On the eve of Thanksgiving, MSNBC’s Joy Reid <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZH2_9F1NiuE&amp;t=72s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">went on a tirade</a> against the cherished holiday in which she called it a holiday that erases the “genocide” committed by white Americans.
The comments came in a segment of Reid’s show “The Reidout” that focused in on two recent mass shootings. One of the shootings involved a self-described “non-binary” individual who allegedly attacked a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/colorado-springs-suspect-identifies-nonbinary-uses-pronounces-defense-rcna58499" target="_blank" rel="noopener">leaving</a> five people dead. In the other, a black man allegedly <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/22/us/chesapeake-virginia-walmart-shooting/index.html">murdered</a> six co-workers, including a 16-year-old boy, at a Walmart in Chesapeake, Virginia.
“For millions of Americans it’s a cherished tradition. And as Americans we certainly value those traditions,” Reid said of Thanksgiving.
&#8220;But it’s also important to unpack the myth of Thanksgiving. It is a holiday riddled with inaccuracies, built on this myth that the indigenous welcomed their colonizers with open arms and ears of corn; a simplistic fairytale interpretation of a 1621 encounter between indigenous tribes and English settlers that erases the genocide that followed,&#8221; she added.
Reid then accused Republicans of conspiratorially erasing American violence.
“It&#8217;s the truth that Republicans want banned from our textbooks, because here’s the secret they want so desperately to keep: We are a country founded on violence,&#8221; she said.
The she claimed that “we are a country that still chooses violence.&#8221;
&#8220;Our birth was violent. In 1619, a ship with more than 20 enslaved Africans landed in Virginia ushering in two centuries of American slavery that left millions in chains or dead. And when those humans in bondage were finally free, a terrorist organization that was a card-carrying member of polite society — the Ku Klux Klan —picked up where the Civil War ended using violence to maintain white supremacy,&#8221; she claimed.
Conservatives took Reid to task:

Reid has long expressed her dislike for Republicans on her MSNBC show and on Twitter. In April 2022, she went on a Twitter tirade in which she again targeted Republicans, writing, “I genuinely fear that before long, America will look a lot more like Russia or Hungary or even Afghanistan than any one of y&#8217;all can imagine. Because Republicans are aggressive in their pursuit of social and political control, while just about everyone else is pretty disengaged.”

U.S.

Congressman <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/republican-rep-adam-kinzinger-backs-democrats-in-key-races/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adam Kinzinger</a> (R-IL) appeared to claim in a Wednesday interview that he had risked — and ultimately gave up — his political career because he stood up and fought against former President <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/been-there-don-that-ny-post-hides-trumps-big-announcement-on-page-26/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a>.
Kinzinger, who announced over the summer that he would not seek re-election in last Tuesday&#8217;s midterms, invoked his time in the military while discussing the issue with former Republican MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace — and argued that if he was going to cast votes that could send soldiers to die, he had to be willing to risk his own career.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Rep. Kinzinger: &quot;If I&#39;m going to ask people to be willing to die for this country&#8230;I have to be willing to give up my career for the same cause&#8230;My oath is not to my district, it&#39;s to the Constitution.&quot; <a href="https://t.co/gqL26mh530">https://t.co/gqL26mh530</a> <a href="https://t.co/tM6p3BVnYj">pic.twitter.com/tM6p3BVnYj</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Wallace, who worked in the White House under former President George W. Bush, noted that Trump had crossed her &#8220;red line&#8221; long before he became president in 2016 — and she asked Kinzinger why he believed so many Republicans were still saying he hadn&#8217;t yet crossed theirs.
&#8220;Tribalism,&#8221; Kinzinger said, was the simple answer. &#8220;You know, the second — if one of them says, &#8216;Look, I&#8217;ve had enough of Donald Trump,&#8217; you get kicked out of your tribe. And then I gotta tell you, the other tribe, to the extent it exists, the anti-Trumpers, the Democrats are not going to accept you because, ah, you&#8217;re coming on too late or maybe you still have this one issue I disagree with.&#8221;
Kinzinger went on to suggest that some simply supported Trump in order to get re-elected — or out of cowardice — after which he referenced his transition from the military to Congress. Noting that he returned from Iraq in 2009 and got elected in 2010, he said, &#8220;I remember thinking, if I&#8217;m going to ask people to be willing to die for this country — and obviously I&#8217;m going to have to take votes on that and I have — I have to be willing to give up my career for the same cause.&#8221;
&#8220;My oath is not to my district, it&#8217;s to the Constitution,&#8221; Kinzinger concluded.
But the Illinois congressman did not give up his career in order to defend the Constitution — he was effectively forced out of Congress when Illinois Democrats <a href="https://fivethirtyeight.com/videos/illinois-may-be-the-worst-democratic-gerrymander-in-the-country/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gerrymandered</a> his district out of existence. Illinois, a reliably blue state, skewed the map even further when they redrew the districts in such a way that Republicans — who held five of the state&#8217;s 17 seats — could only pull off wins in three in 2022.
&#8220;Illinois is the worst gerrymander in the country drawn by Democrats,&#8221; FiveThirtyEight senior elections analyst Nathaniel Rakich wrote.
<a href="https://www.courthousenews.com/house-republican-calls-it-quits-after-approval-of-new-illinois-districts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kinzinger</a> announced that he would not seek reelection just 12 hours after the new map was approved.

