She then wrote another comment poking fun of how Mangione was recognized by a McDonald's employee who called the police
Mangione is also facing three gun charges and forgery in New York.
He remains jailed in Pennsylvania on charges of possession of an unlicensed firearm, forgery and providing false identification to police.
Mangione was arrested in an Altoona McDonald's on Monday after cops 'immediately recognized' him as the suspect in the murder.
Mangione is an 'anti-capitalist' Ivy League graduate.
He was taken into custody after a McDonald's employee in Altoona, around 100 miles east of Pittsburgh, believed they recognized him as the gunman, five days after he allegedly shot and killed Thompson, outside of a Manhattan hotel.
Sources told DailyMail.com that several staff members noticed the masked man, who sat quietly reading after ordering a drink from the fast food establishment.
One employee then called the authorities after a customer also mentioned quietly to them that he resembled the man that authorities had been hunting for nearly a week.
When police arrived, they found the suspect wearing a medical mask and looking at a silver laptop computer, with his backpack on the floor near the table, according to charging documents.
He proceeded to give officers a New Jersey driver's license bearing the name Mark Rosario with the birth date of July 21, 1998.
When a cop then asked him if he had been to New York recently, he 'began to shake,' the charging documents say.

Mangione is an 'anti-capitalist' Ivy League graduate. It is believed Mangione was angry at the way the medical insurance industry treated a sick relative, according to the New York Post
Officers soon realized the New Jersey driver's license was a fake, at which point a cop advised him that he was under official police investigation and if he lied about his identity, he would be arrested.
Upon hearing this, Mangione allegedly provided officers with his true identity, and when a cop asked why he lied about his name, the suspect is said to have replied, 'I clearly shouldn't have.'
Mangione ultimately went calmly and quietly with officers outside of the McDonald's, and staff members said there was minimal disruption to their work day.
He reportedly had a 3D-printed ghost gun similar to the one used in the Wednesday morning murder, along with a gun silencer, a manifesto, and four fake IDs when he was arrested by cops.
Thompson was in the Big Apple to host UnitedHealthcare's annual investor meeting, where he was set to detail the insurance company's massive profits for the year.
Surveillance camera footage showed him walking outside a Hilton hotel in midtown Manhattan when he was shot at point-blank range by three bullets.
The shell casings were later found to have the words 'deny,' 'defend', 'depose' written on them, in an apparent attack on health insurance practices.
The suspected killer is the heir to a holiday resort fortune created by his grandparents - and the brother of a top doctor.
It is believed Mangione was angry at the way the medical insurance industry treated a sick relative, according to the New York Post.
New York City police had been searching for the shooter for days before Mangione was arrested
Further details on that relative or their identity have not been shared, although online obituaries show Mangione lost a grandmother in 2013 and a grandfather in 2017.
His X account also shows an x-ray of a complicated neck surgery.
Mangione is also said to have had a manifesto on him when he was arrested, which reportedly mentioned UnitedHealthcare by name, noting the grandiose size of the company and how much profits it makes.
The manifesto went on to condemn health insurance companies more broadly for placing profits over care, the Times reports.
Mangione is now due back in court for a preliminary hearing on December 23.
