Former ‘SportsCenter’ host Keith Olbermann attracted some crude comments after calling for Donald Trump’s impeachment over the weekend.
Olbermann wants the POTUS to be taken to task over the strikes on Venezuela and the arrest of Nicolas Maduro.
Trump gloated about his successful military operation on Saturday morning. He shared a post revealing that members of the armed forces had captured Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.
Many Venezuelans have called for Maduro and his wife to be freed. However, others have openly celebrated the capture of their President. The South American nation has endured inflation, poverty, violence, and gang warfare. And it’s become clear that many citizens believe Maduro’s removal is a step in the right direction.
Popular golf star Jhonattan Vegas was among those who approved of the decision. Still, others, including Olbermann, have been critical of Trump.
“Trump has now endangered every man, woman, and child in this nation by his insane and illegal personal war against Venezuela,” The former ESPN employee wrote in a tweet.“He must be impeached and removed from office immediately.”
Olbermann is a known Trump detractor, while many others support the move. As a result, users keyed in on the notion that Venezuela would be better off without Maduro in power.
