Gibbs tried to make a mountain out of a molehill statement. Do racial issues give Steele difficulties? Yes. Are they more than minute difficulties? (The question left unasked.) No.
Oh rubbish!
Steele had already made a mountain out of a molehill. His whine about “racism “ being the reason he was criticised for spending $2000 of donors money on sex clubs, was already all over the news, long before Gibbs said anything about it.
“Do racial issues give Steele difficulties? Yes”
On what planet is that?
Give me just one example where Steele had had “racial difficulties” at the RNC will you?
Is this the same Michael Steele that sacked a big chunk of the mostly white RNC staff when he took over, then spent $18,000 redecorating his office(at a time of deep recession) because it was “to masculine for him”?
