Knewz.com is reporting that MSNBC host Symone Sanders-Townsend recently expressed her outrage with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Sanders-Townsend stated, “I’m going to change my registration to independent.” Schumer recently supported a Republican-crafted government funding bill that passed 54-46, leading to heavy criticism from various party factions.

Sanders-Townsend said, “There’s actually little that the senate minority leader can say and the ten Democrats that voted with the Republicans can say to appease somebody like me.”

Sanders-Townsend added, “They blew it.” She then noted, “The Democratic Tea Party was born the same day Chuck Schumer took to that podium to read that very well crafted statement that told us he folded like a paper napkin.”

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) condemned the choice between a government shutdown and support of the bill. Numerous Democrats have criticized Schumer for wasting an opportunity to use the shutdown threat for better leverage.
