Keith Olbermann, a prominent left-wing commentator, has been accused of promoting an unfounded conspiracy theory.
Olbermann suggested that former President Donald Trump fabricated an assassination attempt that reportedly occurred at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
In brief: Ronny Jackson isn't a doctor. Which is perfect, because Trump wasn't hit by a bullet.

According to The Post Millennial, Olbermann took to social media platform X, hinting at an episode of his podcast, where he questioned, “Why is Trump lying about the assassination attempt?” He further added, “Five days later there is no confirmation, not even an anonymous statement, from law enforcement or a medical authority that he was hit by a bullet.”

Olbermann is the latest to question Trump’s injuries. MSNBC host Joy Reid did the same, while legendary tennis star Martina Navratilova called the bandage around his ear a “PR” stunt.
