Fox News Host Throws A Tantrum and Urges Employers to Spy on Workers’ Social Media Over Luigi Mangione Support

By Hoosier Enquirer Staff

The high-profile case of Luigi Mangione, an Ivy League graduate accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has sparked a heated national conversation, intertwining issues of corporate ethics, freedom of speech, and justice. While Mangione faces serious criminal charges, his critique of corporate America, allegedly outlined in documents found in his possession, has resonated with certain corners of the internet.

Social media platforms have become battlegrounds, with the hashtag #FreeLuigi trending widely as supporters—ranging from influencers to pop stars—express solidarity with Mangione. Merch bearing his image and slogans has become a popular symbol of defiance against perceived corporate greed.

Fox News Host Condemns Public Support

In a fiery segment on Fox News, host Emily Compagno lashed out at the online movement supporting Mangione. Calling it “sickening,” she urged employers, educators, and admissions officers to monitor social media accounts of those under their purview to determine if they are participating in the trend.

“If you are an employer, boss, teacher, or part of admissions anywhere in the country, check the social media of those under your supervision,” Compagno said on air. “Participating in the online hailing of an alleged murderer is sickening. We need to hold people accountable for the content they share.”

Compagno argued that glorifying Mangione distracts from honoring Thompson’s life and legacy, insisting the public and media should instead focus on the tragedy of his death.

Public Backlash Over Compagno’s Remarks

Compagno’s call for social media surveillance sparked widespread criticism, with many accusing Fox News of hypocrisy, given its vocal opposition to censorship. One viewer commented, “Fox News spent years railing against ‘cancel culture,’ and now they’re endorsing spying on employees’ private lives? Unbelievable.”

Others pointed to the deeper societal tensions at play. “Mangione’s case touches a nerve because people feel exploited by corporations,” said a commenter on X (formerly Twitter). “This isn’t black-and-white—people can be angry about corporate greed and mourn Brian Thompson’s death at the same time.”

Mangione’s Arrest and Ongoing Investigation

Mangione was arrested at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, following a tip from the public. Authorities have charged him with multiple crimes, including murder, and continue to investigate his alleged motives. His case has ignited debates about the role of corporate power, wealth disparity, and justice in America.
