, asking the platform to remove the tweets. His wife, Lori, died in 2001 when she was serving as a staff member to Scarborough, who was then a congressman from Florida.
“Well, you know, I would note that the president said this morning that this is not an original Trump thought on and it is not,” she said. “In fact, in 2003, on Don Imus’ show, it was Don Imus and Joe Scarborough that joked about killing an intern, joked and laughed about it, so that was pretty hurtful to Lori’s family and Joe Scarborough himself brought this up with Don Imus, and Joe Scarborough himself can answer it.
Then Karl asked whether that justified the president “spreading a false conspiracy theory that suggested he is responsible for murder?”
