After the alleged murderer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was caught on Tuesday, MSNBC’s Joy Reid was extra Joy Reid-y on The ReidOut. She gleefully noted that people on the internet are not angry at the murder, and when she welcomed progressive author and radio host Thom Hartmann, wondered how such reactions could be made in the same country that just elected Donald Trump. For his part, Hartmann declared that the reason why America does not have a socialist healthcare system is because of racism.

Reid would eventually ask Hartmann, “It is so ironic to me that people, left and right, are mad at UnitedHealthcare but voted to make America run by UnitedHealthcare, your thoughts?”
Hartmann agreed, “It is totally nuts, Joy, you are absolutely right. Corporations are—if corporations actually were people, they would be psychopaths, you know, they have no conscience, they have no consideration for other people's feelings, in fact, they don't have the ability to feel other people's feelings, and that is how they’re designed.”
