A GOP Illinois Representative has demanded that Donald Trump stop pushing a conspiracy theory that MSNBC anchor Joe Scarborough had something to do with the death of his intern while he was in Congress.
Trump renewed theories about Morning Joe anchor Scarborough on Sunday morning by questioning how a marathon runner could fall, hit her head and die.
It led to the family of Lori Klausutis revealing they are living in fear of retaliation from conspiracy theorists if they comment, but Republican Adam Kinzinger has called for the president to cease mentioning it.
'A lot of interest in this story about Psycho Joe Scarborough. So a young marathon runner just happened to faint in his office, hit her head on his desk, & die? I would think there is a lot more to this story than that? An affair? What about the so-called investigator? Read story!' Trump tweeted alongside a link Sunday morning.
The previous evening Trump had tweeted a link to an article featuring his own comments on the 2001 death.
Before becoming a cable news host, Scarborough was a Republican House member who represented Florida's 1st congressional district.
She died in 2001 at the office after falling and hitting her head. Doctors ruled her death an accident as a result of an undiagnosed heart arrhythmia.
But a conspiracy theory that she had been romantically involved with Scarborough and that her death was not an accident has swirled and been fanned repeatedly in recent weeks by Trump.

The pain that this is causing the family isn’t worth it.
Then again, if it causes Banjo Boy some discomfort, maybe I am wrong.
I agree. The president has had his fun, gotten his revenge, so it’s time to back off. Focus on other matters, meaning other targets.
Talk about hyperbole.
Perhaps the president should say at each opportunity: “I have no evidence Mr. Scaroborough deliberately caused the mysterious death of the young woman interning in his office.
If I was her family I’d be thankful for what the President is doing. I’m sure they have their suspicions as well.
I agree with your agree.
I'm not a cadiologist, but how do you diagnose an arythmia after death? Arterial blockage? Damaged valve? Weak muscle? Yes to all three, but don't you have to watch an active EKG to diagnose the existence of an arythmia?
The way I heard it, the room was locked from the inside - they found the body when they forced the door.
Condit dodged this in large part due to 9/11.
The coronor in this case is a shady character.
If it causes Joe and Mika unhappiness or stress while he tweets about this then I say stay at it. These two people are vile evil persons and should be sent home in anguish....
Yeh....it probably WON’T destroy us, but it is just one little example of things Trump foolishly likes to do out of habit, that cumulatively will hurt him and us in the long run. He has taken so much crap, so many slings and arrows for the last 3 1/2 years,apparently he just needs to have “some fun”-—but it’s counterproductive-—didn’t I just see something yesterday also about a conciliatory overture by Scarborough towards Trump, asking people to start supporting him?
Doors that are locked from the inside generally allow the door to be opened from the inside, and once the occupant leaves, the door closes and remains locked.
It has to be that way because of potential lawsuits.
Maybe Adam Kinzinger would care to remark on the Democrats’ claim that Trump is responsible for 90,000 American deaths.
What skeletons are in Adam Kinzinger’s closet?
“didn’t I just see something yesterday also about a conciliatory overture by Scarborough towards Trump, asking people to start supporting him?”
****
Man, you’re soft.
haven’t you learned anything??? Leftards say something and do the opposite. From Bill Maher etc, they say ONE thing which we agree on and the other 99% are as expected.
Do not leave your guard down. If a liberal was holding a knife, I would NOT let my eyes off them for one second..
I should add that the door being locked doesn’t eliminate the possibility of a second person being in the room when the death occurred.
It has to be that way because of potential lawsuits.

20 years ago also?
I missed seeing where PDJT called it “murder.”
I also missed where PDJT said or implied there was a conspiracy.
Does Adam Kinzinger not think?
I really don’t care for people thinking that using that phrase “conspiracy theory” automatically puts a monkey on your target’s back. It doesn’t, except in the minds of programmed drones.
