as posted by the channel

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 Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) 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 (D-NY) folded “like a paper napkin” to President Trump.
