MSNBC host Tiffany Cross said Saturday that CNN’s Van Jones, ESPN anchor Sage Steele and former MSNBC anchor Carlos Watson may be black but they “are not necessarily black voices.”

During a monologue on “Cross Connection,” Cross took aim at Jones, Steele and Watson, alleging they do not speak for the black community.

“Okay, Carlos Watson, Sage Steele, Van Jones. What do these three folks have in common? Well, they’re all people who’ve been prompted up by wealthy or powerful white Americans, and yet we, the keepers of the culture, don’t really rock with any of them like that,” Cross said. “Now obviously, the three of these folks are most definitely black faces. However, they are not necessarily black voices. And there’s a difference.”
