Olbermann pointed to one part of Steele’s interview with Fox News Digital in which she said "every single question was scripted, gone over dozens of times by many editors and executives."

"I mean Jesus, if this happened to you, you'd just assume it WASN'T being done to protect the network from you humiliating it – and yourself?" Olbermann wrote.

Riley Gaines, who had been the target of Olbermann’s ire in the past, defended Steele.

"Sage has the balls that @KeithOlbermann lacks. This picture will be the bane of his existence," Gaines wrote on X.
