On Friday, Tiffany Cross and MSNBC parted ways as the cable news network decided not to renew the host’s contract.
While some questioned MSNBC’s decision to part ways with Cross, others were also applauding the decision, one of them being SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly.
Kelly celebrated Cross’ termination, calling her “the most racist person in all of television” on Friday’s episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show.”
“Tiffany Cross, the most racist person in all of television — and in particular on MSNBC — just got fired,” Kelly said. “Poor Tiffany.”
Kelly continued by mentioning what she called Cross’ “greatest hits” at MSNBC.
One of them was last month when she argued that inherent racism among the NFL’s “white owners” and “white coaches” resulted in Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffering a scary on-field head injury.
The SiriusXM host pointed out that Mike McDaniel, the Dolphins’ coach, identifies as biracial. At the time of Tagovailoa’s two head injuries, Kelly referred to Cross a “dumbass” for her reaction (h/t New York Post).
“I could give you 10 more that are way worse than any of these, that’s just what we pulled in a simple Google search. So joy, oh, joy, Tiffany Cross is gone,” Kelly said.
“I tip my hat to MSNBC and NBC for doing the right thing, because as I said, she was the most racist person on television.”
