Ted Cruz has sparked online debate by labeling Luigi Mangione, the suspected killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO, as a "leftist," a claim that has been contradicted by Mangione's social media posts praising conservative and decrying the "woke mind virus."
Mangione, a 26-year-old Ivy League graduate, was arrested as a person of interest in the killing of Brian Thompson. After his arrest, a wave of online support painted him as a sort of hero, while critics speculated about his political alignment.
