"I believe I was the first broadcaster to put Kyrsten Sinema on national television when she was in local politics in Arizona and from there grew a friendship that lasted nearly eight years. We even dated briefly, not while she was a guest on my shows, but long enough that twice I took her to the Broadway show ‘The Book of Mormon’ and as a real-life ex-Mormon, she was delighted to go backstage and meet the cast and compliment one of the producers on the exact tune of the recreation of Mormon Sunday school stories," Olbermann said.
He added, "I am going to say something now and I do not expect it will be widely believed. There is no personal animus here. She and I did not stop dating because of some discord. We continued to go to events together as late as a year after the last date. Kyrsten Sinema and I texted for six years after our last date. Half of the texts were about politics, about who was going to stop Trump, half were her trying to set me up with women she dated or her asking if my latest girlfriend was hot."
