Ex-RNC chairman slams group for spending $100K on copies of Trump Jr. book: That's 'screwed up'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele on Friday blasted the organization for buying nearly $100,000 worth of copies of Donald Trump Jr.'s new book.

During an appearance on MSNBC, Steele pointed to the purchases of "Triggered" as an example of what he called "internal corruption" at the national party organization.

"Let me just tell you how screwed up this is," he said. "Before I became national chairman, I’d written a book on how the Republican Party can regroup after the 2008 shellacking, after the 2006 bang-up at the polls and move forward. And people looked at me and said, 'How dare you write a book and try to profit off the RNC?'"

"And these SOBs are just giving away $100,000 to the president's son? Are you kidding me?" he continued. "This is the kind of internal corruption that people complained about inside the RNC for a long time. ... There’s no surprise here."

3. Fake outrage from an RNC doosh

I wonder how long it took him to gin that up?

No problem locking kids up on the border.

No problem pulling out of climate accords.

Accepting of all the praise for Putin, while DFT alienates Gold Star families

Supportive of a president who lies so much that nobody in the press, or any foreign government trusts our POTUS.

Will have no problems with a president who holds up foreign aid for help with his reelection.

6. Steele

has been pretty vocal about the Republicans and how they've turned since this election. This isn't a one off criticism. He seems to be horrified by his party.

4. Like all the other right wing authors, supporters buy their books to propel them

to the top of the NY Times bestseller list. There is also some right wing book club that buys books at a huge discount and either sells them or gives them away for the same purpose. (Well the primary reason, second is having everyone read the stuff)
