MSNBC host Tiffany Cross characterized the truck driving industry as populated by “a lot of white men” who she says “overwhelmingly voted for” former President Donald Trump.
Cross, who is the author of Say It Louder! Black Voters, said Sunday on Cross Connection that she is worried because her brother is a truck driver . She said it “feels like a dangerous industry.”
Cross questioned her guest, CrossCountry Truck Driving School owner and president Pamela Day, about how the industry can become more “welcoming” to drivers of color. . .
