MSNBC host Tiffany Cross said during her show over the weekend that people on the political Left needed to “pick up a weapon and get involved” in “the war” for American democracy, which she suggested was under threat by Republicans.
Fox News reported:
Cross was discussing alleged Trump election interference with Democrat state representative Jasmine Crockett, who is running for Congress in Texas, during Saturday’s edition of MSNBC’s “The Cross Connection” when the duo speculated about how to fend off Republicans who could object to future results.
“I don’t plan to give up, you know, I know that I wouldn’t be here, but for those that fought before me, and so I’m going to continue this fight,” Crockett said. “We can’t let up. If we say we’ve been defeated, then they have won. But this is a war. This isn’t a battle, and we absolutely will win this war.”
“It is a war,” Cross responded. “It is indeed a war and I have to say they have won some battles, Jasmine, but we have to keep our eye on the war and everybody needs to pick up a weapon and get involved because this is for the safety and lasting of the country.”
