One of the most discussed cases is that of political analyst Matthew Dowd.

MSNBC decided to part ways with him after he suggested that Kirk’s assassination was linked to his polarizing style of discourse.

“Thoughts of hate lead to words of hate, which in turn lead to acts of hate,” Dowd said on air.

His words sparked backlash and prompted the network to terminate his contract.

The uproar also spread to the cultural sphere.

DC Comics canceled its newly launched Red Hood series after its author, Gretchen Felker-Martin, wrote on social media: “I hope the bullet is okay.”

The publisher ruled that her words were incompatible with the company’s image.

The case highlighted how online expressions can have immediate professional consequences.

The State Department also announced measures in response to comments from foreign nationals.

Deputy Secretary Christopher Landau said visas could be revoked for those who glorify or mock the assassination online.

He urged his followers on X to report such posts to begin review proceedings.

The warning underscores the international scope of the case and its diplomatic implications.
