On her Saturday show, unhinged left-wing MSNBC host Tiffany Cross launched into a tirade against usually liberal-leaning HBO host Bill Maher for daring to call out radical woke leftists like her for being wildly out of touch. Trashing Maher as an “old angry white man,” Cross was eager to play the race card and claimed out of control cancel culture was “evolution.”
“Okay, Bill Maher has been whack for a long time....and his continual mostly white weekly panels where he sings sob songs to them about the perils of the shrinking demographic and chides anyone who falls even slightly outside of his myopic, privileged view,” Cross sneered at the top of her nasty monologue.
She then cited Maher’s latest offense to wokeism: “I did see the clipped segment of him complaining about Lin Manuel Miranda apologizing for the lack of Afro-Latino representation in his movie, In the Heights.” A soundbite ran of Maher delivering some desperately needed common sense on the topic:
You’re the guy who made the Founding Fathers black and Hispanic. I don’t think you have to apologize to Twitter. I mean, he’s a Latino making a Latino movie with a Latino cast. Not good enough. Nothing is ever good for these people, they’re like children.
Cross was outraged that Maher would defend the groundbreaking Hispanic entertainer: “...anybody find it interesting that this quote/unquote ‘liberal ally’ is sounding a lot like a moderate Fox News contributor?” Her sanctimonious lecture continued:
Bill Maher, you do not get to tell people of color what they should or should not be offended by. Stay in your lane, slim....you should have more diverse panels of people who can explain colorism to you and systemic racism and how these things still devastate people’s lives and livelihoods today. Try that instead of standing on your alabaster perch every week to crap on other people’s lived experience while providing a safe haven for well-established white supremacists. Because I gotta tell you, this old angry white man act is so played.
Cross insisted that the country was “evolving” to embrace left-wing cancel culture and was upset that Maher wasn’t doing the bidding of the woke mob: “The truth is, what’s happening now is an evolution and you are fighting for your power and privilege to not become fossilized, while basking in the rays of your own nonexistent cleverness and comedy bits circa three decades ago. And quite frankly, it’s just offensive at this point.”
Imagining herself to be witty, Cross concluded her tantrum by declaring: “The country, like it or not, is changing in real time. And sadly, ‘Fake Time With Bill Maher’ is not.”
The intolerant far left just can’t handle when someone they think should be an “ally” refuses to toe the radical line.
This wailing about Maher sharing an opinion the left doesn’t like was brought to viewers by Jeep and AT&T. You can fight back by letting these advertisers know what you think of them sponsoring such content.

TIFFANY CROSS: Okay, Bill Maher has been whack for a long time. From his make-out session with the black face expert, Megyn Kelly, to his infamous use of the ‘N’ word on his show, for which he later apologized, and his continual mostly white weekly panels where he sings sob songs to them about the perils of the shrinking demographic and chides anyone who falls even slightly outside of his myopic, privileged view. Maybe he even said something highly offensive again last night, I don’t know. I stopped suffering through that stale, clumsy monologue and painfully out of touch show a long time ago. But I did see the clipped segment of him complaining about Lin Manuel Miranda apologizing for the lack of Afro-Latino representation in his movie, In the Heights.
BILL MAHER [JUNE 18]: You’re the guy who made the Founding Fathers black and Hispanic. I don’t think you have to apologize to Twitter. I mean, he’s a Latino making a Latino movie with a Latino cast. Not good enough. Nothing is ever good for these people, they’re like children.
CROSS: Okay, so I don’t know if the applause from the audience was sincere or if they were responding to the applause sign in the studio, but either way, how disappointing. But let’s just address a few things. One, I thought it was not only gracious, but appropriate for Lin-Manuel Miranda to acknowledge that perhaps unintentional colorism in his amazing film and then apologize for it. Two, anybody find it interesting that this quote/unquote “liberal ally” is sounding a lot like a moderate Fox News contributor? This is why “allies” get the side eye sometimes. And, three, Bill Maher, you do not get to tell people of color what they should or should not be offended by. Stay in your lane, slim. Maybe instead of trying to invoke sympathy for Sharon Osborne or making sure Tomi Lahren has a space to espouse her BS, you should have more diverse panels of people who can explain colorism to you and systemic racism and how these things still devastate people’s lives and livelihoods today.
Try that instead of standing on your alabaster perch every week to crap on other people’s lived experience while providing a safe haven for well-established white supremacists. Because I gotta tell you, this old angry white man act is so played. I think you’re mistaking what’s happening now as a revolution, the favoring of a new system. And look, perhaps you disagree with that. But this is yet another of your perspectives that’s embarrassingly ignoring what’s happening all around you that you’re refusing to see. The truth is, what’s happening now is an evolution and you are fighting for your power and privilege to not become fossilized, while basking in the rays of your own nonexistent cleverness and comedy bits circa three decades ago. And quite frankly, it’s just offensive at this point. The country, like it or not, is changing in real time. And sadly, “Fake Time With Bill Maher” is not. So perhaps it’s time for you to take a step back and blow a quarter ounce of that green that you love so much, because clearly your thoughts have been lost in a white fog for far too long.
