MSNBC host Symone D. Sanders-Townsend has lashed out at President Donald Trump for targeting the “only Black woman” serving on the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors.
Sanders-Townsend, co-host of The Weeknight, told the network’s Morning Joe on Tuesday that it is no coincidence that Trump has tried to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, the first black woman on the board.
“It is not lost on me that the person Donald Trump decided to single out was Lisa Cook, who is the only Black woman serving on the board of governors who won her who earned her seat after a very bruising confirmation battle,” Sanders-Townsend said. “If there were issues, I’m surprised they didn’t come up when she was being confirmed.”
