MSNBC Guest Says Charlie Kirk Could Have Been Shot by ‘Supporter,’ Who Was Celebrating

Conservative radio host Charlie Kirk has been shot according to Utah Valley University Police Department. As of this article’s publication, the Associated Press reports the Turning Point USA co-founder is in critical condition. MSNBC has covered the incident in the most disgraceful way possible. Host Katy Tur said on her show while breaking the news that Kirk had been shot, that the conservative commentator is “divisive” and “polarizing.” ? BREAKING: MSNBC anchor calls Charlie Kirk "divisive" and "polarizing" after he was shot.This is perhaps the most disgusting response to a political act of violence I've seen on cable TV, ever.pic.twitter.com/ODnKKduvFT— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) September 10, 2025 Somehow it got much worse from there. One of Tur’s show guests, Matthew Dowd, said that the details of the case weren’t known. But this comment certainly didn’t seem like a cautious avoidance of speculation on his part. He continued, “We don’t any of the details of this yet, we don’t know if this was a supporter shooting their guns off in celebration.” Dowd then said that Kirk is constantly pushing “hate speech, sort of aimed at certain groups.” It just kept getting worse. “You can’t stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have, and then saying these awful words, and then not expect awful actions to take place,” Dowd said. Watch here if you can stomach it. Here's the longer clip of Matthew Dowd on MSNBC condemning Charlie Kirk as he fights for his life, and suggesting the shooter may have fired "in celebration.""He’s been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures in this who has constantly sort of pushing this… pic.twitter.com/fMarB8PONd— Tyler O'Neil (@Tyler2ONeil) September 10, 2025 It’s obvious that Dowd used this moment to take a cheap shot at conservatives, then insinuated that somehow it was Kirk’s fault that someone shot him. There was a deluge of righteous anger directed toward MSNBC following this commentary. Podcast host Ben Ferguson said of Dowd, “You are a SICK AND EVIL MAN! Matthew Dowd just basically said that Charlie Kirk deserved to be shot! You are a SICK AND EVIL MAN! “You can’t stop with these awful thoughts you have, and these awful words, and then not expect awful actions to take place.” pic.twitter.com/ENb6ukhyQ5— Ben Ferguson (@benfergusonshow) September 10, 2025 Federalist editor Sean Davis said, “MSNBC contributor Matthew Dowd says Charlie Kirk deserved to be shot.” Former ABC political director and MSNBC contributor Matthew Dowd says Charlie Kirk deserved to be shot. https://t.co/eBNhy70rKg— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) September 10, 2025 Radio host Clay Travis called the comments “utterly despicable.” This is utterly despicable.
