HuffPost
The "Weekend Update" host spotted "two main reactions" to the deadly shooting of the UnitedHealthcare CEO that "really" say something about America.
Colin Jost kicked off “Weekend Update” on Saturday by giving a shoutout to New York City officials for sending a “tough message” on crime as the gunman who shot and killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson remains at large.
“If you shoot somebody in the middle of the street, you better get on your bike, hop on a bus and get the heck out of here, mister,” joked the “Weekend Update” host.
He also spotted how the aftermath of the shooting “really says something about America.”
“A guy was murdered in cold blood and the two main reactions were, ‘Yeah, well healthcare stinks,’ and also, ‘Girl, that shooter hot,’” Jost said.
The manhunt continues for the suspected gunman who officials say took off from the scene of the deadly shooting via bicycle on Wednesday and headed toward Central Park only to later take a taxi cab to a Port Authority bus center.
