Michael Steele
@MichaelSteele

I'm sure Mitch is aware that a grown ass black man who happens to be a former president has agency to speak his mind on how his successor is managing this crisis, especially since his successor has yet to keep "his mouth shut" about him.

And "classless"?

[Aviation91]

1. What He Said!

Well said... Thank you Michael Steele!!

[fwvinson]

52. I am one of those people here in Kentucky that want to see Mitch hang by the neck till dead. I am a

minority in this area, as far as thinking Mitch is evil. In my opinion, people here are not paying attention.

[Laelth]

2. Hear! Hear! k&r n/t

[Ferrets are Cool]

3. Thank you Michael Steele

[still_one]

4. It is time for Steele to become a Democrat. For an African American to be part of a party that has

demonstrated overt racism, is embarrassing

[Alacritous Crier]

18. Amen.

[IronLionZion]

33. He's conservative on other issues

It's better if these folks stay Republican but speak out against this stuff. It gives them more credibility with other black Republicans.

Otherwise they would influence our party to become more conservative to pander to them.

[Vdizzle]

35. THIS!

Exactly what IronLionZion just said!

[CaptYossarian]

47. If you mean a fiscal conservative,

the Democratic Party is more financially responsible by miles. Every GOP president has a recession, ends their term with record-setting deficits, and unemployment figures are abysmal. The stock market means very little to macroeconomics, compared with those other factors.

If the Dems need to raise taxes, it's to cover the spending of the "drunken sailor" party.

[IronLionZion]

50. Rejects climate change, pro-life, border control, supported Iraq war, war on terror

low taxes, pro-business, opposes many social programs, opposed most of Obama's and Pelosi's reforms

It's great that he's openly critical of Trump/McConnell and speaks out against racism. People like him should fix what's wrong with the Republican party.

[CaptYossarian]

51. So he's a Bob Dole-era Republican.

Okay, thanks.

[BamaRefugee]

5. Michael Steele, black enabler. He can keep HIS mouth shut, or become a Democrat.

[Salviati]

7. I don't want him as a democrat

I welcome him tearing into the republican party, but we don't need him telling us how to do our own business.

[hlthe2b]

6. Jaundiced eye toward all the Never Trumpers remains, but Steele is one of the best...

Rick Wilson, George Conway, Steve Schmidt and others... Proceed please!

[maddiemom]

20. I've actually come to appreciate these guys under PRESENT circumstances...and...

(Wait for It!)...even the previously despicable Bill Kristol. He was the Most Punchable Pundit ever to opine until Trump's reign prodded him into making a little sense.

[wnylib]

40. My view of these folks is more cynical.

Opposing Trump makes them look like "good guys." They have known from the start that his worthless populism can't last long. They are looking out for themselves and not defending democracy or good governance. They are not even salvaging true consevatism.

The Republican party is not worth salvaging or cleaning up. It is far too tainted with a traitorous scum majority that enables and embraces Trumpist fascism.

[maddiemom]

42. Well, yeah. I can't disagree...

under PRESENT circumstances, though, they're kinda FUN to listen to...

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

43. No, these people are actual conservatives

Conservatism, while I don't agree with it, is a respectable ideology. The Republican Party has abandoned classical libertarianism (which, despite libertarian blathering, is not libertarianism) in favor of what Mussolini termed "the corporate state".

[CaptYossarian]

48. Killer Kristol was the leading voice who stopped First Lady Hillary Clinton's

efforts to get all Americans health insurance in the 1990s.

He killed more Americans than Al Qaeda and ISIS could ever dream about--without blowing up anything.

He is still punchable, even with a sanitizer shortage.

[rurallib]

26. I am right with you on that

[KS Toronado]

27. We should be thankful for the Republican never-trumpers because.....

unlike dumpies base they know right from wrong & are willing to put country before party even at the risk of their own livelihoods. Plus they are helping Biden get elected.

[flibbitygiblets]

8. Let's have a conversation about who lets others speak about class

[SpankMe]

9. Hypocrisy very much, Mitch? b/t

[liberalla]

10. K & R

[rickyhall]

11. The Turtle is a racist Russian/Chinese stooge. Pass it on.

[PatSeg]

12. And Obama's criticism was in a private conversatin,

whereas Trump criticizes Obama publicly every chance he gets.

And this from the man who told colleagues they were going to make sure Obama was a one term president by blocking everything he tried to do.

[Scarsdale]

19. Exactly. IF the gop had

worked with, instead of against, President Obama, their party might be in a much better position today. Moscow Mitch thinks "classy" is talking about grabbing women by their private parts, classy is a first "lady" with nude photographs available worldwide, classy is colluding with Russians, and Chinese drug runners? How "classy" is the entire first family? The tRump family of grifters, thieves and dumbasses. CLASSY? Hey, Moscow Mitch here is what "classy" would be - convincing YOUR disaster of a leader to resign. You should retire, your have made millions from doing the bidding of wealthy donors, including Russians. After all the damage YOU have done to this country, why don't you donate a few of your ill-gotten millions to help the needy, hungry people that depend on you as a "representative"?

