> The poll by CloudResearch found that 27% of U.S. adults expressed “moderate” or “a lot” of sympathy for Mangione.

> A smaller but significant share of adults, 12%, said they were supportive of the decision to murder Brian Thompson, 50, who was shot in New York on Dec. 4.

12% is basically zero in this country. To give you a frame of reference, 14% of people think Obama is antichrist

The former DHS head seems to think it’s a lot of people. Don’t know any other murderers who have 27% of the population having sympathy for them.

12% is not basically zero.
