Filmmaker Lexi Alexander is facing backlash after appearing to mock the death of Bank of America executive Erin Piacenti with a Luigi Mangione meme. Piacenti was fatally stabbed in an attack in New York City’s Times Square Monday by a woman carrying a knife who also wounded another person. After the initial wave of criticism, Alexander pivots to focusing on Bank of America's support for Israel, pointing to the bank's positive assessment of the country. When critics push back, she dismisses them as "hasbara bots," claiming Israel cares about the bank's favorable stance because "there is huge money at stake."
