The personality of television, Keith Olbermann, speaks on stage during the Olbermann panel at the ESPN part of the 2013 TV review of summer television reviews at the Beverly Hilton hotel on July 24, 2013 in Beverly Hills, California.
Olbermann’s apology came on Tuesday, suggesting that his message was “misinterpreted”.
“I apologize without reservation to [Scott Jennings]. Yesterday, I immediately wrote and deleted 2 answers to him about Kimmel because they could be misinterpreted as a threat to something other than his career. I immediately replaced them by those specifying what I meant, “wrote Olbermann.
“I oppose and condemn political violence, and the threat of it. All time is the wrong time to leave an impression inadvertently – but this time is particularly wrong. I should have recognized the suppression and excused yesterday. I am sorry to have delayed.”
Olbermann has faced a huge reaction in recent days for his controversial articles on Kirk and Jimmy Kimmel. He despised the late conservative influencer Last week after, it was announced that several television affiliates, including those belonging to Sinclair, would preempt Kimmel’s show.

“Burn in Hell, Sinclair,” wrote Olbermann on X. “Alongside Charlie Kirk.”
He argued that Kimmel said in his comments on Kirk was not wrong.
Last week, Kimmel accused the conservatives of having reached “new stockings” trying to pin a left -wing ideology on the 22 -year -old suspect, Tyler Robinson, even if the prosecutors reaffirmed these links in his accusation act.
“We have struck new stockings during the weekend with the gang Maga trying desperately to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as something other than one of them and do everything they can to score political points,” said Kimmel.

It was also revealed that he had a romantic relationship with a transgender partner who was biologically male and going to a woman.
