GOP Rep. Warns Trump On Wild Scarborough Murder Claim: 'Just Stop. It Will Destroy Us.'

An Illinois Republican congressman warned President Donald Trump Sunday to “just stop” with his outrageous insinuations that MSNBC commentator Joe Scarborough is a murderer.

“Completely unfounded conspiracy. Just stop,” a frustrated Rep. Adam Kinzinger tweeted, lashing Trump’s attack on Scarborough, a frequent critic of the president. “Stop spreading it, stop creating paranoia. It will destroy us,” he added, apparently referring to Republicans and future elections — or possibly America.

A lot of interest in this story about Psycho Joe Scarborough. So a young marathon runner just happened to faint in his office, hit her head on his desk, & die? I would think there is a lot more to this story than that? An affair? What about the so-called investigator? Read story! twitter.com... …

It's interesting watching you folks attempt to control the monster that you created. Just remember that all of the damage and death he has inflicted on our country is a direct result of the @GOP and all who support it.

It's refreshing to see some of them have the courage to call out their own.

Maybe it's contagious? One can only hope....

it's just the president of the united states straight up accusing a tv host of murder. very cool, very normal, very dignified, very presidential and not at all the kind of thing a vulgar unhinged morally-bankrupt sweaty warthog would do

Some say he may even get banned from Twitter. I think this would be a mistake. He provides so much material there....

@Jack and @TwitterSupport. So it's cool to accuse someone of murder on Twitter? Seems illegal to me. Plus a violation of your hateful conduct policy. What gives?

This guy has a history of getting mad about Trump. I think he is in an area where he believes that he could lose his seat if he doesn't hate on Trump.

Anyway, nice try - I CANNOT WAIT TO VOTE TRUMP IN NOVEMBER!!!

I also hope that the police open a cold case file on a girl that mysteriously bashed her own head open in an office when "no one" was there and died from it.

That happens ALL the time.

It's just a TV host having a young woman faint, hit her head and die in his office. Not at all the kind of thing people with an unnatural hatred for one allegedly orange man would want to investigate if HE said it.

Any precedent for a marathon runner dying by head injury in someones office after fainting I wonder?

Very few people gives a chit about ScarBro, like President Trump does. I wouldn't know him if he walked into this room right now. I think its probably a distraction tactic.

It seems like to me that he is just one of the few people who are living in the real world and he has noticed that Donald Trump is crazy and is bad for this country.

Great. And of course I think you are wrong. Very wrong.

Quoted for hilarity.

What color is the sky in your "real" world?

Orange, I am assuming?

It's one thing to have a difference of political opinion and quite another to suppose that real people living in the real world are not because they don't agree with you.

I would normally at this point address the OP, but I've been told to not feed the trolls on ATS lately soOo...

An Illinois Republican congressman

And therein lies your answer in one word

You know , like unto Chicago.

Congressman Adam Kinzinger is the House counterpart to Mitt Romney, over in the Senate.

Kinzinger has been very hard on President Trump, and even believed he colluded with Russia. Kinzinger is also a favorite on CNN, for obvious reasons.

People that buy into the drama just don't see it, and as we can see by the few replies here folks are absolutely invested in the drama, in fact so much so that if any negative statements are made about their hero's they instantly have to jump in and defend their chosen ones honour.

a reply to: IAMALLYETALLIAM

what you're saying is not untrue, but i gotta wonder if the official twitter account of the president is really the best possible venue to be setting out for an investigation?

Like let's assume good faith here and say Trump is concerned out of the goodness of his heart, why not have a word to his head of security or the boss of the fbi or, heck, call the chief of police and get it investigated efficiently by professionals?
the very best you can hope for by just slamming it out there on twitter is that the usual crowd will get all riled up and then who knows who will take what into their own hands? it's happened before, and recently.

Good for Trump bringing this to light.

If the liberal media organizations are going to push crazy and misleading stories on Trump, he'll simply counter punch, this is the firebrand we all know. He simply went nuclear oh Psycho Joe, Mika was just the cream on the top asking for the twitter manager, lol, no customers are not always right, lol.

Who cares what Kinzinger says? Certainly know one else and Trump is NEVER ratioed, to the social media savvy, this isn't an indicator of aything, to the social media ignorant, Trumps tweet of 19k Comments to 65k Likes over a 36hr period translates to millions of impressions and generally well recieved among those reading the tweet and reacting to it.

To the OP and others of you're brand, quit being Karens 🤣

a reply to: Arnie123

Just what the country needs; potus suggesting one of his media enemies may be a murderer.

Would trump even give the scarborough story one thought if he was a pro-trump fox news commentator?

I don't think trump thinks before he talks.

I've NEVER seen a man so petty and insecure as Trump. NEVER.

There's probably more to this story. Trump's not just returning fire willy-nilly. At least, I haven't seen him do it.

Joe probably did murder her. I wonder how that's going to affect everyone who has grown familiar with his face. I mean ... Matt Lauer ... the accused Rapist ... eww.

And there it is. Lying is okay if Trump does it because that's "counter-punching."

Nope. It makes him look like a mentally ill, petty, thin-skinned old creep.

Why would he need to "counterpunch" Joe Scarborough? Trump is the f-ing President of the United States.

The only thing he needed to say was "Joe who?" and move on.

A tan suit was "beneath the dignity of the Office" but Trump constantly lying and making an ass of himself is praiseworthy behavior?


The Trump media machine has certainly done it's work. Hoo boy.

you say then.....where's the body.....really

did a woman die or not....

Where's the investigation?

Where's the DOJ if the States aren't doing their duty?

What is there to back this up besides Trump's mouth?

Please, show us.
