Two prominent Republicans on Wednesday said President Trump should stop tweeting about a fake conspiracy theory involving MSNBC host Joe Scarborough and a deceased woman's family.

After a news conference with House Republican leaders Wednesday, Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., also said Trump needs to stop.

"I do think the president should stop tweeting about Joe Scarborough," she said, adding:"We're in the middle of a pandemic. He's the commander in chief of this nation, and it's causing great pain to the family of the young woman who died, so I would urge him to stop it." Earlier Wednesday, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said he was not familiar enough with the subject to comment.

The family's pleas have not caused Trump to change course. Asked about the letter during a news conference Tuesday, Trump said he is"sure that, ultimately, they want to get to the bottom of it, and it's a very serious situation." On Wednesday morning, Trump tweeted that Scarborough, who hosts MSNBC's"Morning Joe" and has frequently criticized the president,"is rattled." Trump again pushed for"opening a Cold Case."

Was it ever investigated thoroughly! Asking because not familiar with case!

He is not the commander in chief of this nation. He is the commander in chief of the military. HUGE DIFFERENCE. He has no authority over citizens. He works for us. He is a public servant.

I agree!

Prominent

No I actually find it entertaining, a lot better than talking his uneducated supporters into taken drugs that's unproven by the FDA

Two prominent Republicans will be ignored by Tangerine Trump.

That’s Not a prominent Rebulican

2 literally just 2. This headline should say ONLY 2. Scarborough was a colleague of theirs, but they don't want to get in the crosshairs of the dumpster fire in the White House

Thank god they’ve regained the use of their SPINE, after 5 years of CONSTANT LIES AND PROPAGANDA.

Two prominent RINOs.

He should STOP tweeting period. It’s insane

Where were they on Russia and Ukraine, NO WHERE!!!!

Only 2? Pathetic.

They should've been this aggressive back in 2016 and this isn't that aggressive at this point in 2020.

This shouldn’t have to be said

Who cares what they say!!!
