Rekindling a feud saw Keith Olbermann on the wrong side of a ratio after Riley Gaines invoked Lia Thomas to put him in his place.

Sparing a rant, for now, the former MSNBC commentator managed to wrangle over 2 million views by simultaneously expressing concern about monkeypox and taking a swipe at the champion athlete turned defender of women’s rights.

The former NCAA swimmer had reacted to the timing of a report about the World Health Organization’s declaration deeming the virus a public health emergency when she said, “In other words, there’s an election coming up.”

Unbidden, Olbermann replied to Gaines’ post, “Oh hush, third rate athlete. The adults are dealing with an actual problem, not your paranoia.”

It was then that the Outkick host garnered tenfold support to the oft-raging commentator as she harkened back to the beginning of his gripe with her and asserted, “Keith, Lia Thomas isn’t going to date you dude.”
