On Saturday, news broke that financier Jeffrey Epstein died by apparent suicide in his Manhattan jail, despite being on suicide watch one day after authorities released some 2,000 pages of highly incriminating documents. This prompted MSNBC propagandist Joe Scarborough to turn into a full-blown conspiracy theorist, laying the blame for the suicide on the Russians.
You heard that right. The Russians.
“A guy who had information that would have destroyed rich and powerful men’s lives ends up dead in his jail cell. How predictably…Russian,” he said on Twitter.

Will the 2nd Amendment Be Destroyed By the Biden Admin?
He wasn’t finished:
He reportedly tried to kill himself two weeks ago. And is allowed to finish the job now? Bullshit.

Reaction to this insanity was predictable. One person wanted to know if the Russians who did it were in the room with Scarborough…
Are the Russians who did this in the room with you now?
— Howard Notelling (@BluegrassPundit) August 10, 2019
Heh. Probably…
One person asked:
I agree it is suspicious but Russia? Why would Russia want to murder him?

Well, according to Scarborough’s fellow conspiracy theorists, it was all done on Trump’s orders.

One person diagnosed Scarborough:
you’re a psychopath

Or just your garden-variety idiot. Who just happens to have a slot at MSNBC where he can spew his hate and propaganda.

Or just stupid.

Andrew Kaczynski called Scarborough out for his reckless and idiotic tweet.

But, hey, Scarborough works for MSNBC, so it’s all good, right?
I’m starting to think you’re clinically insane.
Seek professional help.
— John Betts (@JohnFromCranber) August 10, 2019
Starting?
Then there’s this hot take:

Heh. We tend to agree.
Billionaire pedophile Epstein died, and this celebrity "journalist" immediately blames Russia, without a scintilla of evidence
In the new cold war TV "journos" blame foreign bogeymen for anything and don't need a shred of proof, because facts don't matterhttps://t.co/CsmAjBkI8A

Sad but true. Facts don’t matter these days to alleged “news” outlets anymore.
One person suggested:
Delete your account, and find a new profession. You really suck ar your current one.
— ken (@steelerfanaticx) August 10, 2019
We agree. Don’t go away mad, Joe. Just go away. Please.
