Liberal commentator Krystal Ball cracked that alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson would not build the army of followers Luigi Mangione did because he’s ‘not as good-looking.’
Ball was discussing the reaction to Robinson, 22, on her YouTube show Breaking Points when guest Emily Jashinsky talked about the disturbing trend of killers who gain cult followings.
‘You end up with a Charles Manson cult around someone, a cult following where people are obsessed and get fixated on someone in prison.’
Jashinsky then diverted to Mangione, currently accused of shooting healthcare executive Brian Thompson to death on a New York City street last December.
‘Even Mangione, you see some of this after he said he was innocent which means you could really be misdirecting people in different ways. Hopefully, that doesn’t happen here.’
Ball responded: ‘Well, he’s not as good-looking as Mangione so he’ll be less inspirational to people.’
As Jashinsky held her head in her hands, Ball doubled down: ‘Tell me I’m wrong!’
Conservatives latched on to Ball’s joke, with former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani forcefully questioning Jashinsky after the clip went viral.
