This week’s Liberal Media Scream features the latest MSNBC host crossing the line so far to raise ratings that all you can do is laugh.
Imagine somebody calling Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema a white supremacist. Crazy, right?
Not at MSNBC. That’s exactly what host Tiffany Cross said on Saturday because the first-term senator decided to join fellow Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin in choosing to stand behind the filibuster, thus spoiling President Joe Biden’s chances for nationalizing elections with rules that even his own home state of Delaware doesn’t follow.
“Sinema is a Democrat. But she is in many ways upholding white supremacy,” said Cross, who has even attacked black politicians, notably Republican Sen. Tim Scott.
In a way, of course, she was echoing Biden’s speech in Atlanta suggesting that those blocking “voting reform” were racists and confederates. That speech had some Senate Democrats rolling their eyes.
From the Jan. 15 The Cross Connection on MSNBC:
TIFFANY CROSS: This is an interesting challenge, Angela [Rye], because, look, Sinema is a Democrat. But she is in many ways upholding white supremacy. You and I both know what the filibuster was originally used for. Take a listen to some remarks she made this week, and then we’ll talk about it.
SEN. KYRSTEN SINEMA, ON THE SENATE FLOOR: When one party need to only negotiate with itself, policy will inextricably be pushed from the middle towards the extremes. And I understand. There is some on both side of the aisle that prefer the outcome. But I do not.
CROSS: I don’t think I can roll my eyes hard enough, and you kind of just want to say, ‘Girl, bye.’”
Brent Baker, vice president of research and publications for the Media Research Center, explains our weekly pick: “Dare to not follow the liberal agenda, and this MSNBC host will smear you as a white supremacist based on disagreement over the ‘rules’ of Senate procedures. No room for subtlety at MSNBC. If you cross Tiffany Cross, you must be silenced, as she acts as the enforcer of what views senators are allowed to hold.”
Rating: FIVE out of FIVE SCREAMS.
