Some of his media supporters know it’s wrong but few Republican politicians have spoken up. Shameful!

Some of President Trump's stalwart defenders in the media have recoiled at his baseless attacks on the MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, whom Trump has all but accused of killing a former staff member despite a total lack of evidencehttps://t.co/t5dDsjmg5E

Torturing the family of the dead for political gain. Classless. Soulless. Clueless. Tasteless. Pointless. Feckless. Hateful and @realDonaldTrump https://t.co/HrxNJzGCX3

I checked out a conspiracy theory forum with 20K members to see how they're handling the Trump Scarborough accusations. The top post accuses Tim Klausutis of all kinds of crimes. This really appears to be headed to Sandy Hook/Seth Rich territory, thanks to the president.

ZING … LIZ CHENEY to @scottwongDC and @pkcapitol: “I do think the president should stop tweeting about Joe Scarborough. We’re in the middle of a pandemic. He’s the commander in chief of this nation. And it’s causing great pain to the family of the young woman who died.”

President Trump's crazed Twitter rant on Joe Scarborough was vile and unworthy of his office. Some will undoubtedly shrug it off as Trump being Trump, but one could hardly be blamed for reading it and doubting his fitness to lead.

How many other Republicans have undertaken this simple and basic act of decency? https://t.co/jxPeNYKiu9

“Kayleigh McEnany, the White House press secretary, pressed by reporters, offered no evidence to back up the president’s insinuations. Instead, she essentially justified them by saying that Mr. Scarborough had been critical of Mr. Trump.” https://t.co/X6n0Vf07Mk

If you want to hate Scarborough or me or any media figure because you think he (or we) are biased against Trump or something, that's your right. But don't follow the President's lead in making the death of a 28-year-old some sort of political football.https://t.co/e2jqGtpc7E

Sad!
