Kayleigh McEnany: Ask Joe Scarborough Why He Joked About His Dead Intern

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany challenged MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough to explain why he joked about having sex with and killing his dead intern.

Scarborough’s intern, Lori Klausutis, died in 2001 after she fell and hit her head at his Florida office as the result of an undiagnosed heart condition, according to the coroner’s office.

White House journalists repeatedly pressed McEnany about why the president raised questions on Twitter about the conspiracy theory, prompting Scarbrough’s co-host and third wife Mika Brzezinski to publicly demand Twitter’s CEO take the tweets down.

But McEnany said reporters should question Scarborough.

“It was Don Imus and Joe Scarborough that joked about killing an intern, joked and laughed about it,” McEnany replied, citing a conversation from 2003.

The Media Research Center unearthed clips of radio host Don Imus in 2003 joking about Scarborough leaving Congress because he had sex with his intern and “had to kill her.”

“Exactly, what’re you gonna do,” Scarborough replied with a laugh.

Because obviously two wrongs make a right, and since someone did something untoward, it give the President of the United States a pass to act poorly.
