(PM.) One member of her production staff, all of whom remain employed, said that executives had previously raised concerns over some of Cross’ commentary, suggesting it “did not meet the standards of MSNBC or NBC News.”
On Friday, MSNBC fired Tiffany Cross, host of the weekend program “Cross Connection.”
According to Variety, Cross found out Friday morning that her time at MSNBC had come to an end, with the network opting not to renew her contract.
One member of her production staff, all of whom remain employed, said that executives had previously raised concerns over some of Cross’ commentary, suggesting it “did not meet the standards of MSNBC or NBC News.”
Cross has repeatedly targeted conservatives and referred to numerous Republicans as “white supremacists.” She often said false statements, including at one point accusinga “white” NFL coach, who was actually biracial, of not caring about one of his “black” players; he turned out to be Samoan.
Her rhetoric earned her the title of “most racist person on television” from Megyn Kelly, and she eventually caught the attention of Tucker Carlson.
In a recent segment, he showcased a deluge of clips in which Cross and her guests make blanket statements about white people. He slammed MSNBC’s parent company, Comcast, for allowing her to go on seemingly unchecked.
