Far-left crank Keith Olbermann is being encouraged to “seek help” after going on a rant that may have crossed the line for too many.
The former ESPN and MSNBC host came under fire after a social media comment that seemed to suggest the assassination of former President Donald Trump.
While Olbermann’s hatred of Trump is nothing new, the shocking response to a post by the Biden-Harris HQ account on X left many shaking their heads and earned him a violation decision by the platform owned by Elon Musk.
The Biden campaign post highlighted a segment of Trump’s recent speech in Dayton, Ohio in which he commented about being persecuted by Democrats and other enemies.
“Trump says he has been treated worse than Abraham Lincoln, who was assassinated,” the campaign captioned the post.
“There’s always the hope,” Olbermann wrote in response.

The social media platform soon responded by notifying that the post “may violate X’s rules about Violent Speech.” And when searching for Olbermann’s post directly, users are informed about the violation without being able to see the post.

Olbermann was raked over the coals by other X users with many suggesting he should be “permanently suspended” for seeming to endorse killing the presumptive nominee for the 2024 Republican nomination.
Seek help.

Olbermann fired back in a post that also seemed to take a shot at Fox News.
I know nobody with an IQ greater than a halibut’s has believed @FoxNews since 1996 but even from their whores this is idiotic
The RT clearly shows I’m hoping Trump’s right, that he IS treated worse than Lincoln. As I’ve said for 9 years: THAT HE’S CONVICTED, THEN DIES IN PRISON pic.twitter.com/pBRznpLNvD

Olbermann evidently reacted to Trump’s speech in other posts as well.
If I didn’t know any better it certainly sounds like Keith Olbermann is inciting a threat.
Wonder if he’ll get a visit from the authorities if he keeps going at this rate.
Then again with the current fake Biden Admin, I highly doubt anything will happen.
Get help Keith. https://t.co/DTNCBHKltS pic.twitter.com/JLV2wtSa2q

Last year, Olbermann called Trump “the most dangerous terrorist in this country” and demanded he be jailed.

His attacks are not limited to the former president, as he recently told NCAA star Riley Gaines that she “sucked” at swimming. Last fall, he came under fire for gloating over NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ season-ending injury.
His latest attack on Trump reignited social media as users agreed the former broadcaster needs help.
Let’s be honest, Keith Olbermann had his 15 minutes. He was 50% of an amazing sports show back in the day and he let it go to his head. Now, he’s simply an angry, incoherent blowhard who probably has no friends. His ramblings and rants make me hope. he gets the help he needs.

Do you think Keith Olbermann cares that he has basically become a social media clown?
