MS NOW host loses it on air: ‘I’m yelling because this is insane!’

MS NOW host Symone Sanders had a meltdown over ICE and demanded answers from a Democrat guest.

The Tuesday airing of The Weeknight saw sparks flying as Sanders flipped out over tactics reportedly used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. She even turned to Democratic Rep.Delia Ramirez of Illinois in the midst of her screaming and demanded to know what the party was going to do about all of it.

Watch:

“If agents in the FBI were walking around this country, indiscriminately shooting Americans, snatching them up in the name of what they were supposed to be doing in terms of law enforcement, I would hope that Congress would say, ‘Hey, [FBI Director] Kash Patel, what’s going on?’” the host explained. “And if Kash Patel could not rein in what was going on in his organization, I would hope everyone would say ‘Ah, well, okay [Attorney General] Pam [Bondi], what are you gonna do?'”

“In the event that Pam Bondi couldn’t get it done, Congress, because they have the power of the purse, okay, would say ‘Okay, well, it seems as though that you are either unwilling or unable to rein in this organization within your agency, so because of that, we as Congress, we’re just not gonna fund them until further notice. And we’re going to take back the money that we have appropriated until we decide y’all are ready to be funded,'” she continued. “To me, Americans are being stashed up in the streets! People, children are being detained like — I want the people to be in my email tonight to ask me why am I yelling?! I’m yelling because this is insane!”

“So what the hell are Democrats doing? I’m very glad the hearing happened today. The hearing only happened because of Democrats, but this is not a training issue. The agency has a problem and [Department of Homeland Security] Secretary Noem seems unable to address the issue, so Congress has to address this.”

“That’s exactly right. And look, I have said since April, I was the very first member of Congress to call for her resignation. I don’t care if she resigns, if Trump fires her, or she’s impeached. We need further accountability after she’s impeached, by the way,” Ramirez replied. “But the point is, you can get rid of her and, what, put Tom Homan? The corrupt leader, the border czar, who’s taking thousands of dollars in bribes? It’s not going to change if you just start swapping people. The system itself is rotten, and the American people are yelling and asking Congress, what the hell are you going to do to keep me alive in this precise moment? They’re shackling black and brown bodies around the country, and instead of putting a stop, you’re going to minimize our pain to say, well, if we do a little bit more training, but we’ll still give them more money. How do you possibly sleep at night knowing that your own constituents are living in fear?”
