Did GOP-congressman-turned-MSNBC-host Joe Scarborough murder an intern in 2001? President Trump resurrected that conspiracy theory in a morning tweet.
“So now that Matt Lauer is gone when will the Fake News practitioners at NBC be terminating the contract of Phil Griffin?” Trump said. “And will they terminate low ratings Joe Scarborough based on the ‘unsolved mystery’ that took place in Florida years ago? Investigate!”

The Florida incident recalled how Lori Klausutis, 28, was found dead in Scarborough’s office while he was a Republican congressman. No foul play was found.
Now Scarborough’s brother George in Georgia has finally found a reason not to support Trump.
George Scarborough tweeted: “Outrageous reference re @JoeNBC where @potus @realDonaldTrump just crossed the line with me. I need to see a public apology to my brother Joe or else he has lost my support for good … which is saying a ton given all the support I’ve shown him in past 2 years.”
