Former ESPN broadcaster Keith Olbermann offered “advice” to former President Trump. This came after President Biden withdrew from his re-election campaign and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party’s potential nominee.
Olbermann questioned if Trump was actually shot in the assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania campaign rally last weekend.
“Advice to Trump: Flee. Now,” he wrote, reminding about the assassination attempt.
“A reminder that there is STILL no evidence Trump was hit by a bullet and STILL lots of evidence he’s lying about it.”
Olbermann’s questions continued after Congressman Ronny Jackson, Trump’s former physician, made a statement. Jackson said he evaluated Trump in Bedminster, New Jersey, last week.
Jackson stated Trump had a gunshot wound to the right ear from a high-powered rifle.
“The bullet track produced a 2 cm-wide wound that extended to the cartilaginous surface of the ear,” Jackson explained. “There was significant bleeding initially, followed by marked swelling of the entire upper ear. The swelling has since resolved, and the wound is beginning to granulate and heal properly.”
“Due to the highly vascular nature of the ear, there is still intermittent bleeding requiring a dressing. No sutures were needed due to the broad and blunt nature of the wound.”
Olbermann responded critically on X. “In brief: Ronny Jackson isn’t a doctor. Which is perfect, because Trump wasn’t hit by a bullet,” he wrote.
Trump, with a bandage over his right ear at the Republican National Convention, recalled being wounded by the would-be assassin in Butler, Pennsylvania. He stated he was “struck by a bullet” last week.
