Don Imus Rivalry, MSNBC Ratings and Coroner Reports

Following his departure from MSNBC, Don Imus frequently attacked Joe Scarborough, calling him a "disgusting backstabbing phony" and disputing his ratings success. The discussion revisits the medical examiner's report on Lori Klausutis, which attributed her death to a heart condition that caused her to fall and hit her head. Trump's continued focus on this story is seen as a retaliatory tactic against Scarborough's constant criticism of the administration.
