'Deeply sorry': Twitter apologizes for Trump pushing conspiracy theory on Scarborough intern death
Washington Examiner via MSN ^ | 5/26/20 | Mike Best

Posted on 05/26/2020 7:54:33 AM PDT by DoodleDawg

Twitter is seeking to expand its product features and policies after President Trump repeatedly pushed a conspiracy theory regarding the death of an intern who worked in former Rep. Joe Scarborough's congressional office.

The social media platform apologized on Tuesday morning for the president's insinuation that Scarborough, now a television host on MSNBC, may have been responsible for Lori Klausutis’s 2001 death via Twitter, which has prompted calls for the company to remove the tweets.

“We are deeply sorry about the pain these statements, and the attention they are drawing, are causing the family," a Twitter spokesperson told the Washington Examiner. "We've been working to expand existing product features and policies so we can more effectively address things like this going forward, and we hope to have those changes in place shortly."

Right. But it was a different question being asked. Has anyone from the family commented?

The answer is yes. I don’t believe the husband thinks it is a legal matter.

Scar and Trump are both public figures.

Note the it was Leftists who kept alive the Scar as murderer theory.

Sure they can do it. But if they censor tweets by POTUS they put themselves in peril of having to explain why they can censor government officials but still claim to not being a publisher rather than an open platform.

I'd like to see them make that argument and force the issue.

That’s the definition of “oligopoly” — few sellers.

Yes, it’ll definitely take a President with the cojones to take them on via anti-trust.

I think people go to twitter knowing what they’re getting.

I had a couple of regular account and a few spam ones, all following the President. After getting twenty some notifications one Sunday Morning, I had to quit following him on all accounts — easier than turning off notifications, frankly.

Then I hear people claiming that his followers are being dropped or something — all phony numbers.

“The Family” that Twitter is deeply sorry was hurt is the Democrat Party, the biggest Mafia in the USA.

Did they personally apologize to Soros by kissing his ring?

I'm sure there are plenty of excuses Barr could use to open a federal investigation. Where's the win for Trump if he does so? You really think it would shut up Scarborough?

by a really dicey ME who changed his public story several times in a few days. Very shaky and questionable surounding information.

Perhaps. But nobody is going to reopen the case without new evidence and there isn't any.

FILE ON MORNING JOE

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

POTUS tweets:
The opening of a Cold Case against Psycho Joe Scarborough was not a Donald Trump original thought, this has been going on for years, long before I joined the chorus. In 2016 when Joe & his wacky future ex-wife, Mika, would endlessly interview me, I would always be thinking....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 26, 2020

....about whether or not Joe could have done such a horrible thing? Maybe or maybe not, but I find Joe to be a total Nut Job, and I knew him well, far better than most. So many unanswered & obvious questions, but I won’t bring them up now! Law enforcement eventually will?— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 26, 2020

Then this:

Breaking!
FOIA into Morning Joes cold case has arrived!

Here it is. pic.twitter.com/HtqlBkBfLp— Mike Bravo (@mikebravodude) May 26, 2020

What does that mean? "Yup." What are you trying to say.

It means "yes". It's an offhanded way of saying I agree with you. Kind of like "dittos".

Dr Michael Berkland, the medical examiner in the case of the death of Joe Scarborough’s intern, Lori Klausutis, was charged in 2012 after more than 100 body parts were found in a storage container.
