WATCH: MSNBC Analyst Fired For Kirk Comments Melts Down

An outpouring of liberal tears for Jimmy Kimmel is upsetting a disgruntled MSNBC contributor fired for a similar offense just one week earlier.

Very few are familiar with the plight of Matthew Dowd, the former George W. Bush advisor turned political analyst who was booted from his network gig last week after suggesting that Charlie Kirk’s conservative rhetoric led to his death. Dowd was let go by MSNBC less than a day after he reacted to news of Kirk’s death on Sept. 10.

“All the shows, they’re talking about like, how awful it is, how awful for America that Jimmy Kimmel was, you know, was indefinitely suspended, and it’s a chilling thing for the First Amendment, and — they’re saying that on every platform,” Dowd fumed.

“Not one person has said anything about me!” he pouts to Katie Couric. “Not one person on that network has said– they’ve all gone out of their way to say ‘isn’t this horrible what happened to Jimmy Kimmel’ — isn’t even including ‘Morning Joe’ and Mika [Brzezinski] who went after me after the show, basically saying how great it was that I was terminated.”

Dowd, 64, has followed the well-worn path from legacy Republican advisor to MSNBC commentator, joining the likes of Steve Schmidt, Stuart Stevens, and pre-Trump advisors who criticize the party that has left them behind. Now, Dowd may be finding out how expendable his brand of milquetoast Republicanism is for the ratings-challenged liberal network.

“Not an iota about what their employer just did to another employee!” he screeched.

A steady stream of firings has followed the death of Kirk, 31, at the hands of a far-left gunman who prosecutors say was inspired by his hatred for Kirk’s positions on transgenderism.

Hours after the shooting, but before it was known Kirk had died, Dowd said Kirk has been “one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures in this, who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech or sort of aimed at certain groups. And I always go back to, hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions.”

“I think that’s the environment we’re in, that the people just — you can’t stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have, and then saying these awful words, and not expect awful actions to take place. And that’s the unfortunate environment we’re in,” he added.

“During our breaking news coverage of the shooting of Charlie Kirk, Matthew Dowd made comments that were inappropriate, insensitive and unacceptable,” MSNBC President Rebecca Kutler said in a statement announcing his termination, Fox News reported. “We apologize for his statements, as has he. There is no place for violence in America, political or otherwise.”
