During the most recent episode of HBO’s Real Time, host Bill Maher targeted the left for pivoting from supporting gun control to supporting Luigi Mangione and other alleged assassins.
He began this portion of his monologue by saying, “And finally, Luigi Mangione, Cole Tomas Allen, Tyler Robinson, and the ghost of Thomas Crooks must form a boy band called ‘New Kids on the Glock.’”
Mangione allegedly shot and killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on Dec. 4, 2024, Cole Tomas Allen allegedly attacked the April 25, 2026, White House Correspondents Dinner while armed with a shotgun and a handgun, Tyler Robinson allegedly assassinated Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025, and Thomas Crooks allegedly attempted to assassinate President Trump on July 13, 2024, in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Maher observed, “These are not your father’s political assassins. Things have changed. For one thing, today’s assassins have popular support with the kids.”
