Keith Olbermann goes on Twitter tirade against Mitt Romney
Former television news personality Keith Olbermann attacked Utah Sen. Mitt Romney on Wednesday, starting with his family, then resurrecting a beef he had with Romney more than a year ago.
Olbermann started with Romney’s Twitter post from Christmas showing his large extended family, to which Olbermann said “Somebody gift these people some vasectomies.”

Replies to Olbermann’s post ran the gamut from users criticizing the crassness of his commentary to shows of virtual applause.
A few hours later, Olbermann resurfaced a statement from Romney in October of 2020 where he criticized harmful rhetoric coming from then-President Donald Trump, then used Olbermann calling Trump a “terrorist” as an example of similar comments coming from the left side of the political spectrum.
