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.
(No mention of Scarborough lies about Trump)

That’s one of the very best and amazingly greatest memes EVER!!
I disagree.
I heard Epstein’s door was locked too.
Trump once again has a plan.
Wasn’t Adam with John McCain and Lindsey Graham and Amy Klobuchar in Ukraine?
This isn’t the first time Kinzinger has revealed he’s of the McCain/Romney/Flake/Kasich wing of the GOP.
Leave it alone MR President
Reduce the name calling
Instead hit them over the head with their lack of caring for the middle class. Hypocrisy on saving lives while celebrating abortion
that they don’t care about the working class that they haven’t done squat since he’s been in office just obstruct conspire and Divide
Bash them as a group with Pelosi and Schumer at the helm they don’t Give a rats behind about anybody but him selves
Leave Scarborough alone he’s just a Fool.
Reach out to the middle of class and keep pointing that Dims care only about themselves
This “affair” smells worse than a bait sack on “Deadliest Catch”!
Yo, concern troll FReepers:
Do you have any idea who Trump is up against?
These bastards smeared Trump as a rapist when he merely used a metaphor for how easy it is for rich men to get any woman they want on a leaked interview tape.
When Joe was still a Republican, the Dems were all over this story.
Back in 2011 Joe had Markos Moulitsas, the founder of the Daily Kos, banned from MSNBC after a Twitter fight where Markos brought up the subject of the dead intern.
Joe will always be hearing about it one way or the other from either side of the politic aisle.
You don't. It's a supposition that should be based upon either previous knowledge of an arrhythmia in that patient, or anatomic/histological, or previous electrocardiographic criteria that predispose to arrhythmias (as you point out).
If she had, on autopsy, a cardiomyopathy that predisposed her to arrhythmia (e.g. hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, a dilated cardiomyopathy, etc.) then this would be a reasonable assumption. Coronary disease would be very unusual and rare in a healthy young woman of her age, unless she had some type of congenital coronary anomaly. In any case, these would be found during autopsy.
There are conditions predisposing to arrhythmia, such as long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, active myocarditis, etc., but it's a reach to make these diagnoses without evidence (e.g. previous ECGs, autopsy histological data showing myocarditis, etc.).
The bottom line is that if there was adequate reason to make the diagnosis of 'arrhythmia' as the cause of death, then they should release that data and put this all to rest - for the families sake mainly.
They ALWAYS run this play. Always. The Clintonoid ”how-dare-you-upset-the-family-of-the-inconvenient-corpse-embarrassing-to-the-politically-connected” play.
They ran it for everyone from Vince Foster to Seth Rich and a dozen Arkancides in between.
In fact, this accusation is almost as reliable as fingerprints to indicate the accusation of murder is accurate.
Anyone who uses this ploy is playing for the wrong team.
Why stop there!
How about Vince Foster, Andrew Brietbart, Seth Rich, etc.
Hey RINOS leave Trump alone he KNOWS how to win which is something your sorry weak asses have forgotten how to do!! If you ALL hadn’t been in office since Moby Dick was a minnow you would ALL be a bunch of screaming LOSERS with no ideas or message so shut SHTFU and appoint judges which all you are good for!!!
These bastards smeared Trump as a rapist when he merely used a metaphor for how easy it is for rich men to get any woman they want on a leaked interview tape.
Thank you.
They were together in Syria too, meeting with the “moderate rebels” also known as Al Qaeda.
If ot were my daughter I can tell you the blacked out and hit her head story would require a hell of a lot of scientific backing.
