This is what he did Monday morning.
Trump raises conspiracy theory to attack MSNBC's Scarborough
The story:
President Trump on Monday referred to the accidental death of an intern in former Rep. Joe Scarborough’s office to take a shot at the MSNBC “Morning Joe” host, who the president has frequently feuded with during his time in office.
“‘Concast’ should open up a long overdue Florida Cold Case against Psycho Joe Scarborough,” Trump wrote on Twitter, using a derogatory nickname for the Comcast company, which owns MSNBC.
“I know him and Crazy Mika well, used them beautifully in the last Election, dumped them nicely, and will state on the record that he is ‘nuts’. Besides, bad ratings! #OPENJOECOLDCASE,” he added.
This is just the latest example of Trump attacking Scarborough over the death of Lori Klausutis, a 28-year-old intern for the commentator when he was a GOP congressman representing a district in Florida.
Klausutis died in 2001 in Scarborough’s district office. A local medical examiner ruled the death an accident, saying Klausutis had collapsed and hit her head on the side of a desk. She had an undiagnosed heart condition, according to the medical examiner, and the head trauma caused a fatal blood clot.
Scarborough responded to the president's tweet on the air Monday morning, ripping him for dragging Klausutis’s family through the mud.
“You, once again, drag a family through this and make them relive it again, just like Seth Rich’s parents,” Scarborough said in reference to a former Democratic National Committee staffer killed in Washington, D.C., in July 2016.
Police determined that Rich was shot and killed as part of a robbery, but conspiracy theories suggesting ulterior motives have circulated among the far-right.
“As if losing a loved one the first time isn’t enough,” Scarborough added. “But this weekend, my God. You were supposed to have a working weekend. You got it wrong again....”
This President makes it clear again and again, there is no "too low" to which he won't stoop.
And it's a long, long way to November 3.
Thanks, Republicans.
