Former MSNBC host Tiffany Cross spoke out about her ouster from the left-wing cable television network, claiming that her intelligence was questioned and suggesting that race played a part in her being canceled.
One of the most vitriolic of MSNBC’s deep bench of anti-white racists, Cross may have crossed the line one too many times with her hateful commentary and the network pulled the plug on “The Cross Connection” in November 2022, the month after she drew fire for insulting black conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as “Justice pubic hair on my Coke can.”
Now Cross has a new gig on the podcast that she shares with former CNN pundit Angela Rye and disgraced former Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum who nuked his own once-promising political career when he was caught having a drug-fueled sexual tryst with a homosexual escort in a Miami Beach hotel.
“I want you all to know, every single week from the start of my show to the very last show I did, it was a battle,” she told listeners on the latest edition of “Native Land Pod,” claiming that she was forced to focus on trashing former President Donald J. Trump. And while she was “obviously showing up for black folks,” she wanted to appeal to a wider audience as well.
“It was a battle to cover things that I wanted to talk about. The network’s philosophy was Trump, Trump, Trump. They wanted me to be part of the echo chamber,” Cross said in the episode titled “America, America IS a Racist Country” that was released on Thursday.

“I wanted to cover things like inhumane treatment in prisons, that’s something that disproportionately impacts my community,” Cross stated. “Mental health among Black men, the erasure of Afro-Latinos in the Latino community, land battles of the indigenous, Native Americans trying to get their family artifacts back from museums right here in America. Black farmers, reaching Latino voters, things like that.”
“When I would fight these battles, I know ya’ll know exactly what I mean, I was spoken to in the most condescending ways. I mean, anything from being told the definition of news… I would have somebody sit across from me and explain to me how news works,” she said. “I had my intelligence questioned.”
“They wanted me to use the same recycled faces you see all the time, so I really found the constant criticism debilitating at times, but mostly confusing,” she said, not naming the “same recycled faces” but racial fire-bomber Elie Mystal was regularly featured on her show.
“We were routinely the highest-rated show of the entire weekend,” she said. “So, I was scratching my head like ‘What ya’ll so mad about?’”
“There is a burden to speaking the truth. It comes with consequence and when you find yourself as the messenger, there is a power structure in place that is not welcoming to our voices,” the ex-MSNBC host said.
“I was prepared for these battles because I had been fighting them my entire career,” she added, suggesting that she was being treated unfairly because she’s black.
Last week it was Rye who detailed her troubles with her former employer which she suggested fired her after she complained over being insulted as “Tinsel Crotch” by then-colleague Chris Cuomo and Gillum could be up next to put his spin on the adulterous gay sex romp that ended his career.
Judging from the first two episodes of “Native Pod Land,” it’s uncertain as to whether it will have staying power in a market that has been completely over-saturated with whining about racism.
