President Trump: ‘Investigate’ Joe Scarborough’s Dead Congressional Intern

In the wake of Wednesday’s firing of Matt Lauer, the longtime co-anchor of NBC’s flagship morning program The Today Show, President Trump wasted no time going for the kill against the left-wing network, including the revival of what the president described as an “unsolved mystery” involving MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough.

“So now that Matt Lauer is gone when will the Fake News practitioners at NBC be terminating the contract of Phil Griffin?” Trump tweeted, adding, “And will they terminate low ratings Joe Scarborough based on the “unsolved mystery” that took place in Florida years ago? Investigate!”

In an earlier tweet, Trump also called for the media to “Check out Andy Lack’s past!” Lack is the chairman of NBC News and MSNBC.

“Wow, Matt Lauer was just fired from NBC for “inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace,” Trump tweeted. “But when will the top executives at NBC & Comcast be fired for putting out so much Fake News. Check out Andy Lack’s past!”

The “mystery” involving the left-wing Scarborough’s dead intern, Lori Klausutis, is one of those things that has been floating around the Internet for quite a while now; something whispered about, something rarely spoken of out loud. In fact, after he mentioned the incident on Twitter back in 2010, left-wing blogger Markos Moulitsas was blackballed by MSNBC, where he had been a regular contributor.

In July of 2001, Lori Klausutis was just 28-years-old when she was found dead in Scarborough’s congressional district office. The Morning Joe co-host was a sitting Republican congressman at the time. The coroner ruled that the intern fainted due to a heart irregularity. Her death was caused by her head hitting a desk when she fell. She was alone in the office at the time.

Two months later, less than a year into his fourth term, Scarborough abruptly resigned from congress citing his desire to spend more time with his family.

It should be noted that just as there is no evidence that Trump colluded with Russia, there is also no evidence of any wrongdoing on Scarborough’s part with respect to Klausutis. This is just another example of Trump using the media’s own tactics against them — something that never ceases to freak the left-wing media out. They are simply not used to a Republican who fights back.

If Russia is fair game, why not Scarborough’s dead intern? After all, Scarborough has been a leading conspiracy theorist regarding all things Trump.

Scarborough responded to Trump’s Wednesday tweet with this:
