From Fox News: MSNBC’s “The Weekend” unloaded on Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on Saturday over his support for the bill that keeps the government open and avoids a shutdown — calling the move a stain and a “black mark” on his leadership.
MSNBC host Michael Steele asked his panel, “What are Republicans thinking right now about their ability to absolutely punk Schumer into making this move the way he did, when he knew that that’s not where his party was?”
Schumer supported the bill on Friday despite his numerous disagreements with the House-passed stopgap spending bill, arguing that a government shutdown would be a “gift” to President Donald Trump.
“I’m pissed,” MSNBC host Symone Sanders Townsend said, referring to the contents of the spending bill. “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.”
Still blasting Democrats for allowing Republicans to pass the government funding bill, Townsend raged, “There’s not another option for Senate Democrats or House Democrats to effectively push back. This was it. They blew it! The Democratic Tea Party was born the same day that Chuck Schumer took to that podium to read that very well-crafted statement that told us he folded like a paper napkin!”
MSNBC’s Alicia Menendez noted that several Democrats were pushing Democrat socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) to run against Schumer for his senate seat.
“Anyone can primary him! Anyone,” Townsend snapped.
