Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah blamed racism for MSNBC’s abrupt firing of Black weekend anchor Tiffany Cross earlier last month.

In a Friday column, Attiah argued that Cross’s ouster was a "a reminder that the rug could be pulled out from under [Black journalists] at any time."

She added that it was a "bad look" in a time when "attacks against Black educators, authors and journalists are increasing across the country."

The New York Post reported in early November that Cross was let go from her show, "The Cross Connection with Tiffany Cross," following "multiple incidents in which she repeatedly dropped inflammatory comments on the air — despite multiple warnings from execs at the network, according to a source close to the network."

The report speculated that Cross’ comments during a Comedy Central panel may have been the "final straw." During the discussion, Cross stated, "Florida literally looks like the d--- of the country, so let’s get rid of Florida."

On her Saturday morning show, Cross routinely made inflammatory comments. She insisted that Trump supporters have started the second American "civil war." The host called Kyle Rittenhouse, who was acquitted in the shooting deaths of Kenosha, Wisconsin, rioters, a "little murderous White supremacist," and claimed that Black Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., is "thirsty for White approval" because he’s a Republican.
