Keith Olbermann appeared to threaten the life of Scott Jennings in an extreme way, telling him he's next to be killed and the FBI is now involved.
In a move that most would call insane following the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk less than two weeks ago, Olbermann is ready to do anything but turn down the violent rhetoric, telling the Townhall.com host he's next to die.

Olbermann's original post, before he deleted it, appeared to be a direct threat to the CNN contributor and Townhall.com host.
It can be seen below in the screenshot. Warning: it contains profanity.
"You're next, mother ……" Olbermann wrote in a reply to Jennings. "But keep mugging the camera."
Our sister site Townhall.com's Dustin Grage shared the screenshot before Olbermann could delete it.

"WOW: Keith Olbermann just threatened @ScottJenningsKY ," Grage's post read. "He quickly deleted the set of tweets after getting called out on it."
Jennings isn't playing around with these radicals on the left and sent the image of the post to the FBI.
"Cc: @FBIDirectorKash ," Jennings' post read, along with the screenshot.

This has to stop. Conservatives and Christians lost a giant in our movement when Kirk's suspected killer, influenced heavily by leftist ideology, decided to end Charlie's life when all he was doing was speaking to college kids on the campus of Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.
In response, we had to see vile leftists celebrate his murder and make up excuses to justify his killing. This came from radical professors on college campuses, K-12 teachers, professionals in the health field, and Democrats.
It has truly been sick and disgusting. On top of that, these same leftists absolutely lost their minds when late-night host Jimmy Kimmel's show was "indefinitely suspended” by ABC, with many on the left side equating it to the right losing Kirk.
And why did Kimmel find himself in trouble? Because executives at some of the largest ABC affiliates (Sinclair and Nexstar) were disgusted by his comments after Kirk's assassination, when he lied and blamed the murder on the MAGA gang. Even after law enforcement had made it clear that the suspected murderer, Tyler Robinson, was influenced by the left and had a trans-identifying male boyfriend.

And Olbermann was one of those who lost their minds over Kimmel's suspension.
Here's some of that unhinged response.

"Burn in hell, Sinclair.
Alongside Charlie Kirk.
Leftists need to stop now. If you didn’t think we needed more faith in this country after Kirk’s murder, what has happened since should have sealed that fact in stone. Please pray for our lost country.
