Trump is spreading baseless conspiracy theories. Sad!
Twitter remains silent about Trump's appalling attacks against Joe Scarborough… https://t.co/gCmxbNlwqv pic.twitter.com/5Yx4OckrEf

Dear @Twitter why is he allowed to do this? This most certainly violates user rules. He is falsely accusing another user @JoeNBC of murder. He is publicly harassing a family who lost a child. This is not okay. Please suspend @realDonaldTrump account. https://t.co/uKCvLpRlUc

Completely unfounded conspiracy. Just stop. Stop spreading it, stop creating paranoia. It will destroy us. https://t.co/XgDl6LmANb

“No one in Klausutis’s family would talk about Trump’s tweets for this article, fearing retaliation by online trolls of the type who went after parents of the Sandy Hook massacre victims.” https://t.co/HGZZkMFeig

This is right. They've declined all interview requests in recent weeks –> https://t.co/y52lyVbo4h

The woman's name was Lori Klausutis, she died of natural causes (https://t.co/As4ET3QEad), and it's absolutely disgusting that Trump is traumatizing her family by exploiting her like this https://t.co/RPcX6qMyxr

A lot of stories about how Trump’s campaign has this big plan to capitalize on Biden’s gaffes.

Quick q for the MAGA braintrust:
Was the President leveling false murder accusations against a cable news host on the message calendar this week? Was that part of the plan? https://t.co/80UYGsN6Th
This isn’t quite true. Under Clinton v. Jones, to be protected, the president’s statements have to fall within the “outer perimeter” of his official responsibilities. It’s hard to see how these statements have anything to do with presidential duties. https://t.co/thHty6PQQi

You just can't quit @JoeNBC @Morning_Joe can you? #Obsessed #DerangedDonald You owe an apology to the family of Lori Klausutis for your pathetic attempt to score cheap political points at the expense of her memory. Only a very sick, sociopath would be doing this. https://t.co/SOOpCGJTYa

The president just retweeted someone calling the first woman nominee of either major political party in the US “a skank” a few hours after another Scarborough murder allegation on the weekend the country closes in on 100K coronavirus deaths. pic.twitter.com/5H2E63kWOn

Untrue! He is acussing a private citizen of murder! Casting false light! Libeling him. Sorry David this is not what #SCOTUS meant with protected Presidential speech. https://t.co/sVVIJ7rmZo

Trump accusing a cable host of murder is not Trump being nutty but him feeding a propaganda machine that brought you tunnels under a pizza joint, denial of the Sandy Hook murders, Benghazi hearings, Seth Rich/Vince Foster theories, and the notion that Ukraine hacked the election.

In 2001, a staffer for @JoeNBC named Lori Klausutis tragically passed away. She had an abnormal heart rhythm and collapsed, striking her head. She left behind a husband and relatives. It is truly vile that the President spreads conspiracy theories about her death. pic.twitter.com/GSeKLiqSbE

I can confirm: This has been happening. Direct result of Trump's tweets. https://t.co/w4S9fwtg48

Just when you think we've hit rock bottom, it turns out that you can dig even deeper. https://t.co/kpudRSm4Gx

The President is personally calling for the criminal investigation of a journalist who has criticized him. This is clearly outrageous, and every Republican in Congress knows it but is too chicken shit to say anything about it. Not a single one should ever work in politics again. pic.twitter.com/vOUutxTxtG
