Florida family grieves as Trump spreads debunked conspiracy theory to attack MSNBC host
A little after 8 a.m. on July 20, 2001, a couple arriving for an appointment opened an unlocked front door at an office in the Florida panhandle town of Fort Walton Beach and discovered a woman lying on the floor, dead. Her name was Lori Kaye Klausutis and she was just 28.
The police said they found no signs of foul play. The medical examiner concluded her lonely death was an accident. She had fainted, the result of a heart condition, and hit her head on a desk, he said.
Now, nearly 20 years later, Klausutis’s death has captured the attention of the country’s most prominent purveyor of conspiracy theories — the president of the United States — who has without evidence speculated that she might have been murdered and that the case should be reopened.
The reason for President Trump’s fixation: At the time of her death, Klausutis was working for a Republican congressman from Pensacola named Joe Scarborough — the same Scarborough who today, as host of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, is a fierce critic of Trump and has in recent weeks decried the president’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic as a failure.

Once he's out of office (because they certainly won't now), twitter has no excuse not to ban him other than their own greed. He is a parasite. When he dies, there needs to be celebrations. He is an enemy of decency.

Can you imagine if Obama spent weeks tweeting about Bill O'Reilly and his deviant sexual behavior?

Jack Dorsey is trending because people want the tweet deleted at the very least. Trump is such garbage surpassed only by his cockroach supporters.

Anything you say after this that Trump has done, no, I can't even imagine it. My mind can imagine a lot, but never Obama doing anything Trump does right down to eating complete shit.

Everyone should turn their backs on Twitter. It is so fucking destructive. It has warped the “news”.
I’m sick of assholes who USE twitter complaining.

Haven't had an account in probably five years. I read tweets, but no account of my own.

Kayleigh MAGAninnny and her cross necklace doubled down on this during her press lie-a-thon just a little while ago. Her answer to every question about it was that Joe Scaraborough laughed in an interview with Don Imus about it.

It's funny how issues turn 180 degrees when the facts haven't changed at all. It hasn't been that many years since user comments regarding Scarborough on democraticunderground, kos, and DL would regularly include murder suggestions nobody believed were debunked. At the same time the rightie forums would respond in loud outrage to the reckless insinuations and assumed "facts".

R13, it's one thing for idiots on the left and right doing it, but when that fucking idiot is the president of the United States, it's a whole other level of crazy.
He is a diseased, parasitic creature currently infecting the oval office. The place will have to be fumigated when he leaves.

It's amazing that Trump lies and lies and lies and the right just pretends all is fine.

...or they tell you "look over there at the left!" using an example which is in no way even close to what Trump has done. Like trying to get "Biden is a racist" trending. Like, are you deplorable shits serious? The very reason you suck off Trump is because he's practically a grand wizard. It's like a crackhead who snorts coke while shooting heroin pointing to the guy who just took CBD oil and calling him a drug addict.

Ok stupid question, and I’m even hesitant to post this, but I’m just curious. Why on earth was there any thought that Joe Scarborough was involved in this woman’s death? Was he even in the office when it happened?

Political games. If we're going to be honest, the left initially pushed this nonsense (and I include myself). It was kind of our "pizzagate." A flippant knock at the right-wing.
But now, being fucking sheep who eat Trump's shit and say it tastes like chocolate ice cream, the deplorables now think it's true because Joe was "mean" to Trump so of course he's a murderer.
I still fucking hate Scarborough and his wife for giving an endless platform to that orange garbage, but he's not a murderer.
