Ex-RNC chairman Steele: Carter Page still talking to the media 'because he's stupid'
Former Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele on Tuesday said former Trump adviser Carter Page continues to do interviews with the media "because he's stupid" during a panel discussion on MSNBC.
The analysis from the network contributor comes after Page appeared on ABC's "Good Morning America" for an interview with co-host George Stephanopoulos.
To set up the discussion on Page, MSNBC anchor Hallie Jackson played back a clip from the ABC interview and asked for Steele's reaction.
“Carter Page was out again on TV and was talking about this whole thing. He was out on ‘Good Morning America.’ We’ll play a little bit of that discussion," Jackson said before cutting to the clip.
“These are your words: ‘I served as an informal adviser to the staff of the Kremlin.’ You’re advising the Kremlin," Stephanopoulos said in the clip.
“I would say a lot of people advise — we were part of an informal group," Page responded before the clip ends.
Jackson then asked Steele, “Why is Carter Page still talking?”
“Because he’s stupid," he replied. "He’s clearly not listening to any legal counsel.
