Jeanine Pirro Cautions Jesse Watters Over Dark Take On CEO Shooting Suspect
HuffPost
"You should stop there," the Fox News host told her colleague.
Jesse Watters on Monday suggested it would be a good thing if the suspect in the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson, was killed in prison, prompting a word of warning from his fellow Fox News host Jeanine Pirro.
Law enforcement arrested Luigi Mangione, 26, in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on Monday, in connection to last week’s shooting outside a Manhattan hotel. He was charged with second-degree murder as well as three gun charges and forgery.
“This guy was obviously looking for notoriety. And good, he’s got it. Now, he’s a prep school kid. He’s politically connected in Maryland,” Watters said on “The Five” of the suspect, an Ivy League graduate from a prominent Maryland family.
“This guy’s not ready. He’s way too soft. He’s gonna get annihilated on the inside, and good,” Watters said. “If he’s not gonna get the death penalty, maybe someone will do him justice behind bars. That’s all I have to say about that.”
“You should stop there,” Pirro told him.
