Shock: ‘NBC Nightly News’ Runs Story About Far-Left’s Acceptance of Political Violence
22nd September 2025
Arguably buried given it aired on Friday’s show, NBC Nightly News nonetheless offered a shocking full segment that conceded the truth there’s “growing support for political violence among the ‘younger, highly online, and ideologically left aligned’” that’s included support for Luigi Mangione, the assassination attempts on President Trump, and the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
The piece tried to insert a disclaimer for their liberal base that “both sides are now radicalized,” but the tone was unmistakable.”
Anchor Tom Llamas set the table: “We turn to the rise of political violence in this country. Among young people who spend a lot of time online, support for violent acts is now growing.”
Correspondent Stephanie Gosk came out of the gate with the reality about the broad support for Mangione: “Soon after Luigi Mangione was accused of killing United Health Care CEO Brian Thompson, the memes started celebrating the cold-blooded murder, treating the alleged killer like a hero.”
Network Contagion Research Institute’s Max Horder backed this up by refusing to join in the left’s troubling lionizing of him: “He’s become a symbol for this really enormous and radical and maybe unprecedented change in American culture.”
