MSNBC has abruptly cut ties with weekend host Tiffany Cross, opting not to renew her contract after almost two years and severing ties, Mediaite has learned.
Cross, whose Saturday show The Cross Connection was a source of controversy for the network, has not commented publicly on the cancellation. Her production team was told of the decision on Friday. They will remain at the network, a source familiar with the matter told Mediaite, as they currently work on MSNBC’s Sunday show in the same slot.
A source familiar with the decision told Mediaite that comments and coverage from Cross did not adhere to MSNBC’s standards. The source said she was repeatedly told this by the network. The source said this has been an ongoing issue, and concerns have been addressed multiple times.
Cross has stirred controversy for outrageous commentary in recent months. She has repeatedly declared civil war has begun, and as recently as Thursday night in an interview with Charlamagne tha God she called the state of Florida “the dick of the country.”
Cross did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Variety was first to report the news on Friday morning and that “a rotating group of anchors will lead her weekend hours until a replacement is found.”

The Cross Connection would have hit two years on air next month. Her first guest when the show premiered was Democrat “squad” member Rep. Ayanna Pressley, who returned on the one-year anniversary with glowing praise.
Although harsh criticism of Republicans and the right is not out of place at the network, Cross took it to a new level during her time on air, frequently courting outrage and even engaging high profile feuds.

Who?
If she’s right about Florida then since DeSantis is governor it should start moving north.
She sounds like she’d fit right in on The View.
And that is one helluva low bar.
Another angry black woman?...................
Cultural appropriating those ripped jeans. I am surprised she hasn’t dyed her hair blonde.
The old business model of selling(and competing for)advertising time for revenue is obviously not necessary, the numbers just don't add up. Therefore their financing(to stay afloat)must be coming from private/outside sources/agenda.
Signed,
Captain Obvious.
Since she’s part of the Klan with a Tan, she could have called her show The Burning Cross Connection.
She looks mulatto to me. I noticed it’s always half and halfs who are the most insanely radical, as if they are trying to “up” their blackness like Melissa Harris Perry who also got canned from MSNBC
Or as Gallagher said, 'Florida looks like we're pissing on Cuba'.
Where am I going to get my daily dose of black-on-white racism? Oh, yeah, Joy Reid.
This is bizarre because last week Mark Levin was bashing her on his radio show, asking why Comcast which owns MSLSD doesn’t fire her.
As I recall—a fact sympathetic Mediate omitted—she all but called for killing MAGA republicans a couple weeks ago. She rivals Reid as most racist TV personality in America.
A real piece of work.
Is her leather vest on backwards?
Good and good riddance.
The left always overplays their hand. They say outrageous and awful things that most people don’t want to hear and know are just not true.
The left has ruined America and they cannot hide from it because the tale is told through their hateful and foul lying mouths.
Just badmouthing your opponents inspires no confidence that you will even try to correct the damage you have done.
The MSM knows they are going to loose and loose BIG.
They are going to go into hiding until its safe to come out again.
There are worse things.
San Francisco is arguably the exit door part of the us anatomy.
YES! and the white women who have black kids are also in that group.
