During Wednesday’s podcast of Countdown With Keith Olbermann, the host named Tucker Carlson as the runner up for Worst Persons in the World after his insinuation that the prospective kidnappers of Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) were political pawns.
“Last week, the Jiminy Glick soundalike told his viewers that the attempt to kidnap the Governor of Michigan Gretchen Whitmer in hopes of starting a second Civil War was ‘a setup by the government to make a group of ordinary people in Michigan look like terrifying right wing extremists’,” Olbermann said as he impersonated Carlson.
Jiminy Glick was a fake journalist portrayed by Martin Short on the Comedy Central show Primetime Glick in the early 2000s.
Adam Fox and Barry Croft were convicted of conspiring to kidnap the Michigan governor in 2020. They now face a potential life sentence for their crimes.
“What a shock. The kidnapper not named Barry Croft is named…FOX,” Olbermann concluded. Olbermann accused Carlson of “parroting facistspeak” earlier this month.
