'Prickly': MSNBC panel shoots down 'thin-skinned' Marianne Williamson's DNC chair bid
Raw StoryReacting to an announcement by Marianne Williamson that she now wants to run the Democratic National Committee after a failed run for Congress and two attempts to be the party's presidential nominee, not one panelist on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" gave her a chance of success. After Christmas, the author and speaker announced her intention to run for the leadership spot, saying in a video posted online, "I feel that I can bring a level of expertise to the process of lifting up this possibility of victory over the next two and four years in a way that will not occur if we are only looking traditional means of politicking in order to make that happen.” After watching a clip of her announcement, MSNBC host Symone Sanders Townsend expressed skepticism and asked, "I was wondering, who keeps telling Marianne Williamson to run for all these different positions. I don't think Marianne Williamson is going to have the answers that most of the party members want, but I'm curious to see how they treat her candidacy." She's pretty prickly about it –– I don't think that's what the DNC chair needs to be right now."