Democratic strategist Kurt Bardella suggested that Congresswoman <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/ripped-to-shreds-by-your-own-constituents-boebert-gets-into-it-with-aoc-after-democrats-rough-town-hall-event/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lauren Boebert</a> (R-CO) might stoop to doing amateur pornography if her re-election bid did not prove successful.
Bardella discussed the possible outcomes of <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/gop-rep-boebert-introduces-resolution-recognizing-emma-weyant-as-rightful-winner-of-ncaa-swim-final-over-biological-male/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boebert&#8217;s race</a> — which is still too close to call — with MSNBC host <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/greg-gutfeld-msnbc-is-terrified-that-if-they-fire-joy-reid-shell-call-them-racists/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joy Reid</a> during her Wednesday broadcast of &#8220;The Reidout,&#8221; and he said that if her seat turned out to be a loss for the Republican Party, it might yet be &#8220;a gain for OnlyFans.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Noting just how tight the race was between Boebert and her Democratic challenger, Adam Frisch, Reid wondered aloud what the future might hold for the Republican if she were to lose her seat.
&#8220;What&#8217;s the meaning if Lauren Boebert — the second most popular QAnon congressperson in MAGA — what if she goes, what if she loses?&#8221; Reid asked.
The MSNBC host went on to wave finger guns and mock Boebert, a vocal supporter of the 2nd Amendment, over the fact that her previous establishment — the open-carry friendly Shooters Grill had closed: &#8220;What job will she have, because I don&#8217;t think Shooters exists anymore? Bang, bang, I don&#8217;t think Shooters exists anymore.&#8221;
&#8220;I guess it might be a gain for OnlyFans,&#8221; Bardella said in response, referencing the internet content subscription service that often caters to sex workers and amateur pornographic content. Bardella got a loud laugh from Reid and a shocked expression from his fellow panelist — political analyst and former Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill (D).
&#8220;I don&#8217;t know what she would do in that scenario,&#8221; Bardella continued, adding, &#8220;But I think that for — symbolically, to take out one of the poster childs of the MAGA movement, someone who has been an absolute disgrace to the office that she holds, would be a great feather in the cap and would, I think, cement the fact that this has been an absolute unmitigated disaster for the MAGA wing of the Republican Party.&#8221;
Boebert offered her response to Bardella in a scathing tweet, saying, &#8220;Liberals even suck at feminism. Can y&#8217;all do anything right?&#8221;

He then qualified his apology by stating that there was nothing wrong with the consensual activity promoted by OnlyFans and then claimed that what he had said about Boebert wasn&#8217;t really wrong since Republicans weren&#8217;t the ones who cared about issues like misogyny.

MSNBC contributor <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/biden-was-war-hero-chopping-wood-when-pulled-out-of-retirement-msnbc-guest-claims/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jason Johnson</a> jumped the gun on Tuesday afternoon, claiming that the election results in Georgia would not be fair before the polls had even closed in that state.
Johnson claimed that voter suppression in Georgia was far worse than it had been in 2018, arguing that Governor <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/brian-kemp-blasts-stacey-abrams-after-she-loses-court-battle-against-georgia-voter-integrity-laws/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brian Kemp</a> (R) and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) had put policies into place that would keep people from voting.

