As Twitchy has reported, former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard has been on the hot seat after spreading Russian propaganda about the existence of U.S.-funded biological laboratories in Ukraine. Sen. Mitt Romney said over the weekend that her remarks were treasonous. On Monday, Ana Navarro and her cohosts on “The View” argued that the Justice Department needs to go after Gabbard, and Fox News’ Tucker Carlson on whose show she appeared, as foreign agents of Vladimir Putin.
Leave it to the perpetually unhinged Keith Olbermann to take the insanity to the next level. Olbermann tweeted that there’s a case for the military to detain Gabbard and Carlson until there can be a trial.
They are Russian Assets and there is a war. There's a case for detaining them militarily. Trials are a sign of good faith and patience on the part of democracy.

There is a war? Is the United States involved in this war?
When did we declare war on Russia?
Or was it Ukraine that we declared war on?

I must have missed Joe Biden asking Congress for a declaration of war, much less him receiving one.

There is a war. Which we are not in.

Trials are not a sign of good faith. Trials are a right. You confuse the two but they are vastly different.

You would have made a good Soviet, but you think you’re the good guy here. Unreal.

Echoing @ananavarro and @MittRomney, @KeithOlbermann thinks Tulsi Gabbard and Tucker Carlson should be detained militarily based on war powers, and investigated to see if they are guilty of traitors or being Kremlin agents. Says they'll be lucky if they get a trial: pic.twitter.com/G0BWgHsL2x

My old boss @KeithOlbermann thinks there’s a case for military detention of Tulsi Gabbard and Tucker Carlson, adding, “Trials are a sign of good faith and patience on the part of a democracy.” https://t.co/DGWOOMgzyK

Everytime I think TDS has faded there's a new insanity clause that plays.

He went off the deep end years ago. & unless Congress declares war, there is no war on a legal basis, esp since US isn't even fighting unofficially.

I heard Keith wasn't such a bad guy before the accident.

The U.S. isn’t at war, and the First Amendment still applies. How are Gabbard and Carlson undermining the war effort without a war?
