MSNBC host Joe Scarborough applauded the network’s president Thursday morning for denouncing Matthew Dowd for his “obviously wrong and extraordinarily hurtful” remarks about the shooting of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.
Hours after Dowd described Kirk – the founder of MAGA youth organization Turning Point USA – as a “divisive” figure who pushed “hate speech” in the wake of Kirk’s assassination, MSNBC fired him as a political analyst.