&#8220;In the state of Georgia, thanks to Brian Kemp and Raffensperger, they changed the state law so that you cannot get a provisional ballot in Georgia before 5 o&#8217;clock,&#8221; Johnson began. &#8220;So if you waited in line for two and a half hours, got there, and they said, &#8216;Oh, there&#8217;s some sort of mistake,&#8217; you can&#8217;t get a provisional ballot here.&#8221;
&#8220;The level of voter suppression is beyond anything that we saw in 2018, so I think it&#8217;s completely up in the air,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;There has been youth turnout at levels we haven&#8217;t expected. Democrats feel confident, Republicans I&#8217;ve spoken to feel confident. But we can’t say that whatever happens tonight is a fair and equitable election because there have been too many laws passed by election deniers to keep people from being able to express themselves.&#8221;
The <a href="https://sos.ga.gov/how-to-guide/how-guide-voting#Provisional%20Ballot%20Voting%20Guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">provisional ballot rule</a> Johnson mentioned, according to the Georgia Secretary of State&#8217;s office, applies to voters who are registered in the county where they are trying to vote, but are attempting to vote at the wrong precinct. Provisional ballots can be filed at the wrong precinct after 5 p.m. — but the voters can also choose to leave the wrong precinct and cast a standard ballot at the correct precinct at any time during polling place hours.
Second-time Georgia gubernatorial hopeful Stacey Abrams (D) has also spoken out ahead of the election, claiming that the record turnout in early voting did nothing to assuage her fears that <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/democrats-georgias-record-voter-turnout-is-actually-voter-suppression/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">voter suppression</a> was still happening on a grand scale.

