‘Unspeakably Cruel’: ‘Morning Joe’ Co-Hosts Call Out Trump For Continuing To Tweet About Scarborough’s Dead Intern
Scarborough and his co-hosts pointed to a New York Times op-ed written by contributing opinion writer Kara Swisher. In the Tuesday op-ed, Swisher called for Twitter to remove Trump’s tweets about Lori Klausutis – who was found dead at her desk while working as an intern for Scarborough’s congressional office in 2001. It was determined that Klausutis died of natural causes.
Swisher pointed out “the very serious collateral damage” of the apparent war between Scarborough and Trump, which often results in the president bringing up Klausutis. The op-ed included a letter sent by Klausutis’ husband to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey urging the platform to remove the president’s tweets, where he has pushed a theory suggesting Scarborough had something to do with the 28-year-old’s death.
Co-host Mika Brzezinski began the segment by reading widower Timothy J. Klausutis’ letter to Dorsey in full. Timothy noted that as the intern’s husband, he has “struggled to move forward” and called the theories pushed by the president “horrifying lies.”
“My request is simple: Please delete these tweets,” he wrote to Dorsey.
