The Resistance with Keith Olbermann is a daily political web series hosted by Keith Olbermann for GQ. It premiered on September 13, 2016, originally as The Closer with Keith Olbermann, and ended after the 2016 U.S. presidential election on November 8, when it was retitled as The Resistance in the wake of Donald Trump winning the 2016 presidential campaign. Among the series' segments is one in which he criticized Rudy Giuliani for questioning Hillary Clinton's health, noting that Clinton did not question Giuliani's health when she was running for the Senate from New York, even though he had previously had prostate cancer.
Reception and impact
Slate magazine's Sam Kriss described the series as "the most embarrassing thing humanity has ever produced," adding that he considered each episode to be "a context-less, free-floating slice of sound and anguish."
As of October 23, 2016, the first episode of the series had been viewed more than 800,000 times on YouTube.
