Fetterman blasts liberal magazine for calling UnitedHealthcare CEO murder 'inevitable'

"The public execution of an innocent man and father of two is indefensible, not 'inevitable.' Condoning and cheering this on says more about YOU than the situation of health insurance," he added.

Reactions to Thompson's death have poured in across the web and in the media, with some speculating outrage over denied coverage perhaps inspired the event, including New York magazine's article titled "The Shooting That Was Inevitable. Our political system is breaking down. Now it has killed."

"Christopher McNaughton needed care for his ulcerative colitis, which had already caused him to develop arthritis, diarrhea, fatigue, and blood clots that could kill him. The disease was one problem; his insurance company, UnitedHealthcare, soon proved to be another," the article began, setting the stage for a discussion about health issues that have gone unaddressed as a result of denied or shoddy coverage.

Fox News Digital reached out to New York magazine for comment but did not receive an immediate response.
