No one made Steele talk to these reporters, or say what he said to them.
You are assuming that the DNC Activist Milibanks accurate reported what Steele said. Would not be the first type the Junk Media types knowing misquoted a Republican to stir up this sort of dissention in the Republican base. They did it to Santorum earlier this year. They did it to Mark Kennedy here in Minnesota. Why not try it out on Steele?
I really hope you're right, Johnnie. If Steele didn't say this, he should disavow it and tell us what he did said. A lie uncorrected becomes the truth.
