MSNBC’s race-baiting rhetoric was on full display Sunday as new far-left weekend host Tiffany Cross accused President Trump of “stoking a race war” because an armed couple in St. Louis defended their home from radical demonstrators. She then brought on a fellow left-wing activist to label America an inherently evil and racist country.
Cross described the conflict between the Missouri couple and Black Lives Matters protesters as vaguely as possible:
But there’s another case occurred in St. Louis, Missouri, where a couple pointed a pistol and a semi-automatic rifle at Black Lives Matter protesters marching in front of their house this week.
Cross, purposely, failed to inform her viewers the true details of what This couple, the McCloskeys, were just defending their property from an angry mob that broke through their fence.
Instead of going into the details, Cross decided to put the blame on Trump and white people:
But these cases are a disturbing pattern in this country of white people, including some who clearly love their guns as much as they love their privilege, threatening the lives of black people for doing the most basic everyday activities. Against this backdrop, Trump's Fourth of July message is not just hateful rhetoric. It’s not just a campaign strategy either. He is stoking a race war, and from what we are seeing, that race war is armed.
This incredibly divisive rhetoric is dangerous, and only serves to prop up the left wing media narrative that Trump and all white people are racists. Cross intentionally left out details of the story so that she could be a cheerleader for the leftist mob, and smear Trump for allegedly being the person starting a race war.
To continue MSNBC’s divisive rhetoric, Brittany Cunningham, a former Obama Administration task force member, went after the McCloskeys and Mount Rushmore:
Here’s the problem with that though Tiffany, it's not their land, it's most likely Osage land. And just like white men like Laclede and Chouteau help chop it up, we saw the same kind of behavior happen at the Sacred Black Hills of the Lakota Sioux where folks chopped up that mountain and carved in four presidents' faces, two of whom were slave owners, on land that should be returned to their rightful owners.
At this point, MSNBC has caved completely to the mob by spewing the vile narrative that America is a racist county, private property means nothing, and the that people alive today must apologize for sins of they did not commit.

MSNBC’s AM Joy with Tiffany Cross

TIFFANY CROSS: Trump once again, and unsurprisingly, is amplifying racial divides in America rather than attempting to unify a country that is in crisis from both the coronavirus pandemic and a national reckoning on race, centuries in the making. His us versus them rhetoric comes as we’ve seen emboldened white people pulled their guns out on civilians for simply existing while black.
This week in Michigan, a white woman and her husband were charged with felony assault after this viral video shows a woman pointing a gun at a black mother and her two daughters in a Chipotle parking lot. Now what took place before the argument is not exactly clear. But there’s another case occurred in St. Louis, Missouri, where a couple pointed a pistol and a semi-automatic rifle at Black Lives Matter protesters marching in front of their house this week. Incidents like these have inspired countless memes and the infamous "Karen" dub on social
media.But these cases are a disturbing pattern in this country of white people, including some who clearly love their guns as much as they love their privilege, threatening the lives of black people for doing the most basic everyday activities. Against this backdrop, Trump's Fourth of July message is not just hateful rhetoric. It’s not just a campaign strategy either. He is stoking a race war, and from what we are seeing, that race war is armed.

CROSS: Break down the gun toting Karens for us. What are we seeing? And what are we to do with this?
BRITTANY CUNNINGHAM (MEMBER, PRESIDENT OBAMA’S 21ST CENTURY POLICING TASK FORCE): Yeah, you know, I’m unsurprised. This is a story coming from my home town of St. Louis but is not certainly not unique to my hometown of St. Louis. The McCloskeys, from St. Louis, live on a private street, in the middle of urban St. Louis. And these private streets actually became quiet popular right at the end of the Civil War, and I wonder why, it was because Missouri was a slave state and frankly they didn't want to live anywhere near these newly freed black folks. By the forties many of these streets just had outright restrictive covenants, that prevented and forbade black people from owning property there.So true to the legacy of their street, the McCloskeys wanted to protect their land by any means necessary. Here’s the problem with that though Tiffany, it's not their land, it's most likely Osage land. And just like white men like Laclede and Chouteau help chop it up, we saw the same kind of behavior happen at the Sacred Black Hills of the Lakota Sioux where folks chopped up that mountain and carved in four presidents' faces, two of whom were slave owners, on land that should be returned to their rightful owners.
So let’s be very very clear. The McCloskeys are not an aberration, they are not an anomaly, they are not crazy, they are not random. That idea makes it much easier for folks to separate themselves from this kind of behavior. But the truth is that they are a product of their environment, because the American environment prioritizes white people, white wealth and white land at the expense of all others no matter how many black folks, poor folks, or indigenous folks had to suffer along the way. It is as American as a slice of apple pie with a nice tall glass of the second amendment to wash it down, and its precisely the spirit Donald Trump invoked yesterday on his Independence Day.
