OANN Reporter Actually Asks Kayleigh McEnany if Trump Can ‘Depose’ Joe Scarborough

Alright. We have seen Chanel Rion unknowingly embarrass the living sh*t out of herself already on several occasions. She once asked Kayleigh if Trump would consider “pardoning Obama.” This is an actress, not a real reporter. She is not even a member of the White House Correspondents Association, which controls who attends press conferences. Rion is “allowed” in to press conferences due to an order from … someone in the White House.

So, knowing that actresses work hard and have to be “on camera” a lot, Chanel Rion stared down Kayleigh to ask the question that has been on all our minds.

“If Joe Scarborough were innocent, couldn’t he sue Donald Trump for defamation? And then, in turn, couldn’t Donald Trump’s attorneys immediately depose Joe Scarborough and allow him to go under oath and explain how this 28-year old woman was found dead by his desk with multiple skull fractures? Wouldn’t Donald Trump welcome a defamation suit from Joe Scarborough?”

All of that could happen, and Joe Scarborough could simply read the autopsy report and note that he has to defer to the doctor’s report since Joe wasn’t in the room, town, or state when it happened. He was in Washington DC!

A defamation suit may well be coming. But it’s hindered by the fact that Trump has only “raised the question.” Trump has never come right out and accused Scarborough. Trump knows defamation law, he’s had to navigate it his entire life. Trump never mentions that Joe was in Washington DC at the time his staff member died.

This has a sad side, too. Lori Klausutis’s heart-broken husband, Timothy, literally begged Twitter to take the tweets down, that they were hurting them and disgracing Lori’s memory.

Now OANN is fanning the flames, stating that IF Joe Scarborough were innocent he would sue Trump. So if Scarborough doesn’t sue Trump he must be guilty, under OANN’s theory. Insane, and dangerous.

Peace, y’all
