Commentators like the New York Times’ Bret Stephens have called slain CEO Brian Thompson a “working-class hero.” You don’t have to condone murder to see through that ridiculous claim about a man who was at the helm of a legalized extortion racket.
They’re talking about Thompson, the guy that got shot. He is the one they are trying to paint as a working class hero because he wasn’t born wealthy. It’s just ignoring the reality of life in America and his part in it.
Doesn’t matter that he came from money. He saw an imbalance of power and did something about it.
