Ultimately, it suggests that despite his harsh remarks, wishing \u2064harm upon him or his loved ones\u2062 is unwarranted, and hopes for\u2063 a change in his viewpoint.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>No matter what tragedy plagues our existence, Keith Olbermann is the last person who needs to give his two cents.<\/p>\n<p>The former correspondent for networks like CNN and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/espns-stephen-smith-attempts-make-nfl-coachs-firing-race\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ESPN<\/a> did just that on Wednesday, posting to social media platform X on the California wildfires and how they&rsquo;ve impacted conservatives in that state.<\/p>\n<p>He didn&rsquo;t just blast those on the other end of the political spectrum, he outright stated they were not &ldquo;human.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Olbermann was responding to host of &ldquo;Last Week on X&rdquo; Angela Belcamino who screenshotted a post by University of Missouri Professor Karen Piper who relished in actor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/leftists-sickening-response-conservative-actor-james-woods-home-burns-california-fire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">James Woods<\/a> losing his home.<\/p>\n<p>Belcamino put out a call to &ldquo;Be better,&rdquo; seeing Piper&rsquo;s despicable post as something that shouldn&rsquo;t be the norm when people are having their lives destroyed.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>Olbermann couldn&rsquo;t resist chiming in.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">This is the attitude that lost the election.