Just when you think that MSNBC is finally getting tough on Democrats like Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kathy-hochul" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kathy Hochul</a> (D-NY) for rampant crime, Stephanie Ruhle ends her interview with New York&#8217;s governor with a softball for the ages.
Crime has <a href="https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-ny/ny-state-of-politics/2022/11/01/crime-and-public-safety-dominate-final-week-in-new-york-governor-s-race" target="_blank" rel="noopener">become a top issue</a> — if not the number one concern — in the Empire State gubernatorial race because simply put, New York City is going to hell in a hand-basket. As covered Friday, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/while-cnn-displays-data-showing-nyc-crime-up-31-kathy-hochul-says-gop-dishonest-about-rising-lawlessness" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lawlessness in all areas except murder has skyrocketed</a> in the Big Apple.
Hochul, for her part, has gone from <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/absolutely-crushing-kathy-a-fiery-zeldin-comes-out-swinging-over-crime-in-debate-against-hochul" target="_blank" rel="noopener">downplaying the issue</a>, to calling Republicans like GOP gubernatorial candidates &#8220;<a href="https://nypost.com/2022/11/01/hochul-defends-remarks-on-crime-conspiracy-manipulators/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">master manipulators</a>&#8221; of data, to now saying that she takes it seriously. Ruhle, host of the TV show &#8220;11th hour,&#8221; asked her about it Friday night.
&#8220;Well, what New Yorkers care about is their health, their safety, their wellbeing,&#8221; Ruhle told Hochul after the governor tried saying voters should care about Zeldin&#8217;s ties to former President Donald J. Trump. &#8220;Crime is clearly the reason this race has gotten so much tighter. Lee Zeldin has made it clear. He would address crime by making bail adjustments and &#8230; getting rid of Manhattan [District Attorney] Alvin Bragg. You do not want to do those things. What three things would you do, would you commit to, to address public safety?&#8221;
Hochul obfuscated and claimed that she has always cared about crime, that she is is focusing on getting guns off the streets, is working to put cameras on subways, and keep mentally insane people off of public transportation.
The answer wasn&#8217;t cutting it for the host.
&#8220;Okay, I&#8217;m gonna interrupt you then,&#8221; Ruhle rebutted. &#8220;Here&#8217;s the problem. We don’t feel safe. You might be working closely with Mayor Adams, you may have spent a whole lot of money, but I walk into my pharmacy, and everything is on lockdown because of shoplifters. I’m not going in the subway. People don&#8217;t feel safe in this town. So you may have done these things, but right now, we&#8217;re not feeling good. We&#8217;re worried we could be San Francisco.&#8221;
Hochul assured Ruhle that the city would never be San Francisco.
Why? Well, because murder rates are down for one, she claimed. And she just passed a new law requiring that certain businesses put serial numbers on catalytic converters so that those car components can be traced in case a vehicle is stolen and the converter is sold for thousands of dollars to a chop shop. In turn, the chop shop guys have to keep records of catalytic converters.
Per the governor&#8217;s <a href="https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/governor-hochul-announces-new-actions-crack-down-catalytic-converter-and-auto-theft" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>, those serial numbers will only be applied to future used and new cars — not those currently on the street. Hochul&#8217;s website says &#8220;new motor vehicle dealers and other qualified dealers will be required to stock catalytic converter etching kits to put a unique serial number on the components so that they can be tracked back if they are stolen.”
So it is not entirely certain how that addresses the issue for current vehicle owners.
Hochul also claimed that the crimes were occurring nationwide.
&#8220;So, I&#8217;m not sure how firing one district attorney in one borough in New York is going to deal with the crime issue across the state, across the nation,&#8221; she said.
Bragg, whom she is referring to, is <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2022/01/28/meet-alvin-bragg-rogue-prosecutor-whose-policies-are-wreaking-havoc-in-manhattan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">supported by billionaire George Soros</a> and pushes soft-on-crime policies. Hochul should read the New York Post to clarify how removing Bragg would help address the problem. On Saturday, the Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/11/05/after-nine-months-in-office-manhattan-da-has-nothing-to-bragg-about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that &#8220;[s]ince taking office in January, [Bragg] has overseen a 30.5% surge in major crimes in Manhattan compared to the same time in 2021, NYPD data through Oct. 30 show. Citywide, the spike is at 29.6%.&#8221;
In other words, his jurisdiction is outpacing the rest of the city. If she doesn&#8217;t understand why voters would be concerned with Bragg, it&#8217;s no wonder why she&#8217;s in a dead heat with Zeldin.
Ruhle, to her credit, pressed Hochul on why nationwide stats would matter to a New Yorker. However, she ended the interview with a softball.
&#8220;Do you think that you face, whether it&#8217;s conscious or unconscious, sexism by voters?&#8221; Ruhle asked. &#8220;Especially as it relates to crime and public safety? New Yorkers who are used to these alpha-male, macho men governors or political leaders here? And you are not from New York City.&#8221;
&#8220;You are a petite, capable woman from upstate,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Do you think we give you enough credit?&#8221;
Hochul&#8217;s answer was predictably self-congratulatory and out of touch. The entire segment can be seen here:

‘People Don’t Feel Safe’: MSNBC Sort Of Grills Kathy Hochul On Crime, Then Ends It On A Softball

'People Don't Feel Safe': MSNBC Sort Of Grills Kathy Hochul On Crime, Then Ends It On A Softball

