In between the finger-pointing, there was, uh, grieving on Friday the White House flew the flags at half-staff, which got some criticism, but on a human level, you can see how hard the president is taking this.

During the emotional segment, which aired Thursday at the beginning of the network's Marketplace show, Harmony called Kirk her first boss and mentor, recounting how he encouraged young staff to speak with passion, with conviction, stand up for your friends, stand up for your beliefs, and speak loudly, even if your voice shakes.

MSNBC President Rebecca Kutler issued an apology on Wednesday after MSNBC political analyst Matthew Dowd blamed Charlie Kirk for his own death shortly after the Turning Point USA founder was fatally shot at Utah Valley University.
