Olbermann decided to drop multiple f-bombs on Twitter in response to Kurtz, also calling him a “Fox whore.”

“How about a day without a FING GUN MASSACRE, you fing Fox whore?” Olbermann tweeted, partially in all caps.
Olbermann also criticized President Donald Trump’s response to Las Vegas and said “2nd Amendment Bulls**t threatens each of us.”

Kurtz followed up on the “strong pushback” on Twitter.

Gun debate is important, but it's also clear a GOP Congress isn't going to pass anything. Obama couldn't get a bill after Sandy Hook tragedy

He also addressed it on TV later in the day and said “Let’s wait a few hours, a day for the country to mourn, to grieve, to know the story of what happened before we start getting into the partisan politics.” Kurtz also said this is a position he’s consistently taken over the years.
