This week’s Liberal Media Scream features TV ranter Keith Olbermann in true Trump Derangement Syndrome mode, demanding “prison” for President Trump and his children and staff.
On his YouTube channel just before Christmas, Olbermann showed just how much he suffers from TDS when he said, “Donald Trump should spend the rest of his life in prison! His grifting sons and daughters should spend the rest of their lives in prison! His disgusting henchmen, from William Barr to Stephen Miller to Steve Bannon, should spend the rest of their lives in prison!”
The MSNBC and ESPN veteran called on President-elect Joe Biden to select an attorney general “who’s first act after the inauguration will be to appoint an independent special counsel with a full remit to investigate and prosecute anyone and anything connected to the Trump criminal presidency. Period!” He thundered, “And Trump first. Then this country can heal. Not before!”
Olbermann in his Wednesday night, Dec. 23, “Worst Person in the World!” commentary on his YouTube page, subtitled as an edition of No. 43 of his “Olbermann vs. Trump” series:
“Can there be any assessment of Donald Trump’s occupancy of our White House that does not bluntly concede that he is the head of an organized crime family? And he and all who went down the path of corruption and immorality with him must spend the rest of their lives in court defending their contempt for the law, defending their contempt for ethics, defending their contempt for America.
“I have both deep admiration and personal affection for President-elect Biden, and if there is one political figure who can accomplish the healing he has repeatedly said he wants, it is him and his desire to keep the White House out of the Justice Department is noble and correct, but healing can only follow justice.
“Donald Trump should spend the rest of his life in prison! His grifting sons and daughters should spend the rest of their lives in prison! His disgusting henchmen, from William Barr to Stephen Miller to Steve Bannon, should spend the rest of their lives in prison! Those fascist, anti-democracy Trump conspirators attempting right now to overthrow the government of the United States, from Rudy Giuliani to Sidney Powell to House Minority Leader McCarthy to the other 125 Republican representatives, they should spend the rest of their lives in prison!
“Therefore, I call upon President-elect Biden to select as an attorney general someone who’s first act after the inauguration will be to appoint an independent special counsel with a full remit to investigate and prosecute anyone and anything connected to the Trump criminal presidency. Period! And Trump first. Then this country can heal. Not before!”
Media Research Center Vice President Brent Baker explains our weekly pick: “If any verbal outburst has ever earned five out of five screams, this is it. Olbermann defines ‘unhinged’ in the Trump era, consumed with a vitriolic anger that has eclipsed all reason as his quest for vengeance has turned him into a parody of someone long ago diagnosed with Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
