MSNBC anchor Joe Scarborough got in on the conspiracy theories on the death of Jeffrey Epstein but when he got called on it he got furious.
“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.
“He reportedly tried to kill himself two weeks ago. And is allowed to finish the job now? Bullshit,” the “Morning Joe” host said.

That got the scorn of CNN KFile reporter. Andrew Kaczynski who scolded the MSNBC host for his Russia conspiracy.
“Reckless speculation like this from someone with a platform and voice as large as yours is as irresponsible as it gets,” he said.

Scarborough was incensed at the tweet from the CNN reporter and hit him with his own, blaming his tweet on coffee.
“Andrew, I never realized that a glib tweet of mine while drinking coffee would be taken by you as the inerrant word of God.

“Lighten up. The tweets following mocked conspiracy theories of the 90s and the New York Mets’ 9th inning comeback. Relax,” he said.
““Is as irresponsible as it gets?” Go outside and get some fresh air today. Get off Twitter, which is what I did after finishing my coffee. That’s why I’m just now seeing your hyperventilating tweet,” he said.
