Here are the key takeaways from the article:
- Keith Olbermann exemplifies absurd overreaction by immediately claiming President Trump’s capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro “endangered every man, woman and child” through an “illegal and personal war against Venezuela.”
- Olbermann demanded Trump’s immediate impeachment and removal, shooting from the hip without facts, as he always does.
- The article mocks Olbermann’s hysteria as the clear winner of the “January 2026 Keith Olbermann Hysteria award” for its sheer lameness.
- Trump’s operation is portrayed as a bold tactical success that removed a major threat, given Maduro’s regime’s role in flooding the U.S. with drugs like cocaine, crack, fentanyl, and laced cannabis.
- MSNBC (sarcastically called MS-NOW) interrupted programming to air panicked coverage, featuring anchors like Ali Velshi and Rachel Maddow, plus guests such as John Brennan, Eric Swalwell, and various Democratic senators who reflexively defended authoritarianism abroad.
- Even the Washington Post praised the move as “one of the boldest moves a president has made in years” and an “unquestionable tactical success,” highlighting the disconnect with leftist media outrage.
- The piece highlights Democratic hypocrisy: critics who attack Trump for strong action against a dictator end up unwittingly defending authoritarian regimes.
- Olbermann’s long career decline—from ESPN, MSNBC’s Countdown, GQ webcasts, to getting fired by Rupert Murdoch at FOX Sports Net—underscores his current irrelevance and frantic commentary style.
