    Radical Leftist Calls for “Economic Civil War” with Red States, “Starving” Red States “Into Submission” [WATCH]

    By Updated:

    As the leftists and RINOs continue to wring their hands and clutch their pearls over the January 6th trespassing incident, calling it an “insurrection,” a leftist is openly calling for blue states to wage an “economic civil war” against red states.

    That would be former MSNBC personality and leftist political commentator Keith Olbermann, who now hosts the “Countdown” podcast. He’s somehow moved even farther to the left since leaving MSNBC and showed it in an incendiary video posted to Twitter in which he called for an “economic civil war” to starve red states into submission to the left.

    In the tweet in which he posted the video, Olbermann also said “We are OWNED by guns. Only one thing will change that. “We must have Economic Civil War. Blue States must financially starve the Red States, the Gun Lobby, the GOP, the Death Lobby, and the crooked judiciary into submission. “NOW.” 

    As you can hear in the clip, Olbermann said much the same thing in the video as he did in the caption, saying:
    “We are owned by guns. And therefore there is only one way to stop the mass shootings. It is to suffocate the businesses that make billions of dollars in profits off guns to destroy the gun lobby, the death lobby and the Republican Party that defends those lobbies and those businesses.
    “And the only way to do that is an economic Civil War. The blue states have all the money, they must starve the red states into submission or another 600,000 Americans will be murdered in the next 10 to 12 years. That and more on the Wednesday Countdown podcast available now wherever you podcast.”
    Olbermann isn’t the only leftist to call for Civil War as the culture war heats up. Leftist actress Kathy Griffin did so as well before the 2022 midterms, posting “If you don’t want a Civil War, vote for Democrats in November. If you do want Civil War, vote Republican.”
    Senator Ted Cruz, responding to her, tweeted “This is WRONG. Crazy Hollywood Leftie threatening “Civil War” if Dems don’t win. Sadly, this is today’s Left: angry, hateful & violent.”

    Replying to Senator Cruz, Griffin said “You guys. The maga blue checks are at it again. Because they are constantly threatening Civil War, they are now trying to suggest that I am the one who is threatening a Civil War. Because you know, that’s my thing.”

    Joining in the Twitter spat, author, podcaster, and political commentator Michael Malice said “I don’t want to change your mind or argue with you, but I don’t want to share a country with you either. A peaceful divorce leaves everyone better off.”

    Also joining in the attack on Griffin was Jeremy Kappell, who said “The inherent message here couldn’t be more clear. If you don’t vote Democrat, there will be war. King George III had a similar message for the colonists just prior to our Independence. Don’t be bullied by Hollywood Propagandists.”
