Fox News hosts Sandra Smith and Jeanine Pirro criticized Republican state Delegate Nino Mangione of Maryland after his cousin, Luigi Mangione, was arrested for the murder of CEO executive Brian Thompson. "Another twist in this story, this just into our newsroom, the suspect's cousin is a Maryland State Delegate," Smith reported Monday. "So this is now being confirmed, the suspect's cousin is a Maryland State Delegate, Antonio D. Mangione, goes by Nino. How was it possible there wasn't anyone, anywhere in the country who was saying, that person's in my family, I know that guy?" she said.

Former FBI investigator Bill Daly said it was "quite surprising that it took a McDonald's employee in Pennsylvania to identify this person."

"How does anybody who is related to this person not say, I know that guy, and call the police?" Smith asked Pirro.

"Well, that is certainly a very relevant question," Pirro agreed. "Once a guy at McDonald's can pick up the phone and a relative and someone who is in a particular job where he's working for the government, essentially, and for the people, can't, you know you've got a problem."

1. It's none of their gd business.

I'm sure the people in that family are in quite a bit of pain right now.

[newdeal2]

2. I hope that same grace is extended to the victim's family

[blue neen]

4. I agree.

Horrible situation for all.

6. The insurance guy was a horrible human being...I have very little concern for him.

I imagine the thousands of victims of his insurance basically a scam had family too...he and this shitty company didn't give a damn about them.

11. The shooter's family was wealthy. We don't know if the nursing homes they owned were good nursing homes.

Did they treat the patients well? Did they cut corners?

[NoRethugFriends]

12. Nah

[tanyev]

3. I just asked that in another thread.

As soon as the full face picture came out, someone in the family should have contacted law enforcement. Maybe they did and we don’t have all the facts yet?

5. Ive got

cousins spilling over the side of the wagon, and there are many that I haven't seen in a couple of decades. This is a ridiculous association to make. Unless I see some evidence that these people were very close and familiar, this is just fox being Fox again.

And another note, have someone else take a photo of someone you know from above and see how easily you can recognize them. We rarely see people from that perspective, and faces look a lot different as you move around the axis. Again, fox is just being Fox again.

7. Good day for McDonald's employee. Makes $10K on the tip to the police.

[Renew Deal]

15. $60

10 from the FBI and $50 from NYC

[moniss]

8. How did "Box of Wine"

not pick up the phone and call about her hubby?

[SWBTATTReg]

9. Hmmm, wonder if the copycats will come out of the woodwork now? We go through these vast election

routines, and it doesn't really seem to really affect anything, do anything, etc., other than keeping the status quote the same, same tax rates for the super rich (as usual), tax laws still in place for the super rich to retain their earnings, while representatives fight to tax the meager earnings of the rest of us, even going so far to try and attack our meager social security, which we all paid into our whole working lives into.

And anytime a 'rich' person states their opinion of fixing the tax code, how to, etc., My eyes get glossed over and I blank out. Why in the hell do I want to listen to the POS state how they want to 'fix' the tax code? They are so f**King biased that it stinks to high hell. They should be the last person on Earth to be asked and they are the least important person to listen to, in fixing our messed up tax code.

But, will the powers that be ever do this, concentrate on what we want, instead of tRUMP and Muskrat and the other 1%ers? No, I fear not.

10. He's quite the conservative Republican. They're going to walk this back in 3... 2... 1...

13. I accidentally stumbled on the freeper site.

antifa for sure.
Good looks will appeal to trans.

Probably a lot more bullshit by now.

[Renew Deal]

14. The police were withholding his identity

So how do the drunks at Fox know they didn’t call?

[Cha]

16. Someone ask Nino

How he likes fox Screws Now

17. If it's a big Italian family - he might not know.

4 to 6 kids per generation from Grandpa and Grandma on Dad's side, you can easily end up with 40 to 80 cousins.
Laz has 23 direct cousins between his Mom's two other sisters and Dad's two sisters, and an additional 40-odd second cousins born just on his maternal side, as his direct cousins decided to pitch together, buy a hill, and start a church to do "good deeds".
His grandma asked one of his cousins why the cousin had 11 kids (including 2 sets of twins) with his wife always being so tired...he said "I don't know, guess the Good Lord Blessed us". She said "The Good Lord had nothing to do with you not being able to keep your pants on."

18. One of my cousins spent some time as a crack whore.

I mean, a drug-addicted sex-worker.

Does that make me somehow responsible for her?
