An MSNBC commentator sparked outrage Wednesday by suggesting that the gunman who fatally shot Charlie Kirk in the neck might have been one of Kirk’s own backers firing recklessly “in celebration.”
“We don’t know if this was a supporter shooting their gun off in celebration,” the guest remarked during a live segment with anchor Katy Tur shortly after the shooting at a Utah university.
“We have no idea,” the guest — identified by the Washington Examiner as MSNBC contributor Matthew Dowd — said on the program. “We don’t know any of the full details of this.”
Law enforcement believes the assassin targeted Kirk from a rooftop roughly 200 yards away, according to a Fox News report.
President Trump later confirmed Kirk’s passing in a personal message on TruthSocial.
He wrote, “The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead.”
“No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us,” Trump added in his tribute.
“Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!” he concluded.

Why is MSNBC still on the air. Isn’t there some legal way to officially shut them down?
Technically he’s right. Everyone keeps finding half quotes and assumes the outcome for their political posturing. That’s sick to use Kirk’s death to advance your own political propaganda.
In what way is he technically right?
While the Left are celebrating or accusing him, the right are accusing Israel and the Mossad.
Who were the hand and cap signals for that the guy in the white gave right before the shooting?
