During an appearance on MSNBC on Thursday morning, Jennifer Palmieri focused on the re-emergence of Bruce Springsteen as a leader of a new "resistance" against Donald Trump that should be a model for critics of the president.
Speaking with the co-hosts of "Morning Joe," the former White House Director of Communications explained that the popular singer has made it clear that if you stand for anything, "You have to pick sides" and stick to it.
Palmieri's appearance was based on her column at The Bulwark where she noted that after Trump railed at the songwriter to "KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT" in a Truth Social post, Springsteen refused to back down.

On MSNBC she stated she recently saw him in concert, and "His critique of him [Trump] was particularly like, really hit home because it's presented as a patriotic defense of America, right? Bruce talks about in the America I love this is happening and I think that's partly why it struck a chord with the American people. "
"But what really moved me was when he said at the end of that litany of Trump being corrupt, incompetent and treasonous, is we will survive this, right?" she continued. "The way that Trump fails democracy, even as you acknowledge the way that our system of checks and balances has not held him accountable, to say, to affirm that America will survive, this is really buying into the exceptional nature of America."
