Keith Olbermann: 'We Were Invaded' By Russia During The Election
Keith Olbermann likened Russian efforts to meddle in the 2016 presidential election to help Donald Trump gain power to an actual invasion.

The fact that “there was not blood on the streets” didn’t alter that conclusion, the former MSNBC and ESPN journalist added.
