Olbermann Takes on ‘Scum of the Earth’ Donald Trump and It’s Glorious
Keith Olbermann has “had enough” of Donald Trump, his supporters, his enablers and collaborators.
The brilliant and bombastic former MSNBC anchor sorely needed back at the formerly progressive news network says in his latest video for GQ that the anger felt by Trump supporters is nothing compared to the anger felt by “real Americans, liberals and conservatives driven together in common defense of this nation,” who “have had enough.”Â
Olbermann posits that those Trump supporters feel “excluded from control of a nation their fathers and grandfathers once dominated because they had built the playing field and had not merely tilted it towards themselves but had filled it at the other end with land mines to disempower the minorities and women.”Â
“The angry white male Trump voters,” Olbermann righteously declares, “are not alone, they are not a majority, and they are not even angriest.”
“We have had enough,” Olbermann declares, delivering a litany of grievances against Trump, whom he calls the “scum of the earth,” a “fascist who wants to end this democracy,” “Mussolini in makeup,” and a “Thanksgiving Day parade balloon in a suit.”
Olbermann slams the political “has-beens” who have supported Trump, “like Newt Gingrich and Rudy Giuliani and Rush Limbaugh,” and “the collaborators like Kellyanne Conway, Chris Christie, Mike Pence, and Sean Hannity
The former MSNBC “Countdown” anchor takes on many others, by name, slamming “enablers like Joe Scarborough, and Senators Ayotte and McConnell,” and Speaker Paul Ryan.
It’s one of Olbermann’s best for GQ, and a must-watch:
