As we’ve reported, the ghouls at MSNBC didn’t even wait for the smoke to clear after Charlie Kirk’s tragic assassination on Wednesday before they started blasting Kirk and basically implying that he had it coming.

Pundit Matthew Dowd found out the hard way that there’s a line of decency—even at the far-left DNC propaganda outlet—that should not be crossed. Although he says he did not yet know that Charlie Kirk had been slain, he did know that shots had been fired. That’s not the time to be throwing out demented takes, essentially arguing that whatever violence had occurred might be justified. He also ludicrously said one of Kirk’s supporters may have fired a gun to “celebrate.”

C’mon, man:

While reporting on the shooting that killed Kirk on a college campus in Utah Wednesday, Dowd called Kirk 'divisive' and accused him of peddling 'hate speech' before suggesting that the right-wing activist brought the shooting on himself.

'And I always go back to, hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions,' he said.

He was soon fired following the intense backlash.

He insists he didn’t know that Kirk had been shot when he was speaking, but note the chyrons on the screen:

The despicable ghouls at MSNBC immediately attack Charlie Kirk in wake of shooting — Matthew Dowd blames Kirk's pushing “hate speech” as reason he was shot:

"I always go back to hateful thoughts, lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions."

“You can't stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have and then saying these awful words and not expect awful actions to take place." 

Un freaking real.

Matthew Dowd Has Been Fired by MSNBC After Grotesque Comments on Charlie Kirk

Now he’s whining on the internet in a Substack post where he blames the “right-wing mob” for his termination. The man is in desperate need of a mirror.

Naturally, he started his sob story by banging on Trump for no apparent reason:

Years ago when I was at ABC News as Chief Political Analyst I was very critical of Donald Trump and the Republican Party as I saw our constitutional democracy threatened. A number of times then President Trump and White House staff called up the head of ABC News and tried to get me to back off and have me fired. ABC News folks came to me a number of times after that and tried to get me to not be so critical. I ultimately left ABC News and ended up as senior political analyst at MSNBC.

What does this have to do with Charlie Kirk or your noxious comments as he lay dying?

He then prattles on about his own virtue before he gets to the point: why did he say what he did, and why was it OK?

Keep in mind when the anchor came to me to comment on the “national environment” the only thing known at the time was shots were fired and there was no reporting yet that Kirk was the target or had been shot at. I said in the moment that we needed to get the facts because we have no idea what this could be and that it could easily be someone firing a gun in the air to celebrate the event. Remember Kirk is a diehard advocate of the 2nd amendment.

I said that Kirk has been a very divisive and polarizing figure. I then added that we are in a toxic time in America, unlike every other democracy in the world, where we have a combination of divisiveness and near unlimited access to guns.

And he wouldn‘t be a good leftist if he didn’t bring Nazi Germany into the equation:

The effort by Holocaust survivors to remind folks of Germany in the 1930s #ItStartedWithWords came to my mind and I said my now legendary line “hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which ultimately lead to hateful actions”. I thought to myself how could anyone disagree with this. I guess I was naive.

Naïve, and spiteful, and woefully out of touch. Today, Charlie’s wife and two sons mourn their loss, while folks like Dowd obsess over "right-wing mobs." It wasn't those mobs who got you fired, Matthew; it was your lack of human decency.

Whoever Thought Anything Would Be Too Toxic for MSNBC?

My only question: why does the despicable Katy Tur still have a job at the inflammatory network?