New York

It should have been obvious that there was no limit to what sort of nonsense <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/majority-of-americans-think-crime-is-up-msnbc-says-theyre-just-manipulated-by-republicans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MSNBC&#8217;s</a> Joy Reid could spout after she was able to keep her job while claiming that unknown <a href="https://theintercept.com/2018/04/24/msnbcs-joy-reid-claims-her-website-was-hacked-and-bigoted-anti-lgbt-content-added-a-bizarre-story-liberal-outlets-ignore/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hackers</a> posted homophobic slurs on an old blog post of hers, but every so often, it&#8217;s worth reviewing what she&#8217;s telling her audience.
Thursday evening, Reid claimed that the GOP taught the United States what the word &#8220;inflation&#8221; means, implying that the only reason Americans are concerned with the rising cost of goods is due to conservative propaganda.
&#8220;The only people I ever heard use the word inflation are journalists and economists,&#8221; she said with a chuckle. &#8220;So, that is not part of the normal lexicon of the way people talk. So, it&#8217;s interesting that Republicans are doing something they don&#8217;t normally do — which is not use the common tongue, not use common English &#8230;&#8221;
Under President Joe Biden, America has experienced the worst inflation in decades. Basically, everything is expensive and it&#8217;s a big reason why Democrats are heading for a shellacking on Tuesday.
For some reason, Reid thinks the country wouldn&#8217;t know how to describe this economic misery if not for anti-Democrat efforts.
&#8220;What they&#8217;ve done is taught people the word inflation, right?&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Most people who would have never used that word in their lives are now using it now because they&#8217;ve been taught it. Including on TV, including in newspapers — they&#8217;ve been taught this word.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
There are a couple of explanations for Reid&#8217;s bizarre claim.
The first is that Reid has been surrounded by dopes her entire life. It is unclear what sort of people Reid pals around with, but suffice it to say, they are really dumb people if they have never used the term &#8220;inflation&#8221; in casual conversation. Anybody with half of a brain knows what it is, even if they have never experienced disastrous price hikes like we are now.
The second option is that Reid, a <a href="https://ash.harvard.edu/event/speaker-series-joy-ann-reid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harvard</a> graduate, is isolated from the common American and assumes we are all a bunch of morons. In her leftist bubble, perhaps Reid has conjured up a caricature that anybody who doesn&#8217;t have a subscription to The New Yorker, or whatever, is just a dumbo.
Neither option is mutually exclusive.
Of course, the 53-year-old has often exposed herself as ignorant beyond her years.
For example, in 2017, she claimed, “‘Classical liberal&#8217; is an accurate term for a person who supports New Deal economics and social modernity, but does not identify as socialist.&#8221;
The definition of &#8220;classical liberal&#8221; is practically the opposite of that and refers to one who <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_liberalism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">supports</a> free market economics with an emphasis on laissez-faire economics, alongside individual responsibility and adherence to rule of law guided by liberty and freedom. Even Wikipedia <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_liberalism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">still uses that definition</a>.
A reader might be wondering why any of this matters. Well, Reid — believe it or not — <a href="https://ustvdb.com/networks/msnbc/shows/reidout/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">speaks</a> to at least one million per night.
If you&#8217;ve been wondering how so many people can be so misinformed, she partly explains why.

Political commentators and media members reacted on social media on Friday to news that MSNBC host Tiffany Cross was dropped by the network.
Megyn Kelly, Clay Travis, Roland Martin and many others reacted to headlines like <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/tv/breaking-msnbc-abruptly-severs-ties-with-tiffany-cross/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mediate&#8217;s</a>, which read &#8220;MSNBC Abruptly Severs Ties With Tiffany Cross.&#8221;

Kelly and many others were quick to point out that Tagovailoa is not black and his coach is not white.
Fox News Tucker Carlson had a recent <a href="https://twitter.com/TPostMillennial/status/1582898927002599424?s=20&amp;t=Eil9YHeK-thFXRI4hA0pgg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">segment</a> highlighting some of the things Cross has said, including instances in which she labeled white people dangerous and called out &#8220;white women who have been radicalized.&#8221; Numerous other examples of Cross&#8217; comments have been reported by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tiffany-cross" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a>.

&#8220;I have good news … Tiffany Cross, the most racist person in all of television, and in particular on MSNBC, just got fired. Poor Tiffany … Joy oh joy, Tiffany Cross is gone!&#8221; the former Fox News host said.
Loesch added, &#8220;I had to really think hard and remember who she was …&#8221;
&#8220;MSNBC fired the TV host who said the reason Tua wasn&#8217;t protected by the NFL was because he was a black quarterback with a white coach,&#8221; OutKick&#8217;s Clay Travis tweeted. &#8220;She went 0-2, Tua isn&#8217;t black and his coach isn&#8217;t white.

