Two prominent Republicans on Wednesday said President Trump should stop tweeting about a fake conspiracy theory involving MSNBC host Joe Scarborough and a deceased woman's family.
After a news conference with House Republican leaders Wednesday, Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., also said Trump needs to stop.
"I do think the president should stop tweeting about Joe Scarborough," she said, adding:"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, so I would urge him to stop it." Earlier Wednesday, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said he was not familiar enough with the subject to comment.
The family's pleas have not caused Trump to change course. Asked about the letter during a news conference Tuesday, Trump said he is"sure that, ultimately, they want to get to the bottom of it, and it's a very serious situation." On Wednesday morning, Trump tweeted that Scarborough, who hosts MSNBC's"Morning Joe" and has frequently criticized the president,"is rattled." Trump again pushed for"opening a Cold Case."