[PatSeg]

23. McConnell needs to have a Goldwater moment

but obviously that will never happen. Like Trump, everything is about him and how government service can enrich him. In many ways, I think Mitch is worse than Trump. Trump is really stupid and childlike, but Mitch should know better.

How much money is enough for these vultures? There is a reason why "You can't take it with you" is a well worn cliche, but it still goes over the heads of many.

[lastlib]

29. Lacking that, he needs to have a "get the shit beaten out of him" moment......

A close encounter with dimensional lumber might re-direct his thought processes, such as they are.

[druidity33]

41. Yeah, but...

it didn't seem to make Rand Paul any less of an asshole.

[lastlib]

45. point taken!

A 2-by-8 over the cranial cavity may not make MoscowMitch more of a human being, but it would be EVER so gratifying in its own way.....

[BlueJac]

13. Fuck Moscow Mitch!

[lunatica]

14. You're face is melting Mitch

Pinocchio’s nose grew. Your face melts.

[lastlib]

46. There is more than a passing resemblance to this guy--

May Mitch follow in his footsteps as he always has.

[Nitram]

15. "McConnell (Racist-KY)" This!

[Cha]

16. lol.. ".. has Yet to Keep his mouth SHUT About him.."!!

TY!

[ananda]

17. So fucking what.

Steele is a Reep.

No excuse.

Too little too late.

[GETPLANING]

21. Projection is the first characteristic of conservatism...

Hypocrisy is the second.

[roamer65]

22. Why is it when I see Moscow Mitch's face, I think of a punching bag?

I wonder.

[Hstch05]

30. I tend to see..

Toht, the bad Nazi from Raiders of the Lost Ark who got his face melted off, in mid-face melt.
At least according to Trump, he'd be a very fine person.

[judesedit]

24. Thank you, Michael. Must be woke. Keep it coming, please

[Evolve Dammit]

25. They are racist. Period. Even Biden's gaffe about Obama being "very clean." It is part of US.

[OverBurn]

28. I Have Never Hated Anyone More Than Trump and McConnell, Not Even Close.

[noneof_theabove]

31. not only does Moscowmitch

look like a turtle
the old adage how did the turtle get on the fence post.
Since it did not crawl up there, someone had to put him there.

he is the keystone to this mess.
knock any keystone out of the building and the whole thing will collapse.

[crickets]

32. Any person who supports Donald Trump...

@JBethSlater

Replying to @MichaelSteele
Any person who supports Donald Trump never gets to call someone else classless.

[zentrum]

34. It was a PRIVATE conversation.

A leaked PRIVATE conversation.

But Obama should never speak, I guess. Or think.

Every day the Trump cabal disgusts in a new way.

[47of74]

36. I am so fucking sick of Mitch and all the other Kluxers in Congress

He's a fucking Nazi and Kluxer.

There I fucking said it.

It was either do that or have an aneurysm trying to keep it bottled up.

[PatrickforO]

37. McConnell is a traitor. This new bit about him insisting that

the new stimulus remove liability for employers who force their people back too early is just another instance of corporate socialism. Corporations get the profits but the risk is all passed onto us.

As to his comments about Obama, well maybe they will galvanize voters in KY and Moscow Mitch will be out in the parking lot with a pink slip.

[misanthrope]

38. Moscow Mitch remembers a time when an "uppity" feller like Obama (wink, wink) "knew his place"

The good ol' days for guys like Mitch.

[smirkymonkey]

39. Hear, hear!

[Collimator]

44. This specific quote from McConnell

isn't worth the energy-drain that results from outrage.

“I think President Obama should have kept his mouth shut,” McConnell said in the interview.

“You know, we know he doesn’t like much this administration is doing. That’s understandable, but I think it’s a little bit classless, frankly, to critique an administration that comes after you.”

Loud, persistent laughter is the only worthwhile response. Can anyone really be so unaware?

[yellowcanine]

49. Mitch "make Obama a one term POTUS" talks "class"?

Just sayin'

[Rabrrrrrr]

53. Anyone who supports trump who complains about the "classlessness" of anyone else is an asshole.

That's all there is to it.

You got no legs to stand on, dickweed, because the guy you support is the most classless dimwit turd of a human being on the planet.

Clean up your own house first, shitstain.

[wryter2000]

54. My guess is

Steele supported McConnell when Steele was head of the RNC.

[demigoddess]

55. Michael Steele let us McConnell have it????

no, Michael Steele lets McConnell have it!!!

let's is a contraction of let us. Lets is a verb, similar to gets.

[StarfishSaver]

56. LOL! Thanks!
