CNN anchor Jake Tapper sharply criticized President Trump on Wednesday after the president attacked MSNBC host Joe Scarborough on Twitter by bringing up the 2001 death of an intern in the then-lawmaker’s office.
Tapper called the president’s attacks “indecent” Wednesday after Trump suggested police should “investigate” the death of Lori Klausutis, a 28-year-old intern who was found dead in Scarborough’s congressional office in 2001.
“So now that Matt Lauer is gone when will the Fake News practitioners at NBC be terminating the contract of Phil Griffin? And will they terminate low ratings Joe Scarborough based on the “unsolved mystery” that took place in Florida years ago? Investigate!” Trump tweeted.
This is the president attempting to exploit the tragic death of a young woman — one who had heart problems and hit her head when she fell — to score a cheap spurious political point. Indecent. Inhumane. https://t.co/UAvbhYPCnQ
