MSNBC host Symone Sanders Townsend announces live on-air she’s quitting Dem party over Schumer siding with GOP on spending bill

MSNBC host Symone Sanders Townsend announced live on-air that she’s  quitting her beloved Democratic Party because she is so “pissed” at Chuck Schumer siding with the Republicans on the latest spending bill.

Sanders Townsend — a former press secretary for Bernie Sanders and senior adviser for both former President Joe Biden and his vice president, Kamala Harris —  said she was done with her party because Senate Minority Leader Schumer folded “like a paper napkin” to President Trump.

“There’s actually little that the Senate minority leader can say, and the 10 Democrats that voted with the Republicans can say, to appease somebody like me,” she told panelists on her show, “The Weekend.”

“I’m about to change my registration to independent, first and foremost,” she told her shocked fellow panelists.
