The AT Crowd takes their battles to the most preposterous hills to die.
The most powerful man in the world with a mass twitter following picking on a widower whose wife dies (two ME evalautions) of a heart condition. All during a Pandemic emergency. DJT is doing a bang up job losing indy voters one gaffe at a time.
@catfish1957 Even more intriguing: why President Tweety is taking up a debunked conspiracy theory once promulgated from the wingnut
left as much from the wingnut right.
I'm not entirely sure, but one of the most flagrant ones was
Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas---once an MSNBC contributor himself, frequently a guest of Keith Olbermann's when Olbermann was there, and dumped by MSNBC in July 2010 when he got into it with Joe Scarborough over the Lori Klausutis death in a tweet war Moulitsas
instigated with, quote, "Like story of a certain dead intern. RT @JoeNBC: Luckily for the White House, the media has been negligent on this story since Day 1."
No one goes to Donald Trump’s Twitter feed to be edified, but Trump’s series of tweets the last two weeks about MSNBC host Joe Scarborough has been grotesque even by his standards.
Trump didn’t leave it at boasting about how he supposedly used Scarborough in 2016 (when the host gave him kid-glove treatment), or at mocking Scarborough’s ratings, or calling him “nuts,†all of which would have been routine unpresidential conduct, but insinuated that Scarborough is guilty of murdering a young woman who died in one of his Florida district offices in 2001 when he was a congressman.
The medical examiner concluded that the woman, 28-year-old Lori Klausutis, had an undiagnosed heart ailment and fainted and hit her head on a desk. This tragedy has been fodder for conspiracy theorists almost from the beginning, most notably — until Trump surpassed him — Markos Moulitsas of the left-wing website Daily Kos.

Trump is clearly driven by his desire to say the most malicious and painful things he can about Scarborough, to take revenge for the former congressman’s now obsessively anti-Trump morning program. The president maintains he doesn’t watch, although this is plainly untrue. The collateral damage is the family of Lori Klausutis, who had to endure her sudden loss and now watch helplessly as the president pushes a deception about her death for his own petty purposes.
It’s unworthy of a partisan blogger, let alone the president of the United States.
