Political commentator Matthew Dowd is melting down online. Who? Exactly. That’s why Dowd is angry. He got fired by MSNBC for saying Charlie Kirk was possibly shot by a celebrating fan. His insensitive stupidity got overshadowed by better-known Jimmy Kimmel calling Kirk’s assassin a member of MAGA. Dowd’s firing was forgotten. All the attention Kimmel’s been getting has Dowd pouting and saying, ‘What about meeeeeeee?’
Here he is griping about his irrelevancy to a disinterested and disintegrating Katie Couric. (WATCH)

“They say the public will always demand that popular personalities get put back on the air, but nobody is talking about me!”

News flash! You’re not popular, Matt.
Commenters are appalled at how ‘journalists’ and their fellow Democrats have elevated Kimmel and his suspension over Kirk and his assassination. Matt's mad he got lost in the legacy media's rush to diminish Kirk.
Unbelievable. A man is brutally murdered for his speech. And these people think they're the victims in all of it.

“We don’t know yet, it might’ve been one of Charlie’s supporters firing a gun in celebration” that’s all that needs to be said about him

These tears are salty and tasty. Keep 'em coming, Matt.

Poor Matt is butt hurt that nobody cares about him.

I wonder if it's because of how detestable he is
— Chris Nodimas🍄 (@CholeraFan) September 19, 2025
this is so undignified. Did he really not know he was less famous than Jimmy Kimmel?

Dowd is out here acting like he’s a victim because his callous remarks about Kirk’s assassination have not garnered him popularity and constant attention. How sick is that?
Going on Katie Couric’s podcast is a huge hint that you’ve not only fallen out of the news cycle but public memory as well. Also, what’s up with Couric?
A has-been and a never-was have thoughts.

Doesn't Katie Couric have anything better to do? She looks depressed that this is where she is in life.

Katie Couric plastic surgery gone wrong?

Katie sure hasn't aged well.

Katie seems to be struggling to keep a straight face.

Wife: Honey, we have to leave for my moms. Can you grab a onesie for the baby?

Husband: do you want ‘snuggle monster’ or ‘mamas boy’
Wife: Hmm. The Matthew Dowd one pic.twitter.com/jxK5QOHFLg
That’s so weird

One minute you're being an insensitive jerk on MSNBC, and the next you're selling onesies online. It's a mystery why Dowd’s phone isn't blowing up for interview requests.
