MSNBC:s politiske analytiker Matthew Dowd har blivit avskedad för sitt uttalande om Charlie Kirks död.
"After Kirk was shot Wednesday afternoon, Dowd suggested it was caused by a chain reaction from his "hateful words" against various groups. Kirk, a leading conservative activist and top ally of President Donald Trump, later died at the age of 31."
"Before the news that Kirk had died, Dowd told MSNBC host Katy Tur, "We don’t know any of the full details of this yet.
We don’t know if this was a supporter shooting their gun off in celebration."
Vidare försökte han antyda att det inte var ett politiskt attentat utan en MAGA-supporter som skjuter vilt i ett firande.
"MSNBC has fired political analyst Matthew Dowd for suggesting "hateful" rhetoric from TPUSA co-founder Charlie Kirk led to his own assassination, two sources familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital. "
""During our breaking news coverage of the shooting of Charlie Kirk, Matthew Dowd made comments that were inappropriate, insensitive and unacceptable," MSNBC president Rebecca Kutler said in a statement. "We apologize for his statements, as has he. There is no place for violence in America, political or otherwise."
När Dowd verkade begripa vad som höll på att hända med hans sociala tillvaro och arbete försökte han backa:
""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," Dowd wrote."
