MSNBC host Symone Sanders Townsend

MSNBC host Symone Sanders Townsend left her panel speechless after declaring live on air that she will leave the Democratic Party to become an Independent.

Her announcement came while blasting Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and fellow Democrats for caving to Republican demands in order to avoid the latest government funding showdown.

'I'm p*****,' Sanders Townsend said bluntly during The Weekend show as she shared her outrage over Schumer's decision to suddenly back the Republican-led spending bill that averted a government shutdown

‘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. I'm going to change my registration to Independent,' a frustrated Sanders Townsend said.
