Keith Olbermann Airs Out Ex-MSNBC Colleague Tweety for Terrible Take on Trump and RBG

With a ratio of more than 10,000 replies to fewer than than 2,000 retweets and counting, this tweet from disgraced MSNBC host Chris Matthews is already being touted as the worst take of 2020.

“Trump is right to show respect for RBG,” Matthews tweeted Monday morning, after President Donald Trump went on Fox & Friends and baselessly claimed that the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s dying wish was some sort of left-wing hoax. “True presidential behavior,” he added. “Far too rare.”

The most eye-popping replies, however, came from Matthews’ former MSNBC colleague Keith Olbermann, who tweeted: “Every day. Every day I had to go through this.”

“I mean, anybody else see him on ‘Mission Accomplished’ night? I had to, I was co-anchoring,” Olbermann added, appending the facepalm emoji to punctuate his point.

Him and Rachel. Back then, that s the only program on MSNBC I watched and still watch Rachel. I’d watch K O if he were still on.

miss them both so much - although I don't know if they would survive this election if they were on a show - you can only hit your head on a desk so many times before it takes its toll...
