Maybe his timing was insensitive, but he spoke the truth. Kirk was a hateful Nazi. His rhetoric is inherently violent. Assassination is not the answer, but now that he’s dead we know the right will turn him into an innocent martyr. The left should not be intimidated. Shame on MSNBC.
Isn’t it MS Now?

I am a big fan of MSNBC, but the network is WRONG.
Matthew Dowd was right. Hire him back!
Charlie Kirk was evil, vile scum wrapped in hateful, extreme right-wing ideology and religious bigotry. Kirk's speech and actions contributed to his death. No one had the right to kill him, but he instigated and perpetuated the hate we see in political life today. Kirk's support of the criminal in the White House and his lack of sympathy toward classrooms full of kids blown away due to gun violence has deemed Kirk unworthy of the excessive coverage and praise he is receiving after his death. And Kirk certainly does not deserve the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

What he said was ignorant and they were looking for the left to say the wrong thing.
I don’t really think he thought someone shot a gun off in celebration and it accidentally killed Kirk. Come on.

Whatever happened to temporarily suspending the person? MSNBC went from zero to 80 on this one; they overreacted on bent knees.
Matthew Dowd spoke the truth, exhibiting more journalistic integrity than the entire MSNBC executives and staff.

Since 2011, Matthew Dowd's partner in life has been Maria Shriver.

There’s a lot of blowback right now online of people, including people on the left, feeling revulsion from all the comments celebrating the murder and people wishing they could have been the one to do the killing. It’s a big deal.

It’s hard to know what people of his ilk actually think. He’s a person who is paid to make comments that toe a certain line. Because people like that are just saying what they think people are paying to hear, they sometimes go over the top in trying to stand out and get positive review.

Trump blames me:
[ quote] Trump claimed that “radical left” rhetoric of comparing “wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world’s worst mass murderers and criminals” is “directly responsible for the terrorism that we’re seeing in our country today.”
It’s his ideas and his words that make “Nazi” apt. His words are the words of a mass murderer who is restraining himself to sound like something more palatable before he has the power he seeks. Hitler didn’t speak about extermination camps when he was running for office, but genocide is the only logical outcome of his ideas. You don’t have to speak German and dress in Hugo Boss to be a fascist.

Rightwingers spend all day calling anybody who didn’t vote for Trump communists and scum and un-American and criminal and enemies of the state. Trump literally called for war against the city of Chicago. He has marauding bands of armed, masked incels snatching people off the streets and renditioning them to Africa without a lick of due process. And worthless shits like Kirk are crowing constantly from the rafters about how marvelous all of it is.
But yes, let’s hear more about dangerous rhetoric from the left.

Yes. It’s total hypocrisy to blame the left for excessive rhetoric.
My sense is a lot of the right actually wants civil war and violence and they are using this assassination to promote violence. Not many of the left think that way.

Someone needs to ask donald and maybelline, point blank, whether they serve, honor and represent the entire United States populace or if their allegiance is only to the MAGA republicans.

Trump in particular uses any hint of violence against the right to engage in violent rhetoric against the left. The guy who shot him was a Republican and likely a MAGA, but Trump blamed Democrats.
Yesterday he blamed liberals and Democrats—who he called “terrorists”—and talked about “eradicating” them.
The rhetoric on the right is widely violent:

Hate this performative fuckery. Of course he's right and of course MSNBC knows he was right, but of course everyone has to go through the bullshit nonsense cause of the ever delicate fee fees of the useless, and yes ridiculously violent and hatefilled, Trump Cult.

It is well beyond hypocrisy. It is utter nonsense. Dump sent his MAGA hordes to the Capitol to KILL Nancy Pelosi and Mike Pence in what he later said was a day of "love." Capitol police officers were killed and he pardoned everyone involved.
No one enjoys being gaslit. There will be more violence against the Right. You can't eliminate jobs, medicaid, Medicare and federal assistance programs, rip families apart, cry when a neo-Nazi scourge -- who was also a multimillionaire -- is killed by one of your own, and blame it all on Joe Biden or Obama.

[quote] They may not want to hear it, and it may incense them, but the parallels between what the Nazis did then, and what Trump and MAGA are doing today, are striking, chilling—and as any expert on authoritarianism will tell you, straight out of the same toxic, but dog-eared, playbook.
