Twitter ‘Deeply Sorry’ About Trump Tweets Suggesting Joe Scarborough Murdered Intern — But Won’t Delete Them
President Trump repeatedly used his Twitter account this past week to float the conspiracy theory that Scarborough murdered Lori Klausutis when he was a congressman, prompting her widower to speak out and plead that the platform take down the tweets.
In response, a Twitter spokesperson told Mediaite, “We are deeply sorry about the pain these statements, and the attention they are drawing, are causing the family.”
There is no evidence that Republican Joe Scarborough murdered his aide (not an intern). He did get preferential treatment by the police and the media at the same time Democrat Gary Condit got the opposite treatment when his intern went missing. That's the story.
