'I unreservedly apologize,' ESPN's Keith Olbermann tweets to turkey hunter

Just before 7 p.m. Wednesday, ESPN broadcaster Keith Olbermann, who started a social media firestorm Tuesday when he attacked a Mississippi turkey hunter for killing a rare white gobbler, tweeted an apology to the young man.

"I am an opponent of trophy hunting and remain so, but nobody should feel threatened. This was anything but my intent, so I unreservedly apologize to Mr. Waltman for this tweet," Olbermann wrote.

However, the KO Group on DU didn't have any new threads in 2018 until tonight. In comparison, the Lincoln Chafee Group is more active.
