A shocking moment on MSNBC is fueling widespread outrage after one of the network’s commentators openly speculated that the shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk might have been caused by one of his own supporters firing a gun “in celebration.”

The remark came as Americans continue to process the attempted assassination that left Kirk fighting for his life in a Utah hospital. The comment, delivered during a live segment just hours after the attack, left viewers stunned.

“We don’t know any full details of this… that we don’t know if this was a supporter shooting their gun off in celebration or… so we have no idea,” the MSNBC voice said. Critics blasted the speculation as reckless, offensive, and emblematic of the media’s double standard.

According to the Associated Press, law enforcement officials say that Kirk remains in critical condition. The 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder was shot in the neck on Wednesday while addressing students at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, as part of his “American Comeback Tour.” Witnesses described sheer panic as the single gunshot rang out under a campus tent, sending hundreds scrambling for safety.

Bystander videos captured the terrifying scene: Kirk collapsing and students screaming in disbelief. Within minutes, the university went into lockdown, classes were canceled, and security sealed off access points. Federal agencies, including the FBI and ATF, are assisting in the investigation, though the motive remains unknown.

The MSNBC speculation poured fuel on an already raw and emotional moment. Social media lit up with fury. Commentators noted that if the victim had been a progressive activist, no network would dare float the idea of a “supporter firing off in celebration.”

The backlash is now fueling calls for accountability. Media watchdog groups are demanding MSNBC issue an apology and clarify its position. Meanwhile, the nation waits for updates on Kirk’s condition. Doctors have not disclosed details beyond confirming that he remains in critical care.
