who was fired from msnbc today

Matthew Dowd, a political analyst, was fired from MSNBC today. He was let go following on-air comments he made in the immediate aftermath of the shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Dowd suggested that Kirk's "hateful words" might have contributed to "hateful actions," comments that sparked significant backlash. MSNBC President Rebecca Kutler condemned his remarks as "inappropriate, insensitive, and unacceptable" and issued an apology before terminating his contract. Dowd later apologized, stating he did not intend to blame Kirk for the attack and expressed regret for his tone and words.
