Former ESPN and MSNBC contributor Keith Olbermann<\/a> posted an apology Tuesday after deleting a controversial social media post Monday directed at CNN conservative commentator Scott Jennings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Olbermann’s original posts were screenshotted by Townhall columnist Dustin Grage, showing Olbermann writing, “You\u2019re next motherf—er,” and “But keep mugging for the camera,” at Jennings nearly two weeks after Charlie Kirk<\/u><\/a> was assassinated at an event on the campus of Utah Valley University.<\/p>\n

Jennings later shared screenshots of Olbermann’s posts, tagging FBI Director Kash Patel.<\/p>\n

Olbermann’s apology post came Tuesday, suggesting his message was “misinterpreted.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I apologize without reservation to [Scott Jennings]. 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,” Olbermann wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“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 \u2014 but this time is especially wrong. I should’ve acknowledged the deletion and apologized yesterday. I’m sorry I delayed.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Olbermann has faced tremendous backlash in recent days for his controversial posts about Kirk and Jimmy Kimmel. He slighted the late conservative influencer<\/u><\/a> last week after it was announced that several TV affiliates, including those owned by Sinclair, would preempt Kimmel\u2019s show.<\/p>\n

“Burn in hell, Sinclair,” Olbermann wrote on X. “Alongside Charlie Kirk.”<\/p>\n

He maintained that nothing that Kimmel said in his comments about Kirk was untrue.<\/p>\n

Last week, Kimmel accused conservatives of reaching “new lows” in trying to pin a left-wing ideology on 22-year-old suspect Tyler Robinson, even though prosecutors reaffirmed those ties in his indictment.<\/p>\n

“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said.<\/p>\n

Kimmel\u2019s comments came one day after both FBI officials and Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said that Robinson\u00a0held a “leftist ideology”<\/u><\/a>\u00a0and was increasingly radicalized in recent years. It was also revealed that he had a romantic relationship with a transgender partner who was biologically male and transitioning to female.<\/p>\n