MSNBC announced on Friday that the network was severing all ties with host Tiffany Cross, choosing after just short of two years not to renew her Saturday show &#8220;The Cross Connection.&#8221;
Variety was first to <a href="https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/msnbc-tiffany-cross-departure-tv-news-1235423317/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> the news, saying that the network had not yet named a replacement and would instead be using several guest hosts on rotation until someone was chosen to take over the slot permanently. Cross was reportedly informed of the network&#8217;s decision on Friday morning, and has not yet issued a statement.
<a href="https://dailywire.com/news/girl-bye-msnbc-host-blames-kyrsten-sinema-for-upholding-white-supremacy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cross</a> often pushed the envelope on her show, and according to <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/tv/breaking-msnbc-abruptly-severs-ties-with-tiffany-cross/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mediaite</a>, that may have set the stage for her exit. The outlet reported Friday that Cross had been warned multiple times to tone down comments that she was told did not meet MSNBC&#8217;s &#8220;standard&#8221; of coverage.
&#8220;Repeated bad behavior on and off-air. Bad judgment,&#8221; another insider reportedly shared with <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/far-left-host-tiffany-cross-out-at-msnbc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News Digital</a>.
What may have been the last straw, however, was something Cross said during a Thursday evening appearance with Charlamagne Tha God.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
During a discussion on Comedy Central&#8217;s &#8220;Hell of a Week with Charlamagne Tha God,&#8221; Cross gave her response to the prompt &#8220;One&#8217;s gotta go&#8221; — and her choices were Florida, Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania.
&#8220;I say Florida literally looks like the d*** of the country, so let&#8217;s get rid of Florida,&#8221; she said, adding, &#8220;Let&#8217;s castrate Florida &#8230; Here&#8217;s the problem: Ron DeStupid, Ron DeSantis, whatever you want to call Florida man, he is so problematic.&#8221;
&#8220;The people there passed Amendment 4, which gave returning citizens, those that were formerly incarcerated the right to vote. He instituted a poll tax, he has done everything he can to keep black and brown people from the ballot, he traffics in stupidity and ignorance, and I just think they are a problem for the rest of the country,&#8221; she continued.
What Cross referred to as a &#8220;poll tax,&#8221; however, is <a href="https://www.aclu.org/news/voting-rights/amendment-4-is-back-in-court-as-florida-fights-our-victory-over-its-modern-day-poll-tax" target="_blank" rel="noopener">not a tax</a> at all — it is simply a requirement that felons must have paid any fees and restitution associated with the crime for which they were incarcerated before they regain the right to vote upon release.
Cross&#8217; staffers at MSNBC will remain with the network.

‘Bad Judgment’: MSNBC Dumps Tiffany Cross After She Calls Florida ‘America’s D***’

MSNBC Dumps Tiffany Cross After She Calls Florida 'America's D***'

Florida

Tiffany Cross

NBC historian Michael Beschloss, who is known for making hyper-partisan and fanatical claims, claimed without evidence during a segment this week that if Republicans win the midterm elections next week that children could be arrested and killed.
Beschloss&#8217; remarks on MSNBC&#8217;s &#8220;All In With Chris Hayes&#8221; comes after President Joe Biden urged the country to unite and repeatedly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-calling-for-americans-to-unite-demonizes-republicans-as-a-threat-to-democracy">demonized</a> Republicans as a threat to American democracy during a speech this week.
&#8220;Six nights from now, we could all be discussing violence all over this country,&#8221; Beschloss claimed. &#8220;There are signs that may happen, may God forbid, that losers will be declared winners by fraudulent election officers, or secretary of state candidates, or governors, or state legislatures.&#8221;
&#8220;We could be six days away from losing our rule of law and losing a situation where we have elections that we all can rely on,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;You know, those are the foundation stones of a democracy. So, if Biden had gone on the air tonight and said, the biggest thing we have to worry about is marginal tax rates, or something like that, well, it is important. But what significant presidents do, I think you&#8217;ll agree, we both write history, you and I. In 1860, Lincoln didn&#8217;t say the biggest issue was — colleges, although he felt strongly. He said the country can&#8217;t survive half slave or half free.&#8221;
&#8220;1940, Franklin Roosevelt didn&#8217;t say, you know, the biggest thing I&#8217;m worried about is farm policy,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Farm policy was important to him, but what he did say was, never before, since Jamestown and Plymouth Rock has America been in such danger.&#8221;
&#8220;Joe Biden is saying the same thing tonight, and a historian 50 years from now, if historians are allowed to write in this country, and if there are still free publishing houses and a free press, which I&#8217;m not certain of,&#8221; he concluded on the matter. &#8220;But if that is true, a historian will say what was at stake tonight and this week was the fact whether we will be a democracy in the future, whether our children will be arrested and conceivably killed — we&#8217;re on the edge of a brutal authoritarian system, and it could be a week away.&#8221;

