NEW YORK (AP) — Keith Olbermann says he is so certain President Donald Trump will be impeached or resign that he is “retiring from political commentary in all media venues.”
Olbermann has starred in a series of online video commentaries about the Trump presidency for GQ Magazine titled “The Resistance.” Olbermann said the episode released Monday would be his final one. He says the series was intended to be a temporary two-month project.
Olbermann says he has said everything he has to say on Trump and would like to enjoy some of his life again. He adds that there is “no illness, no scandal, no firing” to blame for his departure.
GQ didn’t immediately respond for a request for comment Tuesday.
Olbermann has previously hosted shows on MSNBC, Current TV, ESPN and Fox Sports.
Olbermann was the one of the few voices that seemed to share my own sense of outrage at the Feeble-Minded Lying Orange Urine-Stain in the White House. I will miss his commentaries.
Well you can’t say he didn’t give it his all during W’s years. And in those days the GOP was less overt (in a plausible-deiniability kinda way) in its being the racist, stupid party, and fox news was less obvious in its role as GOP party organ. We needed him more in the 00’s. But I’ve missed his comments recently.
I enjoyed his video series on Trump, though I’ve fallen out of touch with it recently. Worth a watch - his outrage is cathartic.
I’m not so certain. Congress will never impeach unless they feel their seats are at risk.
If there were an election again today… I’m not so certain Trump wouldn’t be re-elected. He brought the hate, the bigotry, the anger, the fear that he promised.
I see next to nobody that voted for him expressing any regret or remorse.
Keith will be missed.
We need him now more than ever.
He so reminded me of Murrow.
“Good Night and Good Luck.”
