There seems to be something truly wrong with Keith Olbermann’s brain. The former MSNBC host is not mellowing with age, he is getting even crazier and more hostile.
Last week after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, he went on a bizarre rant and said that Kirk was in hell. Now he is apparently threatening CNN’s Scott Jennings, the network’s lone conservative pundit.
At what point does Olbermann get carted off to a loony bin by nice young men in white coats? The guy obviously needs mental help.
The New York Post reports:
Keith Olbermann appears to threaten CNN’s conservative pundit Scott Jennings
Liberal political commentator Keith Olbermann deleted a social media post Monday in which he appeared to threaten conservative CNN analyst Scott Jennings.
“You’re next motherf–ker,” read Olbermann’s deleted X post, according to a screenshot shared by Townhall columnist Dustin Grage
“But keep mugging to the camera,” the former MSNBC and ESPN host added, in another deleted tweet, according to the grabs Jennings retweeted from Grage while tagging FBI Director Kash Patel.
Olbermann appears to have been responding to a tweet from Jennings reacting to ABC reinstating late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, after he was pulled off the air for offensive comments related to conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
Olbermann deleted the tweet, but not before people screencapped it.
WOW: Keith Olbermann just threatened @ScottJenningsKY.

Olbermann really needs an intervention. Or maybe a straightjacket.