NBC Historian: If GOP Wins ‘Our Children’ Could Be Potentially ‘Arrested And Conceivably Killed’

Far-Left radio host Dean Obeidallah, who appears regularly on MSNBC, announced this week that he was trying to take action to &#8220;strip&#8221; new Twitter CEO Elon Musk of his U.S. citizenship.
&#8220;As a lawyer Im going to do research to see if @elonmusk in any way lied on his application for US citizenship,&#8221; Obeidallah claimed. &#8220;I&#8217;ll be making a FOIA request for his immigration application. If he lied anywhere on application we will move to strip him of US citizenship. Stay tuned.&#8221;
&#8220;I formally made a request via FOIA today for Elon Musk&#8217;s immigration application documents,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I will let you know what I hear back. The application may be 100% fine with no misinformation or lies. Then again&#8230; We will see.&#8221;
Obeidallah <a href="https://twitter.com/DeanObeidallah/status/1587272006164267009" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> that Musk was &#8220;trying to manipulate both [U.S. political] sides into violence.&#8221; &#8220;Reminder: Elon musk does NOT the love the USA,&#8221; he claimed without evidence. &#8220;He is using us to attack each other. Is Elon Putin funded? China funded? Unclear. But he’s anti-American.&#8221;
Obeidallah was mocked online over the claims.
Journalist Yashar Ali tweeted: &#8220;Some of you have truly lost the plot. Also, you can’t gain access to someone else’s immigration records without their written consent. &#8216;As a lawyer…'&#8221;

Even as Obeidallah acknowledged that Musk would have to consent to such records being released but then floated a conspiracy theory that Musk could be hiding something if he does not agree.
&#8220;If he consents, I will share the file,&#8221; Obeidallah tweeted. &#8220;If he refuses to consent then we must ask: What is Elon hiding?!&#8221;
Political commentator Tatjana Pasalic mocked Obeidallah, writing, &#8220;People breathless about fascism on the reg openly promoting stripping @elonmusk of US citizenship because he disagrees with them. Amazing.&#8221;

Frequent MSNBC Guest Takes Action To 'Strip' Elon Musk Of His U.S. Citizenship, Gets Mocked Instantly

Americans are overwhelmingly convinced that <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/crime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">crime</a> has risen in comparison to last year as voters prepare to cast ballots in the <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/2022-midterms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">midterm</a> elections.
According to a new <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/404048/record-high-perceive-local-crime-increased.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">poll</a> from Gallup, roughly 56% of adults reported an increase in crime where they live, while 78% believe that crime has risen in the nation as a whole, marking the worst sentiment about public safety in three decades. While a far higher percentage of Republicans reported more local crime, Democratic views were essentially unchanged, even as independents’ perceptions leaned toward concerns of increased lawlessness.
On the issue of crime, Republicans boast a 14% lead over their Democratic counterparts in terms of voter trust ahead of the midterms, including a 34% lead among independents, according to a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-midterm-poll-spells-bad-news-for-democrats-on-the-economy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">poll</a> from ABC News and The Washington Post. The present election cycle has witnessed several Republican underdogs surging to become viable candidates against Democratic incumbents. In deep-blue New York, for example, Republican Congressman Lee Zeldin is posing a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-republican-partys-big-guns-head-to-new-york-to-push-lee-zeldin-over-the-top-in-governors-race" target="_blank" rel="noopener">surprise challenge</a> to Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul as residents become increasingly worried about public safety and homelessness.
Nevertheless, MSNBC opinion columnist Hayes Brown wrote in an <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/fox-news-gop-think-crime-numbers-don-t-agree-n1300347">analysis</a> that the Gallup poll shows the “disconnect between the perception of increased crime in an area and whether that purported increase can accurately be measured,” adding that Republican efforts to “frame cities as liberal-created hellscapes” may have shaped sentiment. He referred to nationwide crime data from the Department of Justice which showed that “violent victimization,” which includes violent crimes such as rape and robbery while omitting murder, “did not change” between 2020 and 2021, even as property crimes “had not significantly increased” from the previous year.
“This is an only slightly less dangerous version of former President Donald Trump’s election denialism cycle in 2020: Say that there’s a problem without real evidence, then use the fact that people think there is a problem as proof that a problem exists,” Hayes wrote. “Republicans have invested a lot of time and money into priming the country to believe that Democrats have heralded in a new era of lawlessness and only the GOP’s mass incarceration plans can keep people safe. Gallup’s poll shows Republicans are getting a very solid return on that investment.”
Meanwhile, many cities have indeed witnessed crime waves even beyond the massive jump seen two years ago, according to <a href="https://wallethub.com/edu/cities-homicide-rate/94070">data</a> assembled by WalletHub. Cities such as New Orleans, Detroit, Albuquerque, and Colorado Springs saw increases in their homicide rate per capita between the third quarter of 2021 and the third quarter of 2022. Twelve of the major American cities which set <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/twelve-major-cities-with-new-homicide-records-in-2021-all-led-by-democrats" target="_blank" rel="noopener">new homicide records</a> last year were run by Democrats.
Noting that “violent crime increases have continued” into this year across much of the country, University of Pennsylvania criminology professor Richard Berk <a href="https://crim.sas.upenn.edu/fact-check/violent-crime-increasing#:~:text=Violent%20crime%20recently%20has%20been,increases%20have%20continued%20into%202022." target="_blank" rel="noopener">contended</a> that the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement and criticism of police force is among the best explanations for the rise in crime over the past eight years.
“Some moderation in the use of force could result from well-meaning responses to past excesses, while some police officers might simply choose to abstain from any encounters for which they might be later criticized, fired, sued, or criminally charged,” he wrote. “Whatever the truth behind such conjectures, one consequence might be to embolden individuals already inclined toward violence; public criticism of the police might be seen as delivering the proverbial get-out-of-jail-free card.”

