"My thoughts & prayers are w/ the family and friends of Charlie Kirk. On an earlier appearance on MSNBC I was asked a question on the environment we are in. I apologize for my tone and words. Let me be clear, I in no way intended for my comments to blame Kirk for this horrendous attack. Let us..."
"...all come together and condemn violence of any kind."
"who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech aimed at certain groups. And I always go back to, hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions. And I think that's the environment we're in."
"There is no place for violence in America, political or otherwise."
MSNBC said Matthew Dowd, a paid political analyst, is no longer with the network. Dowd made an on-air comment after Charlie Kirk's killing suggesting Kirk was a divisive figure "who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech aimed at certain groups," and that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions." The commentary drew a heated online reaction. MSNBC President Rebecca Kutler called the remarks "inappropriate, insensitive and unacceptable" and said there is no place for violence. Dowd apologized on Bluesky, said he did not intend to blame Kirk, and expressed condolences to Kirk's family and friends.
