Keith Olbermann suggests 'hope' for Trump's assassination in X post

Long time ago when Keith Olbermann and Dan Patrick were much watch TV on ESPN's Sportscenter on a nightly basis.
 
Former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann appeared to "hope" that former President Trump would be assassinated in a recent X post that prompted calls for his banishment from the social media platform.

Olbermann was referring to the Biden-Harris HQ X account flagging a clip of Trump saying he had been persecuted worse than any president in history, including Abraham Lincoln.

"Trump says he has been treated worse than Abraham Lincoln, who was assassinated," the Biden campaign account posted on Saturday.

"There's always the hope," Olbermann wrote, linking to the post.

Olbermann, a far-left personality known for his inflammatory comments, has also recently called for the dissolution of the Supreme Court.

One account that responded to Olbermann's post suggested the commentator's account should be "permanently suspended" for appearing to endorse someone killing Trump, the presumptive nominee for the 2024 Republican nomination. Trump is trying to become only the second president since Grover Cleveland to win another White House term after losing a previous re-election bid.

I’m not going to support overman for president, or start watching his show.
 
Not the same thing. Context matters. Keith carefully puts his remark in the context of assassination, Trump clearly is speaking of economic and tells them that it would be an economic disaster and that nobody would be able to buy the Chinese cars...

Seriously. If you cannot see the difference here then you are deliberately misleading yourself.

I don't support Trump, but I can understand the difference between using a platform to wish for the actual murder of a specific person and someone talking about an economic disaster and terming it a bloodbath....

Though if crazies did actually start murdering folks if he loses I would definitely point back to "bloodbath" verbiage as something that unhinged idiots may have misconstrued.

Seriously, not taxing imports as promised is really going to result in an economic bloodbath?

For one who launched a violent attack on the Capitol with his comments even employing the word bloodbath in any context is poor judgement and understandably could lead others to warn about possible violence

Trump said the impact on the auto industry would be the least of it. He said what he said. I have no idea how people are misinterpreting that.

As to the OP, that sickens me also. Both sides have gotta stop this. Come to think of it, I could do without the concept of "sides" entirely.

It's literally the ONLY thing democrats haven't tried yet - as far as we know.

You just carry his water on line
 
Trump can order his voters and supporters to take a non violence oath



He can clear up his threats by fully denouncing any support of violent acts


Win or lose



He never will

Because he needs the threats and violence

Xi Jinping can order Joe Biden to denounce any support of violent acts.

He never will

Because he needs the threats and violence.

That comes after this evil Republican Party dies



The facts are not automatically in the middle


Sometimes they are all on one side



This is one of those times

Did your Twitter account get suspended? Let's see the X post. A Faux noose article talking about it isn't proof.
 
Wow, IMHO you have some responsibility for what crazies might do if you have a platform like his and wish for violence on another in front of your audience. Even if you wish for just pain, it is IMHO something you may have to face some music for...

Let's see the X post or it's total horseshit.

Two hundred ten defendants from 40 states and the District of Columbia who were charged for their participation in the January 6th insurrection have said they were answering Donald Trump’s calls when they traveled to Washington and joined the violent attack on the Capitol. CREW’s examination of court filings, transcripts, and news items regarding defendants in January 6th cases shows that defendants—ranging from convicted seditionists such as members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers to individual members of the public—considered Trump their leader and believed they were following his lead by joining the insurrection.

Instead, Trump says "there will be a bloodbath" if he loses the election.
