Liberals are hyperventilating over news that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., has pledged to provide over 40,000 hours of video from the January 6 Capitol riot exclusively to Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Among those whose heads are exploding is Keith Olbermann, perhaps the most unhinged has-been liberal hatemonger ever to show his face on video.
Responding to the news, Olbermann demanded that Fox News be shut down as a “threat to national security,” suggesting the footage could be used to “provide a roadmap” for future “insurrectionists” to evade detection.
“It is time to de-platform and close down FoxNews as a threat to national security.
“@SpeakerMcCarthy has given @TuckerCarlson 41,000 hours of 1/6 Video so he can gaslight the coup AND next time provide a roadmap past detection.”

Olbermann’s equally unhinged acolytes agreed, naturally, but more sane Twitter users had thoughts:
Keith’s fascist recommendation of the day.

It’s to be expected, coming from a fascist…
How would it be gaslighting if you are seeing the actual video?
I personally think it should be released directly to the public so blowhards like you can’t say it was altered. You’re saying as much even before anything’s been seen. It should be made downloadable from the… https://t.co/R01Dy9xXbk

The left of the 1960s used to be about freedom of speech and expression, against big business, “The Man” and the war machine. Today they’ve done a complete 180 and are for everything they were once against.
My guess is it was never about issues, just who controlled the issues.— Markus (@Markus1129) February 21, 2023
I remember those days well. Now it’s just about hatred and control.
Sir, with all due respect (which is none), I think you have mental issues.

No argument there…
Guess you aren’t liking the threat to free speech that has come to light? Maybe you should be the one shut down for disinformation? Keep gaslighting Keith. You are good at that!

And not much else…
Are you scared the release of the tapes will collapse the J6 house of cards that was so carefully constructed by the left? ????

And pushed by the lying liberal media that had absolutely no concern for what actually happened…
dude, just a couple of days ago you made an argument that blue states need to starve out red states.
You’re as has been. Delete your account.

To be fair, unhinged bloodthirsty rhetoric is nothing new for Olbermann:
And there’s plenty more. One could easily be excused for thinking THIS is what Olbermann REALLY wants for the millions of Americans who support the former president:
I wouldn’t be surprised if Olbermann secretly fantasizes about being the guy holding the gun in the photo above.
Twitchy informs us that Olbermann wasn’t the only one to lose his cookies over the news:
“…both Rep. Adam Schiff and CNN analyst Adam Kinzinger are having tantrums that Speaker Kevin McCarthy has given more than 40,000 hours of January 6 footage to Tucker Carlson and his staff. Plenty reminded Kinzinger that Congress has had this footage all along and that his select committee chose to work with a former ABC producer to edit together a “highlight reel” for the public.”
Have an issue? Here’s a tissue.
Adam Kinzinger LOSING it over Tucker Carlson having J6 footage says SO MUCH (and it ain’t good, for HIM)https://t.co/FlAPoskJgD

Jamie Raskin also jumped on the bandwagon:
McCarthy giving 40,000 hrs of Jan. 6 tape to a pro-Putin journalist is an astounding ethical collapse. What security precautions were taken to keep this from becoming a roadmap for 2024 insurrection? Why isn’t it available to all media & public? Smell the MAGA propaganda coming.
— Rep. Jamie Raskin (@RepRaskin) February 20, 2023
But as more than one person observed:
Then why didn’t YOU release it when YOU sat on your propaganda Committee?
Smell the Democrat cover up coming.

This, by the way, IS the modern left. No wonder Marjorie Taylor Greene advocated a national divorce…
