‘Facts are a funny thing, Keith’: Nancy Mace reality checks Hillary-defending Olbermann in brutal fashion

June 13, 2023 | | Print Article

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) clobbered unstable and personality-deprived former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann on Sunday after he took a poke at her for accurately claiming that failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s campaign took a hammer to government devices.

Twitter fact-checked his false claim, adding insult to injury for the foaming-at-the-mouth leftist. The social media platform cited three articles from CNN, Business Insider, and Snopes that corroborated Mace’s tweet.

“Hillary Clinton used a hammer to destroy evidence of a private e-mail server and classified information on that server and was never indicted. The same standard should apply to everyone, including Donald Trump,” Mace tweeted on Sunday, drawing a rabid response from Olbermann.

Ironically, Olbermann, who lacks any capacity for self-introspection, contended that perhaps Mace was not mentally capable of grasping reality.

“You know that didn’t happen, right? Are you ok? You seem to have been hallucinating a lot lately,” Olbermann sneered.

According to Fox News, “CNN published a video on Clinton’s devices scandal: ‘FBI: Clinton staff destroyed devices with hammers.’ Business Insider covered the same story back in 2016: ‘FBI: Aide destroyed 2 of Clinton’s phones by ‘breaking them in half or hitting them with a hammer.’ And Snopes, a fact-checking website, found that ‘[o]ne of Hillary Clinton’s aides told the FBI that on two occasions he disposed of her unwanted mobile devices by breaking or hammering them.'”

“Facts are a funny thing,” Mace wrote Monday on Twitter and then dealt an epic blow to Olbermann. “Fact. A hammer was used to destroy govt devices, and Hillary Clinton’s server was wiped out with a program called BleachBit, all fact checked by CNN (link below). Maybe your weed is stale. Who’s hallucinating now?”

Olbermann, never knowing when it would be wise to walk away, responded to Mace claiming she must know a lot about drugs, “Dear Ms. Mace, I’m intrigued by the fact that I suggested hallucinations, which can be caused by any number of things. Yet you jumped immediately to recreational drugs and problems effecting their efficacy. I don’t use any of these drugs; I’m surprised at your expertise.”

On Monday, he viciously tweeted, “Nancy still hasn’t figured out that if she were to destroy her iPhone and then smoke the pieces (which would explain her recent erratic behavior) the CONTENTS of her iPhone would still exist ‍♂️.”

Hillary Clinton appeared to mock former President Trump after he was indicted this week. Some accused her of gloating.

One Twitter user said as much, “The hubris of knowing you violated the same laws Trump is being accused of breaking… and gloating about getting away with it… is egregious even for you.”

Fox News reported on Clinton’s classified emails, “In September 2022, Clinton claimed investigators found ‘zero’ classified emails on her private email server, despite a 2018 government report saying 193 emails that were classified when they were drafted were sent to or from her server.”

The FBI also investigated Clinton in 2015 for holding classified information on her private email server at home. Miraculously and unsurprisingly, they also let her skate on it.
