Carlson Spreads “Joe Scarborough Killed Staffer” Lie

“Joe Scarborough, like something broke there. I always liked Joe, people would always whisper at the company that he had murdered someone who’d worked for him. I didn’t have views on that but a lot of people thought that he did it, I didn’t know. He was my fill-in guy when I was on vacation and I look up in like maybe an airport newsstand and they’re playing it and Joe Scarborough’s insane and angry. Now maybe it’s his personal life, I don’t know what it is, but I think that brand of neo-liberalism became highly venomous and hate-filled.” – Tucker Carlson. As has been widely reported for many years, Scarborough was at the US Capitol in 2001 when his staffer fell and hit her head in Florida. Trump has tweeted the same lie many times, most recently in 2020.
