Keith Olbermann Defends Charlie Kirk’s Assassin: ‘It Was Simply a Man Protecting Someone He Loved’

OLBERMANN: “Now that we can say with some certainty that if Tyler Robinson indeed shot Charlie Kirk, he shot him for personal reasons, because he saw Kirk as a direct threat to somebody he loved, that Robinson was not a stochastic proxy murderer from Antifa or the groypers or the right wingers who had so recently called Kirk a fraud, you know, like Laura Loomer. It is then also clear that there is truly only one person whose words created, amplified, mainstreamed and manufactured this nightmarish environment that has led to Charlie Kirk’s death. The leading threat in this country in this moment to the safety and the lives of conservatives and Republicans and MAGA commentators and politicians and civilians is not George Soros and it’s not Antifa and it’s not a Democrat or a liberal, nor a socialist nor an immigrant nor a transgendered person. The leading threat in this country, in this moment, to the safety and the lives of conservatives and Republicans and MAGA is Donald Trump. The individual who’s done the most to put the lives and welfare of all of us directly, and also by his perverted lead and demonic inspiration of others, is Donald Trump. The America in which Charlie Kirk was murdered, the America in which Melissa and Mark Hortman were murdered, the America in which Paul Pelosi was beaten, the America in which Donald Trump himself was shot is Donald Trump’s America. More of my commentary on that and my thanks to Kash Patel for again relighting the Trump’s team fire yesterday on the all-new Thursday’s ‘Countdown’ podcast.”
