The unhinged rantings of far-left media personality Keith Olbermann reached a new low this week after he appeared to threaten CNN senior political contributor Scott Jennings with the chilling words, “You’re next, motherf**ker.”
Olbermann, in a now-deleted social media rant, went after Jennings for condemning Disney’s move to bring back Jimmy Kimmel Live! even after Kimmel’s disgraceful assassination monologue about conservative icon Charlie Kirk.
“You’re next, motherf***er… But keep mugging to the camera.”

Olbermann’s threats didn’t stop there. In another post, the washed-up sports commentator turned radical activist wrote, “Now we get the fascists off real tv. That’d mean your career is next, Jennings. Send a tape to Real America’s Voice But keep mugging to camera, amateur,” according to Daily Mail.
The tirade was triggered by Jennings’ criticism of ABC’s decision to reinstate Jimmy Kimmel following his appalling monologue about Kirk’s assassination. Jennings noted on X that the suspension had nothing to do with “authoritarianism” but was simply the consequence of Kimmel being an “insensitive p****.”
“So basically his employer suspended him for being an insensitive p****, and we don’t live in an authoritarian regime? Got it,” Jennings wrote.

Reacting to the screenshots, Jennings tagged FBI Director Kash Patel, signaling that he considered the comments to be more than just media trash-talk. With tensions still raw just weeks after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the menacing tone of Olbermann’s rant was impossible to ignore.

This latest meltdown came only days after Olbermann blasted the Sinclair Broadcast Group for pulling Kimmel’s show from its affiliates in protest.
Sinclair Broadcast Group, the largest ABC affiliate group, shared a statement on X saying that Kimmel’s suspension is not enough and called on the FCC and ABC to take additional action. Sinclair’s ABC stations will air a special in remembrance of Kirk during Kimmel’s spot.
“Mr. Kimmel’s remarks were inappropriate and deeply insensitive at a critical moment for our country,” said Vice Chairman Jason Smith. “We believe broadcasters have a responsibility to educate and elevate respectful, constructive dialogue in our communities. We appreciate FCC Chairman Carr’s remarks today, and this incident highlights the critical need for the FCC to take immediate regulatory action to address control held over local broadcasters by the big national networks.”
Olbermann responded to the news by telling Sinclair broadcasting to “Burn in hell…..alongside Charlie Kirk.”
