MSNBC -Gastheer Symone Sanders Townsend left her panel speechless after she had stated live in the air that she will leave the Democratic party to become an independent.
Her announcement came during the destruction of the Senate Line Leader Chuck Schumer and colleague Democrats for saving to Republican requirements to prevent the latest confrontation with government financing.
“I am P *****,” Sanders Townsend said about the weekend show while she shared her indignation about Schumer's decision to suddenly support the expenditure account led by the Republicans that drove a government closure.
'There is actually little that the Senate Line Leader can say, and the 10 Democrats who voted with the Republicans can say to appease someone like me. I'm going to change my registration in Independent, “said a frustrated Sanders Townsend.
Her on-AR bomb surprised the panel, with her attitude comparable to what many now call the start of a political fracture within the Democratic ranks and a gap that could lead to a progressive rebellion against the party's establishment.
Schumer, considered for a long time as a master of tactical voices in the Senate, was in the center of a political fire storm after voting for a stop -spending for a stop -spending late on Friday evening.
The 74-year-old top democrat in New York had claimed last week that his camp was united in contrast to the Republican proposal supported by Trump.
But on Thursday he admitted and stated that he would vote to keep the government's lights.

Chuck Schumer, the 74-year-old top democrat, had claimed last week that his camp was united in contrast to the Republican proposal supported by Trump, but on Thursday he admitted and stated that he would vote to keep the government's lights on
Ten other Democrats joined him Schumer to push the measure across the finish line into a 54-46 votes.
Trump signed the law on Saturday afternoon in the law.
Schumer justified his position as the least-striking path and “the best way to minimize the damage that the Trump administration will cause to the American people.”
Almost all Republicans supported the measure. Senator Rand Paul, R-Ky., Voted against the bill together with almost all Democrats, except Senator Jeanne Shaheen, DN.H., and independent Senator Angus King van Maine.
The bill keeps the government active, but at the expense of billions in cuts, including the continuation of devastating cuts on agencies that have already been paralyzed by the radical federal fired from Trump and Elon Musk.
'The reality here is that there was no message, no strategy, and at the end of the day no leadership,' Fumed former Democratic congress member Donna Edwards, now an MSNBC analyst.
'This is really a black marking on Chuck Schumer. You cannot signal on Wednesday that you want to fight, and then on Thursday, your cave. And so now Republicans know that they should only play Democrats, and it will work. '
Schumer calculated that by avoiding a closure of President Trump would give a political gift.

'It is much, much better not to be in the middle of a shutdown, what [would] Development people from the number one problem we have against this B *******, “Schumer told MSNBC – before he quickly corrected himself:” Sorry, these people. '
But for many within his party, including some of the most loyal progressive allies, the excuse fell flat.
Sanders Townsend seemed to be seven when she tore Schumer and Senate Democrats in for what she called a complete collapse of resistance against Trump's agenda.
'There is no other option for senate democrats or house democrats to effectively reduce. This was it. She blew it, “said Sanders Townsend, who looked completely.
“The Democratic tea party was born on the same day that Chuck Schumer went on that stage to read that very well -made explanation that told us that he was folding like a paper napkin.”
Sanders Townsend reads from the substack of journalist Rebecca Traister, emphasized that the same democrats warn about the danger of Trump for Democracy now refusing to be against him in practice, perhaps pointing to the death of every authentic opposition within the party.
There was anger in New York and Washington DC when the news about the deal spread.
Outside the Schumer house in New York, more than 100 furious demonstrators gathered to expose his actions, while thousands of more flooded streets in Manhattan in contrast to both Trump and the democratic leadership that they think could not fight.

“The budget was our only leverage,” said Vaughan during the protest in Manhattan. “It was a way to show the basis of Democrats and the world that there is a resistance to this authoritarian takeover.”
During a rally in Manhattan, Aimee Reeves, recently fired from a non -profit organization by USAID cuts, Democrats said that the Trump's destruction of the government normalized.
“The government does not function as it should, and the fact that they brought a story to the fact that we had to vote for this bill to continue the government to function, is the normalization of something that is not normal at all,” said Reeves.
Even members of Schumer's own Caucus now ask his leadership. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) told CNN on Sunday.
“I think Senate Democrats should sit down and take a look and decide whether or not Chuck Schumer is the one who is currently leading.”
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has warned of 'catastrophic consequences' for the cuts, unleashed a destructive post on Bluesky and wrote:' Senate democrats have destroyed their chances of future cooperation with the house by their fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next. '
Around the table on MSNBC table, Alicia Menendez revealed how some Democrats privately propose Ocasio-Cortez to walk against Schumer in a primary.
“Everyone can make him primarily. Everyone, 'Sanders Townsend, her frustration clearly explained.
Huisdemocratic leader Hakeem Jeffries tried to calm temperatures and said: 'Our party is not a cult, we are a coalition. On occasion we can disagree very much about a certain way of acting. '
Outside Schumer's Washington office, young activists from the sunrise movement gathered with banners who demand 'no longer cowardice – step up or step aside.'
Other progressive groups such as the Center for Biological Diversity accused Democrats of “handing over Musk and Trump free rein to destroy our environmental organizations and undertake the civil service.”
Trump himself gloated over the chaos and posts on Friday at his truth social: 'Congratulations to Chuck Schumer for doing the right one. It cost 'guts' and courage,' the president wrote.
With Progressives that Ziedende, disillusioned and encouraged Trump, the statement of Sanders Townsend could be the canary in the coal mine and a warning that the Democratic Party is about to be an internal uprising.
Schumer may soon be confronted with the brightest struggle of his career, not from Republicans, but from his own ranks.
“No more paper napkins,” a demonstrator shouted outside the Schumer home. “If you can't fight, step aside.”
