Left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore declared that the anger shown towards the health care industry is justified and that he wanted to fuel that anger in a new post. Writing on his Substack page Friday, Moore noted he doesn’t condone murder, but insisted that the rage that people feel towards the industry should be amplified in the wake of the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. 'The anger is 1000% justified. It is long overdue for the media to cover it. It is not new.
Moore’s article indicated he was in the latter camp. 'In his manifesto, he references how I’ve ‘illuminated the corruption and greed,’ implying folks should go to my work to understand the complexity — and the power-hungry abuse — within our current system,' Moore wrote, adding that since being mentioned in the suspect's manifesto, he’s been constantly asked if he condemns Thompson’s killing.
