Keith Olbermann Backpedals Furiously With Apology for Threatening CNN’s Scott Jennings – Jennings Responds (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit | by Mike LaChance

In recent news, former MSNBC host and unpredictable commentator Keith Olbermann stirred the pot by appearing to issue a threat to CNN’s conservative personality, Scott Jennings, via Twitter. Olbermann’s message contained the ominous warning: ‘You’re next motherf**ker,’ raising eyebrows and hackles across the political spectrum.

However, it seems that some might have intervened behind the scenes, possibly including a nudge from the FBI, as Olbermann promptly backtracked, issuing a heartfelt apology for his comments shortly after the incident.

RedState summarized the events leading up to the apology:

In the context of breaking news regarding comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s reinstatement, Jennings remarked on Twitter, “So basically his employer suspended him for being an insensitive pr**k, and we don’t live in an authoritarian regime? Got it.” The reply from Olbermann, seen by many (Jennings included) as threatening, was a pointed dig, advising Jennings to keep ‘mugging to the camera.’

Although the FBI has not officially confirmed any investigations, it’s clear that Olbermann reconsidered his words, later deleting them and addressing the situation through a series of tweets filled with apologies and retractions:

I apologize without reservation to @ScottJenningsKY. Yesterday I wrote and immediately deleted 2 responses to him about Kimmel because they could be misinterpreted as a threat to anything besides his career. I immediately replaced them with ones specifying what I actually meant. pic.twitter.com/SPWLb73nEk

I oppose and condemn political violence, and the threat of it. All times are the wrong time to leave even an inadvertent impression of it – but this time is especially wrong. I should’ve acknowledged the deletion and apologized yesterday. I’m sorry I delayed.

In a display of grace and wit, Scott Jennings responded amusingly to Olbermann’s antics, tweeting:

Ultimately, this chain of events highlights a troubling trend: the volatile intersection of rhetoric and political commentary in an era where social media amplifies every outburst. Olbermann’s frantic recantation serves as a reminder that even seasoned commentators must navigate the fine line between spirited debate and incendiary threats. Perhaps it’s time for a collective pause, lest we find ourselves in a whirlwind of misunderstandings that veer into dangerous territory.
