MSNBC has announced the firing of political analyst Matthew Dowd for these comments referring to Charlie Kirk as a “divisive figure” pushing “hate speech” during the network’s coverage of his killing.

I’m sure that will solve the gun problem in this country.

Uh. Fired for stating facts? Like the news is supposed to????

So now we have to pretend he wasn’t a piece of shit who would have been happy if what happened to him had happened to a queer person or a woman or a POC or an immigrant or…

damn fired for accurately reporting who charlie kirk was and what he stood for? absolute bullshit from the network

So MSNBC works for Trump too huh? Disgusting. 

That’s literally a more factually accurate description of the deceased than 98% of other media have portrayed. What an Upsidedownland ass outcome that the truth is the one thing they despise. It would be funny if it wasn’t so repugnant.

What the actual fuck is happening

Get a fucking backbone for gods sake. The left is doomed.

“Liberal” media is so disgusting. Fox News is talking about pogroms and you fire a dude for the most anodyne statement of all time.

That’s what he was…

So are we supposed to develop amnesia all of a sudden and pretend Kirk was some kind of Mother Theresa figure? All the man did was sow division and spew vitriol.

Very concerning that an analyst would get fired for telling the truth on air…one of many steps in dismantling the media under a fascist regime.

This is outrageous, I won’t watch that channel anymore. What did he say that was wrong?

The sane-washing on this person is mind-boggling

Do they really think this way they’ll win over the right-wing crowd that already hates them? Naïve. Even if you fell to your knees and begged forgiveness because some guy shot that asshole, the right would just scream that you didn’t bow low enough—and that really, it’d be better to just start shooting leftists in the legs, just in case.

I mean he’s not wrong

Orem, UT – Utah Republicans passed House Bill 128 during the 2025 General Session, allowing individuals 18 and older with a concealed weapon permit (CWP) to openly carry firearms on college campuses, a law that took effect on May 7, and is now under intense scrutiny following the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University

Charlie Kirk’s TPUSA Teamed Up With a Registered Sex Offender

Amid scandal over Turning Point USA’s spending, Charlie Kirk is under fire from the right | Media Matters for America

ROLLING STONE: Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk is cheerleading the far-right boycott of Target over the retailer’s Pride collection — which included trans-friendly youth apparel and other LGBTQ-positive gear — for what Kirk decries as “their support for grooming kids.”
Kirk’s condemnation of the retailer coincided with TPUSA’s second-annual Pastors Summit in Nashville, Tennessee, this past week, where Kirk also denounced Target, telling a crowd of hundreds of religious leaders: “If you love God, you must hate evil.”
Yet in delivering these fevered messages about morality and child welfare, Kirk had an odd benefactor, a man whose criminal history opens up TPUSA to charges of hypocrisy.
Rolling Stone has learned that one of the TPUSA summit’s corporate sponsors is a Christian fashion company that is led by a registered sex offender, Shawn Bergstrand, who served time in federal prison for attempted “coercion and enticement” after trying to persuade “a minor female” to “engage in sexual activity

🗣️🗣️🗣️Restore the Federal Assault Weapons Ban, a provision of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, which expired in 2004. Though a renewal bill was introduced in 2003, it failed to pass before the ban’s automatic 10-year sunset provision took effect.
Here’s a breakdown of the federal assault weapons ban and its expiration:
* Passed in 1994: The ban was signed into law by President Bill Clinton in September 1994 as part of a larger crime bill.
* Included a “sunset” clause: To secure enough votes, a compromise was reached that included a 10-year expiration date for the ban. This meant the law would automatically expire unless Congress voted to renew it.
* Renewal attempt in 2003: Legislation was introduced in the 108th Congress, including the “Assault Weapons Ban and Law Enforcement Protection Act of 2003,” to renew and strengthen the law. However, Congress did not pass it.
* Expired in 2004: The ban expired on September 13, 2004, and was not renewed by Congress at that time.
Result of expiration: After the ban lapsed, it became legal again to manufacture and sell the types of weapons and large-capacity magazines (holding more than 10 rounds) that had been prohibited.
✍️📝Note: There have been multiple attempts to reinstate the ban since it expired, but none have succeeded at the federal level. Some states have since passed their own assault weapons ban. While the US had a federal assault weapons ban from 1994 to 2004, *the number of mass shootings has seen a significant increase since its expiration*. Analyses show that mass shootings and related fatalities were lower during the ban and increased sharply after it lapsed, especially in incidents involving assault weapons or high-capacity magazines.
Mass shootings during and after the federal ban-Data from studies comparing the decades before, during, and after the ban show the following trends:
Before the ban (1966–1994): 55 public mass shootings.
During the ban (1995–2004): 34 public mass shootings.
After the ban expired (2005–2022): 95 public mass shootings.
The rise in mass shooting fatalities
Following the ban’s expiration, the average yearly death toll from mass shootings rose dramatically:
During the ban: An average of 4.8 deaths per year.
*After the ban expired*: An average of 23.8 deaths PER YEAR between 2004 and 2017.
Increased lethality of mass shootings-The lethality of mass shootings, particularly those involving assault weapons, has also increased since the ban expired:
Assault weapons: Between 2015 and 2022, mass shootings with four or more fatalities that used an assault weapon resulted in twice as many people killed and six times as many people shot per incident.
Higher-capacity magazines: Incidents with high-capacity magazines result in 155% more people shot and 47% more people killed compared to incidents without them.

As of August 31, 2025, there have been *309 mass shootings in the United States, resulting in 302 deaths and 1,354 injuries.*

I feel bad for the people still watching MSNBC.

He said the truth and they fired him. Says a lot about the state of mainstream media I guess.
