MSNBC Host Criticizes Democrats Calling for Biden’s Resignation
In a recent episode of MSNBC’s The Weekend, co-host Symone Sanders-Townsend expressed her strong disapproval of the congressional Democrats who have publicly asked President Joe Biden to resign. She referred to these Democrats as “despicable” and “treacherous.” However, Sanders-Townsend appeared to disregard that Nancy Pelosi, a highly influential congressional Democrat, might be leading this group.
On Saturday’s edition of MSNBC’s The Weekend, co-host Symone Sanders-Townsend launched a scathing attack on congressional Democrats who have publicly called for Joe Biden to step aside, calling them “despicable” and “treacherous.”
Pelosi’s hidden efforts to push Biden out of the race are well-known. Reports suggest that she has privately expressed skepticism about Biden’s ability to secure victory and has even encouraged other Democrats to publicly ask him to step down. It seems rather contradictory that Sanders-Townsend criticizes these Democrats as “despicable” and “treacherous,” when they could simply be following Pelosi’s directives.
Considering Pelosi’s extensive political career in Washington, almost equal in length to Biden’s, it is plausible that many of the listed Democrats may have been influenced by her actions. Despite her evident involvement in this situation, Sanders-Townsend conveniently omitted Pelosi from her list of “despicable” Democrats.
However, Pelosi is not the only one working against Biden. As pointed out by co-host Michael Steele, a member of the disgraced Lincoln Project, there are others “eviscerating” Biden – including those who were his colleagues during the Biden-Obama years. While Steele did not directly mention Barack Obama, it was clear he was referring to the former president.

It’s not surprising that Obama might have doubts about Biden. After all, Obama dissuaded Biden from running in 2016 and 2020. Yet now we see Democrats like Sanders-Townsend criticizing Biden’s treatment and emphasizing the need for party unity, while seemingly ignoring that even his closest allies may be opposing him.
The irony lies in the fact that just hours after Sanders-Townsend’s fervent defense of Biden, reports emerged suggesting that Biden is still refusing to step down, despite increasing pressure from within his party.
Labeling other Democrats as “despicable” and “treacherous” seems counterproductive to unifying the party and rallying support behind Biden as we approach the Democratic convention next month. At this rate, it’s uncertain whether Biden will even make it to the end of his term.
If public opinion is any indication, Biden may be out of office by the end of the month.
