keith olbermann tweets back to lindsey who calls biden's speech "brazen politicization of Jan.6"



So your party's attempt to overthrow democracy was a non-partisan event? Once you were a Senator, grudgingly respected by your opponents. Now you are a Trump Whore. Flee the country.

(i abbreviated the word january to fit in opening line)

(on edit: i just heard what the trump response was to biden's speech--and he mentioned Afghanistan which explains why fucking lindsey mentioned Afghanistan. i was wondering why he pulled that reference out of his ass. lol.)

He’s butted heads to some degree with whoever he’s worked for.

He just needs to have his own platform. He’d be more effective that way.

Donahue!

Now they wonder why their ratings are the pits and Ali Velshi is running all over to keep the station going. Mika and Joe are what Keith called Lindsey. They helped elect their dear friend Donald until he turned on them. Joe forgets he was a ring leader in the Clinton witch hunt. They are tired, boresome.

As a gay man, Lying Lindseybelle Graham DOESN'T DESERVE BETTER! Truly, he's one of the most vile, treacherous and repugnant slimeballs existant in D.C...a closeted gay man who's consistently thrown LGBTQ ppl under the bus FOR HIS OWN GAIN...and one who's also SUPPORTING THE OVERTHROW of our democracy. You, of couse, have the right to be offended by said comment...I say there's NO insult on earth that traitor hasn't earned and/or brought on himself.

After all, your constituents don't actually hear the news, they hear the news you want them to hear.

Time for politicians to hit back HARD on these Trumpinistas.

He doesn’t necessarily need a TV gig. He, Jeff Tiedrich, Steve Schmidt, and other articulate GOP critics just need to keep on talking and tweeting. It all helps.

If you love America, you can't love rioters invading the Capitol. Today, there is only one side you can be on and if you aren't, you do not love this country.

I unfriended several people, including relatives who still defended traitor after that day.

We have people like Barack and Joe who are trying to do good with their lives. Then of course we have a runaway lunatic would be Hitler and his adoring sycophants like that piece of garbage from South Carolina.

Right now good is triumphing over evil. Let’s hope it stays that way and lead by Joe we’re fighting off these no good worthless pieces of trash that is our modern day republican party. Yes there are some decent people like Cheney trying to stand up to the assholes in her party but unfortunately they’re not enough of them at this point.

What non-political motivation was behind it?

And don't give us the 'rowdy tourists just looking over the place' line.

Photos and video tell a different story.

If you want to rewrite history, try harder! Better still, just don't bother.
