On Thursday, commentator Keith Olbermann urged Americans to boycott the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump.
"It's very simple," he said. "Don't go, don't watch, don't tweet, don't respond, don't spend money on it, don't spend one brain cell on it."
"Depend upon this," Olbermann joked, "if the Bible leaps from his touch or the authorities arrest him for violating the Logan Act, you will hear about it."
"If you're an elected Democratic official, under no circumstances should you attend," he continued. "I don't want to hear about you 'working with him,' unless you're working to move him to the Caymans. I want to hear about your plans to impeach him or force him to resign."
Olbermann blasted Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NB) who urged Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) to attend Trump's inauguration and "celebrate the peaceful transition of power."
"Senator," Olbermann said, "if you think that we or anyone else will let you normalize the transfer of power to a racist, seemingly psychotic Russian plant, perhaps you should look again at how heroes like John Lewis responded the last time the white supremacists of this country insisted that this was about power and that we should all accept its use and its misuse peacefully."
