who only has a few months to live anyhow.

6. It would have never happened in a corruption-free Warren America.

7. I’m honestly surprised it took so long for this to happen.  Healthcare insurance has been horrible to people for decades. 

8. UH decided to double down and “continue to guard against unnecessary care.” They haven’t learned so this will happen again.

9. I am so fucking sick of these politicians saying that violence is never the answer. We write letters. We protest. We complain. We whine.

   They sure take very little time for consideration before Udine state violence against its people. But the fucking moment any violence at all is pointed anywhere near their general direction, suddenly violence is unacceptable.

   We have nothing but snakes in Congress who will not be direct, will not solve problems, but want the comfort and security of stability while don’t absolutely nothing to maintain it.

   It’s the factory manager demanding full production all the time with no maintenance because maintenance costs money and production time and instead demands everyone work longer hours, doing more work, taking less compensation, and sacrificing everything to try to get production up and then blaming everyone else for the problems.

10. She’s right. You’ve beeb seeing rebellions around the globe for years now of people fed up. The American Gov has been able to placate the American people with delusions of “Freedom” and the mighty military but that’s not working so much anymore. With high inflation (dropping lately) and rising healthcare, more media covering billionaires etc. It was only a matter of time before people bit back. I’m surprised it’s taken this long.

    I remember watching the Denzel movie “John Q” when he took an Emergency Room hostage and thinking “wow this could really happen”.

    The problem is killing CEOs and Billionairs isn’t going to do much as it would just drive them “underground”. They’d operate behind the scenes and start their own restaurants, resorts etc. They have the dating app “Raya” for celebs and high profile people so why stop there.

11. It’s about time to elect officials that will write bills for universal health care.

12. “When you’re pushed, killings as easy as breathing”

13. She’s right. One if the only ones trying to

14. It’s funny that our country can simply just go to war with another country, or aid allies with endless funding for munitions, BUT when healthcare is eroding our people away……crickets.

15. Stand up people.

    We’re at a tipping point.

    We can either go back to sleep and keep getting walked on or we can make history for the better.

16. This is what more politicians need to acknowledge. More Warren, less Fetterman.

17. As an American citizen, I find it interesting that the January 6th criminals get praised by Trump and MAGA despite being the injuries and death caused by them to police officers. Of the near canonization of the female that was killed as she tried to force her way into the main chamber of the House. They put people down who disagree with them.

    I’ll preface by saying I dont support murder or any type or actions of the sort like what happened to the United CEO, but when your business model is to deny valid claims and let people die, it shouldn’t be surprising when something like this happens. Its also not surprising to see people cheer the shooter considering that so many of them have been negatively affected by insurance denials and related issues. Apparently its ok to be the CEO of a company that’s business is ok with allowing people to die to save money, but heaven forbid a citizen get fed up and do something stupid and its like the citizen is the devil and the CEO is the messiah. None of that makes sense.

    Warren is right. You push people to far, you make their lives hell for too long, you focus on supporting uber rich people, eventually it will make the people rise up. History is pretty clear what happens in these situations. Its why Republicans are trying so hard to make this a political issue instead of a class issue.

18. The most dangerous people are those with nothing left to lose.

19. The right is so stupid to freak out about her saying this.

    It’s not an endorsement of Brian Thompson’s murder, it’s just a commentary on human nature.

20. This reminds me of the tagline from the video game Max Payne: “Do not cross a man with nothing to lose”

21. Finally one of our politicians is willing to say it.

22. How about the people that have been disenfranchised by the electoral college “stop the steal” of democracy by the participation prize oligarchs?

    It’s legal now!

23. As usual, she’s right.

24. Finally a not literally brain dead take from a politician on this.

25. You can only kick a caged dog so much, before it bites. And they’ve been kicking for a real long time and the cage keeps getting smaller. Either the dogs gonna start biting or the dogs gonna die

26. Take away peaceful pathways to change and all that is left are violent pathways to change.

27. The Democrats would have won if they pushed progressive policy like universal health care.

28. Hey Liz, there are probably people out there that think politicians have pushed them too far as well.

29. From a democrat, THIS is a dramatic warning? JFC.

30. Warren is trying to save these robber barons from their own greed. “Give them bread and circuses and they will never revolt.” We’ve got entertainment but you forgot about the bread you ghouls!

31. If my wife suffered through months or years of agony while some insurance company dicked me around? Without my wife I’d definitely see it as nothing to lose.
