GQ Special Correspondent Keith Olbermann thinks Donald Trump has officially lost any moral authority he may have had to lead the United States.
On Tuesday's episode of "The Resistance," Olbermann went on an epic rant about how the Tiki corporation and Detroit Red Wings have shown more leadership than Trump has. The white national protesters in Charlottesville were seen marching with both images of the Red Wings team logo and lit tiki torches as they protested through the streets.
"This is an inarguable fact: Donald Trump is less tough on those who would tear this country apart than are a professional hockey team and a backyard accessories company," Olbermann said, pointing out that the Red Wings NHL franchise and Tiki company has released better received statements regarding the white nationalist violence in Charlottesville, VA. over the weekend.

View Story"The moral authority of this nation is better represented right now by the Detroit Red Wings and the Tiki company than by the man we have to admit to the world is the goddamn President of the United States."
"When a hockey team better represents the intrinsic goodness of this country than does the president of this country, the president of this country has to go!"
On Tuesday afternoon, Donald Trump spoke for the third time about the violent rally, this time blaming "both sides" for what happened over the weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia.

View Story"I think there is blame on both sides," Trump charged at reporters during a news conference Tuesday afternoon in the lobby of Trump Tower. "What about the alt-left that came charging at, as you say, the alt-right? Do they have any semblance of guilt? What about the fact they came charging with clubs in hands, swinging clubs? Do they have any problem? I think they do."
"You had a group on one side that was bad, and you had a group on the other side that was also very violent," he continued. "Nobody wants to say it, but I will say it right now."
