Political analyst Matthew Dowd was reportedly fired from MSNBC on Wednesday following his “unacceptable” comments about Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s assassination, according to Variety.
During coverage of the attack, Dowd suggested on MSNBC’s “Katy Tur Reports” that Kirk’s push of “hate speech” toward certain groups made him an inevitable target. A network source reportedly told Variety that Dowd was let go following the remarks.
Dowd’s removal came just hours after MSNBC President Rebecca Kutler released a statement through the network’s public relations X account.
