Senator Mitt Romney is trying to insert himself into the feud between Joe Scarborough, President Trump, and Twitter. He claims that accusations against Scarborough killing his former staffer Lori Klausutis are “vile” and baseless.”
“I know Joe Scarborough. Joe is a friend of mine. I don’t know T.J. Klausutis,” Romney wrote on Twitter, referring to the widower of staffer Lori Klausutis, who died in 2001 when a heart condition caused her to pass out and she hit her head on a desk.
“Joe can weather vile, baseless accusations but T.J.? His heart is breaking. Enough already,” the Utah Republican added.

Romney was responding to President Trump asking that Klausutis’s death be reopened and that it was a “Cold Case.”
“Psycho Joe Scarborough is rattled, not only by his bad ratings but all of the things and facts that are coming out on the internet about opening a Cold Case. He knows what is happening!” the president tweeted.
Earlier this week T.J wrote Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, asking him to remove President Trump’s tweets about his late wife, that was having an affair with Scarborough. Twitter refrained from deleting the post but, slapped a fact-check label on the President’s comments over vote-by-mail.
The President has warned Twitter, and said, “Republicans feel that Social Media Platforms totally silence conservatives voices. We will strongly regulate, or close them down, before we can ever allow this to happen. We saw what they attempted to do, and failed, in 2016. We can’t let a more sophisticated version of that happen again. Just like we can’t let large scale Mail-In Ballots take root in our Country. It would be a free for all on cheating, forgery and the theft of Ballots. Whoever cheated the most would win. Likewise, Social Media. Clean up your act, NOW!!!!”
