Maryland State Delegate Nino Mangione, who is the cousin of UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect Luigi Mangione, made an announcement on Tuesday regarding the cancellation of a political fundraiser. In a statement posted on Facebook, the Republican delegate expressed his decision to cancel the fundraising event that was originally scheduled to take place at Hayfields Country Club on Thursday.
Delegate Mangione cited the tragic nature of the situation involving his cousin as the reason for postponing the event. He emphasized that given the circumstances, it would not be appropriate to proceed with the fundraiser at this time. He expressed his gratitude for the outpouring of thoughts, prayers, and support that he and his family have received during this difficult time.
In his message, Delegate Mangione also extended his condolences to the family of the victim, Mr. Thompson, and requested that others keep them in their prayers as well. He acknowledged the heartbreak that his family is experiencing in light of the situation and emphasized the need for compassion and support for all those affected.
The decision to postpone the fundraiser reflects Delegate Mangione's sensitivity to the gravity of the situation and his commitment to honoring the memory of the victim. While no new date has been announced for the event, he indicated that it would be rescheduled for a more appropriate time in the future.
