Keith Olbermann appeared to threaten the life of Scott Jennings in an extreme way, telling him he’s next to be killed and the FBI is now involved.
In what many might view as reckless, following the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk a little under two weeks ago, Olbermann seems determined to escalate the aggressive dialogue, informing the Townhall.com host that he could be the next target.

Olbermann’s original post, before he deleted it, appeared to be a direct threat to the CNN contributor and Townhall.com host.
It can be seen below in the screenshot. Warning: it contains profanity.
“You’re next, mother ……” Olbermann wrote in a reply to Jennings. “But keep mugging the camera.”
Our sister site Townhall.com’s Dustin Grage shared the screenshot before Olbermann could delete it.

“WOW: Keith Olbermann just threatened @ScottJenningsKY ,” Grage’s post read. “He quickly deleted the set of tweets after getting called out on it.”
Jennings isn’t playing around with these radicals on the left and sent the image of the post to the FBI.
“Cc: @FBIDirectorKash ,” Jennings’ post read, along with the screenshot.

This cycle of violence needs to come to a halt. The conservative and Christian communities mourn the loss of Kirk, a key figure, whose suspected assassin, heavily swayed by radical liberal beliefs, chose to end his life while he was merely engaging with college students at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.
Following Kirk’s tragic death, some extreme leftists have appallingly celebrated the crime and concocted justifications for it. This disturbing behavior stemmed from radical professors, K-12 educators, healthcare professionals, and even members of the Democratic party.
Such reactions have been truly unsettling. Furthermore, these same individuals became outraged when Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show was “indefinitely suspended” by ABC. Many left-wing supporters equated this suspension to the loss experienced by the right with Kirk’s death.
Why did Kimmel face backlash? Executives from major ABC affiliates like Sinclair and Nexstar were appalled by his remarks following Kirk’s assassination, where he falsely attributed the blame to the MAGA community. This was despite law enforcement clarifying that the alleged murderer, Tyler Robinson, was influenced by leftist views and had a trans-identifying male partner.

And Olbermann was one of those who lost their minds over Kimmel’s suspension.
Here’s some of that unhinged response.
One post read.

And this one that’s even worse.
Burn in hell, Sinclair.

“Burn in hell, Sinclair.
Alongside Charlie Kirk.
Leftists need to stop now. If you didn’t think we needed more faith in this country after Kirk’s murder, what has happened since should have sealed that fact in stone. Please pray for our lost country.
