Olbermann deletes and apologizes for ‘racist’ tweet comparing ‘whiny’ Trump to a slave

WaEx: Political commentator Keith Olbermann drew criticism over an Election Day tweet calling President Trump a “whiny little Kunta Kinte.”

“Yes @realDonaldTrump has always been, will always be, and on the day of his bid for re-election, still is: a whiny little Kunta Kinte,” the former MSNBC anchor tweeted Tuesday, referencing Kunta Kinte, a slave character from the 1976 novel Roots by author Alex Haley.

The tweet, which Olbermann deleted, drew criticism from many on Twitter, including sports journalist Jason Whitlock who tweeted, “Early leader for Election Derangement Tweet of the Day. Wow.” more here
