Tiffany Cross, a former MSNBC host now appearing as a guest on CNN, recently made headlines with her controversial remarks about Stephen Miller, a senior adviser at the White House.
Cross asserted that it is an "actual fact" that Miller is a "white supremacist," and she argued that "journalistic integrity" demands such a label be applied to him. "Any time that we play something from Stephen Miller, it would be journalistic integrity to point out that he is a white supremacist,"
Cross stated during a panel discussion. "That's not my opinion. That's actual fact."
As reported by The Washington Free Beacon, Cross's comments emerged during a debate on whether President Donald Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard had effectively reduced crime in Washington, D.C. The discussion was sparked by a clip of Miller, who serves as a White House deputy chief of staff, claiming that residents of the capital city were experiencing a newfound sense of safety.
"For the first time in their lives, they can use the parks, they can walk on the streets. You have people who can walk freely at night without having to worry about being robbed or mugged. They're wearing their watches again. They're wearing jewelry again. They're wearing purses again," Miller remarked.
The panel discussion quickly descended into a cacophony of voices, but Cross managed to regain the floor, emphasizing her view of Miller as the "brainchild" behind the National Guard's deployment. She reiterated her stance, stating, "For him to purport lies from the Oval Office as a white supremacist, it should be pointed out."
Cross's tenure at MSNBC was marked by her frequent criticism of Republicans, a stance that ultimately led to the cancellation of her show in 2022. In one of her final appearances before her departure, she made inflammatory comments about Florida and the GOP on Comedy Central.
"Florida literally looks like the dick of the country, so let's get rid of Florida," she quipped, further asserting that the Republican Party and "right-wing extremists" had become indistinguishable, claiming they had "merged right now."
The discourse surrounding Cross's statements highlights the ongoing tensions in political media, where accusations and rhetoric often overshadow substantive policy discussions. As the nation grapples with issues of safety and governance, the role of media figures in shaping public perception remains a contentious topic.
