Proposed ballot measure in blue state raises eyebrows over who it's named after: 'Road side lunatics'

"What" Rob Pyers, research director for California Target Book, posted on X.

"A proposed ballot initiative has been filed in California entitled "The Luigi Mangioni (sic) Access to Health Care Act." Actually," Los Angeles-based conservative activist Elizabeth Barcohana said.

"THE LUIGI MANGIONI (sic) ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE ACT" Seriously???? A ballot initiative about health care submitted today to the California Attorney General is named after the accused killer. Crazy," author Gerald Posner wrote.

"I'm starting to suspect the Democrats in charge of California might actually just be simple road side (sic) lunatics after all," Ruthless Podcast Executive Producer Leigh Wolf said on X.

Mangione reportedly faced "chronic back pain," according to Honolulu Civil Beat, and issues after a spinal procedure.

"In this alleged circumstance, you have a 26-year-old, fit guy that has an injury and needs care," she added. "And he may reflect his pain on someone else or blame it on someone else. And [that] can escalate to a point of suicidal or even homicidal thoughts."

Mangione is currently charged with murder by both New York and the federal government, and he has pleaded not guilty.
