LEBANON, Tenn. (WSMV) - Former analyst and contributor for MSNBC, Matthew Dowd, will no longer be speaking at a Tennessee university next month.

Cumberland University released a statement regarding its upcoming Heifner-Martin Endowed Lecture Series, where Dowd was scheduled to be the guest speaker.

“As many have heard, former MSNBC Political contributor Matthew Dowd was scheduled to be this year’s speaker at the Heifner-Martin Endowed Lecture Series,” President Dr. Paul C. Stumb wrote. “This Lecture Series was created to foster civil discourse and engagement, and in the aftermath of Mr. Dowd’s recent comments, we have decided to cancel the lecture scheduled in October. We remain grateful to the families that support this endowed lecture series, and we plan to reschedule in the Spring 2026 semester with a new featured speaker.”

Why do they invite the asshole on the first place? They are obviously in his camp. They just don’t wanna look bad now that he’s been fired.

Pee Wee Herman is gone.

Maybe Kamala can fit the appearance into her comedy club tour. “Philosophical Musings of My Philosophy of Philosophy”

The only thing I know about Cumberland is they lost to Georgia Tech 222-0 in 1916.

The irony of his not appearing is that his hemorrhoid salve advertising contract has also been canceled. 😓🚽🧻

This isn’t cancel culture.

It’s accountability culture.

How much money was Cumberland going to funnel to this leftist clown to rant for an hour or so?

He’ll be kryptonite, no media outlet will hire him. And no one will listen to his eventual podcast either.
