While it is a topic that many feel passionate about, it is not a reason to kill a husband and father—who Mangione had no direct ties to—in cold blood.

He shot him in the back. Do you need to know anything else?

Now CNN’s Kaitlan Collins has apparently gotten into the mix, according to reports:

CNN chief White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins apparently deleted a social media post after receiving backlash for appearing to promote a defense fund for Luigi Mangione, the alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO killer.

In the post on X, Collins showed a link to a new website launched by defense lawyers for Mangione, who faces charges of first-degree murder in furtherance of an act of terrorism, stalking and other state and federal charges in New York and Pennsylvania for allegedly gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan on Dec. 4, 2024. Thompson was a married father of two.

Mangione, 26, who was born into a wealthy Maryland family, was arrested at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pa., on Dec. 9 after a multi-state manhunt. Following his arrest, followers donated over $300,000 for his legal defense.
