Fox News Co-Hosts Debate Whether Luigi Mangione Is Attractive: ‘His Eyebrows Are Horrible’
The co-hosts of Fox News’s The Five debated whether accused UnitedHealthcare CEO killer Luigi Mangione is attractive, weighing in on his eyebrows and “bad boy” personality.
During a discussion on Wednesday’s show about Mangione, who is accused of shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson to death in Manhattan last week, co-host Jesse Watters declared, “I just don’t think the guy is that good-looking.”
“I don’t, either!” replied Dana Perino. “His eyebrows are horrible.”
Watters then said:
I took a poll of my staff for females today and they said he was average. But what’s attractive about him is the vigilantism, and Jeanine touched on it, I touched on it, women like the bad boy. Now, I don’t know anything about women, so I had to call a few women to find out why, but they want to save the bad guy. Maybe Dana’s dated guys like this. Maybe Peter is a bad guy, we don’t know. But if you see damaged goods, women think that they can reform him and they can make him better, if only they could get their hands on him and he’ll be all right.
“I am definitely not like that,” insisted Perino. “I want nothing to do with that.”
“Dana doesn’t like the bad boys. More for you, judge,” replied Watters. “There’s also another part of this, too, because women like the fact that the guy had a mission, that the guy stood for something, because in this society, all these guys walking around, they don’t care about anything.”
He argued, “This guy stood for something in a social justice crusader kind of way, and for many women, that’s attractive, and I don’t understand it.”
“Come on, Jesse,” concluded Jeanine Pirro.
Since Mangione’s arrest this week, many social media users have expressed support for the suspect and complimented his appearance.
On Tuesday, CNN anchor Jim Acosta criticized “young people out there who are going online and talking about the suspect’s appearance.”
Fox News co-host and former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany also called out comedians and social media users for talking about Mangione’s looks, declaring, “It’s not funny. That’s not humor to me. This is a alleged murderer.”
On Wednesday, it was reported that Mangione’s fingerprints had been matched to those taken at the scene of the crime. During his arrest, police reportedly discovered a manifesto, a firearm, and several fake IDs.
