Chris Rock on the UnitedHealthcare CEO murder, "You know, sometimes drug dealers get shot"
In his monologue, Chris Rock brought up the assassination incident of UnitedHeadlcare's CEO, Brian Thompson, and said:
"I really feel sorry for the family. Everybody’s fixated on how good-looking this guy looks. If he looked like Jonah Hill, no one would care. They’d already given him the chair already, he’d be dead. But he actually killed a man... a man with a family, a man with kids. I have condolences. This is a real person, you know? But you also got to go".
He added, "You know, sometimes drug dealers get shot".
