RETRACTION: Olbermann Did Not Tweet Out that Profanity-Laced Rant Against Trump

Correction: This piece originally covered a tweet reportedly sent via Keith Olbermann in which he ranted against President Trump in R-rated fashion. Actor James Woods provided a screenshot of the tweet in question, but shortly after admitted it was a fake. On Thursday, Olbermann directly responded to Townhall confirming that the tweet in question was a fake. As such, I will certainly honor his hashtag and apologize -> I'm sorry.

Hey @obrienc2 + @townhallcom you do realize this is not just a fake but a badly done one? Even @jameswoods realized it was a fake #Apologize https://t.co/6OjFAaqZM1
