Overview

• Screenshots captured by Townhall columnist Dustin Grage show Keith Olbermann replying to Scott Jennings on X with “You’re next, motherf***er” and “But keep mugging to the camera,” posts that were later deleted.
• Jennings reposted the grabs and tagged FBI Director Kash Patel, saying he viewed the remarks as a threat and forwarding them to the bureau.
• In the same exchange, Olbermann also wrote, “Now we get the fascists off real tv… that’d mean your career is next, Jennings,” which some interpreted as referring to Jennings’ on-air role.
• The FBI said it does not comment on or confirm investigations, and Olbermann had not publicly responded to inquiries as of the latest reports.
• The back-and-forth followed Disney’s decision to restore Jimmy Kimmel’s show after controversy tied to Charlie Kirk’s killing, with Sinclair and Nexstar saying they will continue to preempt the program this week.
