Political analyst Matthew Dowd has been fired from MSNBC after appearing to blame conservative activist Charlie Kirk for his own death, a source at the network has told The Independent.
Calls were made for Dowd to be sacked after he implied that Kirk’s “hateful thoughts” and “awful words” led someone to shoot him during an event at a college in Utah on Wednesday. The high-profile Donald Trump supporter, aged 31, died shortly afterwards.
