Dowd, a long-standing political commentator, who served as the chief strategist for George W. Bush’s 2004 presidential campaign, was asked on-air to talk about “the environment in which a shooting like this happens.”
After emphasizing that there were no details of the shooting at that time, Dowd said of Kirk: “He’s been one of the most divisive, especially divisive, younger figures in this, who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech aimed at certain groups. And I always go back to, hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions.”
“And I think that’s the environment we’re in. 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 are in.”

I heard him say this live, and I wasn't fazed a bit because it is true. JFC.
MSM is showing its whole ass right now. They know Kirk wasn’t a good dude, yet they’re bending over backwards to sanitize him, leaving out his entire racist and white nationalist record.

Nancy fucking Mace baselessly blaming Democrats and leftists for the killing of Charlie Kirk mere hours after the event. Props to this reporter for challenging the nonsense.
