On the October 6, 2016 edition of his GQ.com video diary, The Closer, ex-MSNBC host Keith Olbermann went on a rant against GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump:
“I would sooner and happily vote for a third term of George W. Bush, rather than five minutes of President Donald Trump. Donald Trump is the scum of the Earth. And the only way I would not believe that Donald Trump is not the scum of the Earth, is if Donald Trump himself told me he was the scum of the Earth because then I would know he is lying about it, and somebody else was scum of the Earth. We have had enough!”
