CNN guest takes heat after saying America was 'never great'
Former MSNBC host Tiffany Cross argued that America "was never great" during an appearance on CNN on Tuesday.

Cross bashed President Donald Trump and his administration as "inept," arguing that the administration put national security at risk, before taking a shot at Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan. Ex-msnbc Host Tiffany Cross Goes Off On Network About Her Treatment: I Had My 'Intelligence Questioned' "They ran on this whole idea of this pseudo-patriotism, this aggressive, masculine patriotism, yet everything they're doing runs against 'making America great,'" Cross said. "It was never 'great,' so I'm not going to say the 'again' part." Cross doubled down on her statement after Republican guest Joe Borelli, former Minority Leader of the New York City Council, started to protest. Read On The Fox News App "I absolutely feel that way. I think if you had the history my people had in this country, then you might have a modicum of understanding and respect for that. America was never great for me," Cross continued. She added that it was a "common understanding" that America was only "great" for certain people.

Angela Rye Firmly Tells Kevin O'Leary Not To Touch Her In Fiery CNN Debate
Headline news on CNN took an uncomfortable turn today (March 20) when Angela Rye, host of the Native Land Pod, called out Shark Tank star Kevin O'Leary for touching her. The on-air clash erupted when the two were sparring over Elon Musk's ethics. In the segment, Rye argues that Musk's contributions of $6,600 to seven different Republican lawmakers should be viewed as a 'quid pro quo,' insinuating that the billionaire was buying influence. In an attempt to launch his counterpoint, O'Leary began animatedly gesturing and was abruptly confronted. 'He literally tweeted to members of Congress… you don't have to touch me!' Rye snapped. Taken aback, O'Leary attempted to defuse the situation. 'I did that nicely,' he insisted. 'I don't want you to touch me,' the podcaster shot back. 'I won't ever do it again,' O'Leary then conceded, leaving an awkward tension to linger between them. See the moment below. Unmoved by the awkwardness, Rye pressed on, emphasizing that Musk had explicitly thanked the lawmakers receiving his donations on X. 'But he literally says, he literally, he says thank you to the members who introduced articles of impeachment,' she stated. 'That is an exchange of value. That is a violation.' O'Leary, rebounding from the tense moment, pivoted to a broader perspective on political fundraising. 'Let's talk about the two narratives going on simultaneously. The oldest profession on Earth is not prostitution; it's politicians raising money,' he quipped. 'That has happened from the beginning of time. That's going on forever and will continue forever. This issue around judges, this is pure politics. Get over it. This is what we live in today, every day.' 'No laws have been broken,' he added. 'You don't like it? Too bad.' Angela Rye has never been one to hold back her feelings about political issues. In 2017, Rye created another moment when she refused to call Donald Trump 'her president.' See Rye's exchange with Kevin O'Leary above.

CNN Panelist Awkwardly Tells Kevin O'Leary to Back Off: ‘I Don't Want You to Touch Me!'
A CNN panelist awkwardly rebuked Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary after he touched her during a fiery showdown about Elon Musk's donations to GOP members of Congress who support President Trump's impeachment calls against dissenting judges. Angela Rye, the Native Land Pod host, was making the point that Musk's donations—reported to be $6,600 each to seven Republicans—might contravene ethics guidelines because they were 'quid pro quo' in exchange for favors from the recipients. At this moment, with her co-panelist gesturing with his hands eager to make his point, she accuses O'Leary of touching her. Rye snaps at the businessman midway through a point, saying: 'He literally tweeted to members of don't have to touch me!' O'Leary responded that 'I did that nicely,' to which Rye responded again: 'I don't want you to touch me.' 'I won't ever do it again,' the businessman said. Rye went on to make her point that Musk explicitly thanked the recipients of his donations on X. 'But he literally says, he literally, he says thank you to the members who introduced articles of impeachment,' she explained. 'That is an exchange of value. That is a violation.' Recovered from his slap-down, O'Leary took a different stance. He said: 'Let's talk about the two narratives going on simultaneously. The oldest profession on Earth is not prostitution; it's politicians raising money. 'That has happened from the beginning of time. That's going on forever and will continue forever. This issue around judges, this is pure politics. Get over it. This is what we live in today, every day.' He added: 'No laws have been broken. You don't like it? Too bad.' It comes after Musk put his hand in his pocket for Reps. Eli Crane of Arizona, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Andy Ogles of Tennessee, Andrew Clyde of Georgia, Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin, and Brandon Gill of Texas, as well as Sen. Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, according to the New York Times. Gill introduced a resolution to impeach U.S. District Judge James Boasberg on Tuesday, after an Obama-appointed judge blocked President Donald Trump from using a wartime law to deport Venezuelan migrants who the president claims are gang members. Trump called for the judge's impeachment in a Truth Social post on Tuesday. Musk is hot on the idea of impeaching judges, too. Last week, he threw a tantrum after his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was dealt a series of legal setbacks, immediately calling for the impeachment of federal judges. 'Without judicial reform, which means at least the absolute worst judges get impeached, we don't have real democracy in America,' Musk said on X. He reacted after federal agencies were ordered on Thursday to immediately reinstate tens of thousands of federal workers with probationary status who had been laid off by DOGE. Since then, he has repeated his pleas. 'For more than two centuries, there has never such extreme abuse of the legal system by activists pretending to be judges. Impeach them,' he wrote on X Wednesday.
