Has ever there been a dumpster fire more disgusting yet entertaining than Keith Olbermann’s Twitter takes?
On November 17, the sports commentator and internet loudmouth decided to respond to a five-day-old tweet from political commentator Stephen Miller (aka @RedSteeze) commenting on Biden’s use of “Negro” during an anecdote.
And he got real mad.
He said “Negro Leagues,” you cretin. They were segregated baseball leagues – kept that way by Republicans – and one was literally called “The Negro National League”

When it was clear that he was not only going to get ratioed, but that people were making fun of his hot take as well, he did what one with no logical argument does in that situation:
He doubled down, and added in some more insults for good measure.
All of you are either dishonest brokers in this scam, or you’re the targets of the scam. In either case, welcome to the wrong end of Dunning-Kruger Effect. Enjoy wallowing in your stupidity https://t.co/CYLBBj8m6U

Twitter took him to the woodshed, as they do:
Since Mr. Sportscaster here doesn’t seem to know. Keeping black folks out of baseball was an agreement amongst the owners and NOT a law. Oh and Branch Rickey was a conservative Republican you complete potato https://t.co/H5e3ByJS9G

Branch Rickey was a Republican.. you know.. the guy that signed Jackie Robinson to the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Both Jackie Robinson & Branch Rickey were Republicans. The color line was an understood agreement by MLB owners from the mid 1880’s until 1946. Not a law, just an agreement.

He called Paige by that word, not just the league, Keithy

I see they let you near a keyboard again, huh?
Time for your pill, Keith.

Why are you replying to nearly a week-old tweet? You must’ve been digging through archives like Indiana Jones for this one

You seem really angry at folks pointing out this obvious media hypocrisy. Left gaffes = let’s find the contect. Right gaffes = cancel them!
You know @KeithOlbermann, I bet you’d be more persuasive if you eased up on the ad hominems and tried instead to infuse a little humor.

The irony of you posting something, anything really, about Dunning-Kruger effect is completely lost on you… because of the Dunning-Kruger effect…
Pure gold!

Joe Biden was notorious for this sort of thing even before he developed dementia.

For reference, BizPac Review reported on President Joe Biden’s remarks during the event:
“Happy Birthday. Thank you for your service to our country. And I just want to tell you, I know you are a little younger than I am, but you know, I’ve adopted the attitude of the great negro at the time — pitcher in the Negro league who went on to become a great pitcher in the pros — in the Major League Baseball after Jackie Robinson,” he said.
Say what? Biden’s tribute to ‘great negro at the time’ Satchel Paige doesn’t sit well with a lot of folks https://t.co/LFNFtQSUEG pic.twitter.com/7Rj4onXvpZ
