Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is under a heap of scrutiny after comments she made about the murder of a health insurance executive.

According to a report in Politico, Warren condemned the Dec. 4 murder of United HealthCare CEO Brian Thompson on a Manhattan street.

“We’ll say it over and over,” Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” “Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who’s allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands.”

She has since attempted to clarify what she said — apparently justifying the violence — in a statement to Politico.

“Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder,” Warren said.

Many, including House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), have called Warren’s words “inappropriate and dangerous,” per Politico.

Forbes Media chairman Steve Forbes called Warren’s apparent justification of Thompson’s murder “a moral rot of the left” in an interview on Fox News.

Many others criticized Warren for her remarks.

“Warren is a disaster for her party, a disaster for America, and a disaster for the basic human decency that we are entitled to expect from our politicians — no ifs or buts apply,” National Review’s Charles C. W. Cooke wrote.