Crime

Longtime MSNBC anchor <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/andrea-mitchell/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Andrea Mitchell</a> attempted to tie the violent attack on <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/paul-pelosi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paul Pelosi</a> to the January 6th riot on Capitol Hill.
Mitchell pointed to reports saying that the alleged attacker, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/suspect-who-allegedly-attacked-paul-pelosi-with-hammer-is-identified-former-castro-nudist-protester" target="_blank" rel="noopener">identified</a> by authorities as Berkeley resident <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/breaking-nancy-pelosis-husband-violently-assaulted-hospitalized-after-break-in-at-california-home/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David DePape</a>, had been looking for the House Speaker and asking, &#8220;Where is Nancy?&#8221; — just like some of the rioters had asked as they walked through the halls of the Capitol on January 6th, 2021.

&#8220;The assailant who attacked Paul Pelosi was in search of the Speaker of the House,&#8221; Mitchell began. &#8220;Which puts it into a federal crime, you know, against the relative of an officer and now the second in line for the presidency.&#8221;
&#8220;Before the assault occurred, according to the source, the intruder confronted Mr. Pelosi in their home, shouting, &#8216;Where is Nancy? Where is Nancy?’” Mitchell continued, before observing, &#8220;That&#8217;s what the intruders going through hallways on Jan. 6 were shouting: &#8216;Nancy, Nancy,&#8217; this is part of the January 6th insurrection toxicity that has infected the brains of people around the country in horrible ways, if this is accurate.&#8221;
Despite Mitchell&#8217;s claims, local officials have made it a point to state that the motive for the attack has not yet been determined.

Even Drew Hammill, spokesperson for Speaker Pelosi, said in his initial statement that no one had yet determined the alleged attacker&#8217;s motive: &#8220;The assailant is in custody and the motivation for the attack is under investigation.&#8221;
Still, Mitchell was not the only one leaping to such conclusions. Attorney Tristan Snell claimed, &#8220;January 6 isn&#8217;t over. They tried to kill Pelosi that day, and she&#8217;s still in danger. This won&#8217;t end until every single person involved is brought to justice. Every. Single. One.&#8221;

Tennessee Congressional candidate Randal Cooper <a href="https://twitter.com/CooperforTN6/status/1586038762273849344" target="_blank" rel="noopener">argued</a> that a failure to address what happened on January 6th was the reason politically motivated violence was happening.
&#8220;Our collective failure to have any real consequences for the violent attempt to overthrow the government on January 6 continues. It’s been left to voters to decide whether we’re a democracy or a dictatorship,&#8221; he claimed.
