Political analyst Matthew Dowd has been fired from MSNBC for his suggestion that Charlie Kirk’s own “hateful thoughts” and “awful words” contributed to his shooting.
MSNBC President Rebecca Kutler criticized Dowd’s remarks, emphasizing the network’s disapproval. Both Dowd and MSNBC have issued apologies, acknowledging the seriousness of the situation.
Kutler stated, “Dowd’s comments as inappropriate, insensitive and unacceptable.” She added, “We apologize for his statements, as has he. There is no place for violence in America, political or otherwise.”
Following Kirk’s death, conservative activists have sought to identify those making offensive comments, leading to one University of Mississippi staffer being fired for insensitive online remarks. Just a thought.
