After it was announced President Biden had tested positive for COVID-19 Thursday, many took to Twitter to send well-wishes to the 79-year-old.
Clay Travis, host of The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, was not exactly in that camp, instead retweeting a screenshot of a statement that was allegedly from former President Trump.
“Donald Trump’s statement on Joe Biden testing positive for covid is a work of art” Travis tweeted.
Unfortunately for Travis, the statement was never issued by the former President.
22 minutes after sending the original tweet, Travis sent a follow up message that read “This is a parody. But should be the official statement. Still a work of art.”
The snafu didn’t go unnoticed by political commentator Keith Olbermann. The former MSNBC anchor tweeted “Thanks for confirming you’re a f***ing moron, and a member of the Easily-Led Hall of Fame, @ClayTravis” accompanied by the hashtag #FellForFakes.
Olbermann later erroneously tweeted Travis had deleted the initial tweet with a screenshot of the original message from Travis, calling him a “Sooooper genius” while doing so.
The two have often bashed one another over various topics. In May, Travis shared an article written for Outkick calling Olbermann a deranged lunatic for attacking a mother of five who homeschools her children on Mother’s Day. Their feud goes back as far as 2020, when Olbermann suggested Travis leave “the science to the adults” while calling him a “clownboy” for his opinion on one of Joe Biden’s advisors suggesting a 4-6 week lockdown during the height of the COVID pandemic.
Keith Oberman is a deranged Lunatic – That is all!
