The socialist wing of the Democratic Party is a little too eager to show its communist roots these days, with its most prominent members all but outright saying UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson deserved to be killed.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) also soft-pedaled the killing of Thompson, effectively arguing that people are justified in wanting to murder healthcare executives. All three of their statements included insincere throat-clearing about how violence is bad but that this is all really the fault of the healthcare industry. (All emphasis in quotes added.)
