Former ESPN Keith Olbermann Deletes Threatening Post Toward CNN's Scott Jennings

Keith Olbermann, former ESPN and MSNBC host, deleted a series of threatening posts on X directed at conservative CNN analyst Scott Jennings, including the phrase "You're next, motherfucker." Jennings shared screenshots of Olbermann's deleted posts and tagged FBI Director Kash Patel, prompting concerns over the nature of the threat. The posts appeared to respond to Jennings' comments on ABC reinstating late-night host Jimmy Kimmel after a suspension related to offensive remarks about conservative activist Charlie Kirk's assassination. This incident follows other controversial statements by Olbermann, including his previous remarks about Kirk being in hell, and has led to calls for Olbermann to seek mental health help. The situation reflects heightened political tensions and concerns about escalating rhetoric and potential violence amid the 2024 presidential election cycle. Olbermann has not publicly responded to the backlash or the FBI tagging as of now.
