Socialist UPenn professor’s sickening celebration post about UnitedHealthcare CEO’s death

A University of Pennsylvania professor is being slammed for sharing social media posts celebrating the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the school’s connection to the crime.

Alumni Luigi Mangione, 26, was arrested Monday and charged with murder for the Dec. 4 killing.

Assistant professor of English and cinema and media studies Julia Alekseyeva, who described herself as a “socialist and ardent anti-fascist” at her websitemade several messages embracing Mangione.

In a since-deleted Tiktok, Alekseyeva laughs as the Les Miserables song “Can You Hear the People Singing?” played.

“Have never been prouder to be a professor at the University of Pennsylvania,” she captioned the post, replacing the “e” in Pennsylvania with the number 3.

Upenn graduate Eyal Yakoby also shared a screenshot of the English professor’s Instagram story speculating about Mangione’s sexuality. “The icon we all need and deserve,” she said.

Critics blasted Alekseyeva for the unsavory posts and demanded responsibility from the school.

Father of two Brian Thompson, 50, was shot and killed outside a New York City hotel on December 4

“She’s happy that an unbalanced 26-year-old just cowardly murdered a family man and threw away his own life at the same time. There are no winners here. Blue hair dye is toxic to the brain,” said one person.

“This behavior is absolutely disgusting,” said another. “This woman should be fired and shunned,” a third person said.

Last week, Columbia University professor Anthony Zenkus sparked outrage with his distasteful response to Thompson’s murder.

Zenkus, a professor of social work at Columbia and Adelphi University, implied people should not mourn Thompson’s death.

“Today we mourn the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, shot… Wait, I’m sorry – today we mourn the deaths of the 68,000 Americans who die needlessly every year so that insurance company execs like Brian Thompson can become Multi-millionaires,” he said.

Furious commentators called out Zenkus for brushing off the father-of-two’s gruesome murder and blaming him for the deaths of others.

‘This is incredibly insensitive. He is a father who was shot in the street. Have some compassion and humanity,” one person said.

“It simply doesn’t matter to heartless hypocrites like you that he had a wife and two children, as long as you get a murder in the cause of your proletariat. Perhaps he worked to prevent unnecessary deaths. You don’t know and I don’t care,” said another.

Upenn Alumni Luigi Mangione, 26, was arrested Monday and charged with murder for the Dec. 4 deaths

Mangione was taken into custody on gun charges Monday afternoon at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, five days after he allegedly shot and killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Thompson, 50, outside a Manhattan hotel.

A friend of the accused shooter told DailyMail.com Mangione was ‘anti-wok’ and that he expressed a deep envy for the UK’s nationalized health system.

Gurwinder Bhogal, a UK-based writer, said: ‘He was left-wing on some things and right-wing on others, for example, he was pro-equality of opportunity, but anti-wok: for example, anti-dei (and) Anti-identity politics.

“He opposed it because he didn’t believe it was an effective way to help minorities.

‘He showed an interest in more rational, evidence-based forms of compassion, such as effective altruism.’

“We briefly touched on the differences between the UK and US healthcare systems,” Bhogal added.

‘Luigi complained about how expensive healthcare was in the US and expressed envy at the UK’s nationalized health system.’
