Keith Olbermann clearly needs some help. On his Thursday Countdown podcast, the former MSNBC and ESPN host unleashed deranged attacks on President Donald Trump and former President George W. Bush, accusing the former of being behind the Minneapolis Catholic school shooting and the latter of staging terrorist threats to get himself re-elected. The common thread, for Olbermann, is that Democrats need to come out and simply speak this “truth” in order to win.

Despite his claims of being a politically incorrect truth-teller, Olberman’s anti-Trump rant included the evidence-free assertion that Trump and others have committed some sort of crime:

You want these to be the last, maybe. You want the people who cause these nightmares: gun makers, and the lawmakers who prostitute themselves for gun money, Republicans, MAGA, Trumpists. You want them to pay for their crimes. You want people to recognize that standing ghost-like behind that subhuman creature shooting into a school chapel service yesterday. The figure in the background is Trump. Like in one of his own cheesy memes with gentrified white Jesus standing behind him, you want any of that to happen, you start with one thing. You have to say it.
