NOMINEES:
Keith Olbermann: Trump’s “Gestapo” Committed Terrorist Act to “Feed” His “Sadistic, Blood-Lusting, Psychotic” Base
“This is Trump’s terrorism. This is the Kent State of our time. The peaceful, unarmed protestor murdered by Trump’s ICE. While Trump’s lie-factory and Trump personally smeared her, blamed her. Made up a story or a threat where there was no threat. Altered images, lied about her, lied about what the Gestapo did. The Gestapo they sent to kill Americans in American cities, in order to make videos to feed the sadistic, blood-lusting psychotics who support Trump. And if you support this, if you support Trump, if you countenance this on our streets against citizens or non-citizens or police or anybody, you are a sadistic blood-lusting psychotic! That is Donald Trump’s base!”— Former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann on his Countdown podcast, January 8.
Don Lemon to ICE Agents: F**k Off, You Dumb Jack-Booted Nazis!
“F**k off, ICE! F**k all the way off! You are low-life losers. And you feel empowered by your dear leader, Donald Trump….You are treating people in an inhumane way and you don’t even understand why because you’re too dumb to figure it out. You are the poorly educated that Donald Trump loves….You’re out there doing his bidding, doing things that are illegal, doing things that are unconstitutional, doing things that are inhumane, like killing someone….You are fat fuck losers who just crawled out of a trailer park from some Proud Boy meeting….You are thugs, jack-booted thugs….You stupid, dumb, ignorant, poorly educated, Proud Boys, Nazis marching through.”— Former CNN anchor Don Lemon on The Don Lemon Show podcast, January 9.
Jimmy Kimmel: “Maniac” Trump Is Killing People Overseas and in Minneapolis
“They’re trying out a new slogan: ‘Donald J. Trump is gonna kill you!’ Pretty good, right? This maniac, he isn’t just killing people overseas. An ICE agent today shot and killed an unarmed 37-year-old woman during an ICE operation in Minneapolis, who were there under the guise of protecting us….Now that is the shirt I want to see, to ICE, ‘Get the [bleep] out of Minneapolis.” Get the [bleep] out of all these cities.”— Host Jimmy Kimmel on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, January 7.
