Former MSNBC host and writer Keith Olbermann has been attacked for sending to X (previously Twitter) a joke about killing the former US President, Donald Trump, with the “hope” that it would succeed. Later, he denied it saying, he never meant that.
This never ending drama commenced when Olbermann responded to a post from Biden-Harris HQ that was flagged a video which was posted by the President to justify his stance. The argument in the video was that Trump is as helpless as Abraham Lincoln who was considered an assassination victim of the politics.
“Trump says he has been treated worse than Abraham Lincoln, who was assassinated,” the Biden-Harris HQ account posted.
After commenting, Olbermann’s response (in a since-deleted post) to the post raised several eyebrows, “There’s always the hope.” Does that mean he was hoping for Trump’s assassination?
This sparked calls for Olbermann to be banned from the platform, with one account suggesting his account should be “permanently suspended.”
