Town Hall reports, MSNBC’s former host, Keith Olbermann slammed Trump for his handling of the coronavirus.

Olbermann claimed that Donald Trump should be charged with 220,000 murders as a result of the 2020 coronavirus pandemic.

“We’re all tired but mostly I’m tired of the needless sickness and the needless death and the needless terror because this mentally incompetent, inhumane, dumb bastard has lied about this disease in a thousand different ways, a different way for every political need he has sensed.”

“And I’m tired of the thought that we are now going to repeat the months of March and April in the country, a country that should have learned something!”

“But which, in large part, has been authorized to wallow and die in its own stupidity because of one man, one dumb bastard, one selfish son of a b**ch.”

“Donald Trump should be on trial for 220,000 murders, death penalty for each count,” Olbermann said.
