Do you have proof Steele was there?
I’m sure it was not Steele at the club but the RNC did pay out money to the club. Its on the FEC filing they make.
No, but it doesn't matter if he was there or not. Steele is RNC Chairman and the buck stops with him.
I'm not a prude, but this is unacceptable on so many levels.
Steele has seen quite a bit of controversy about spending and fund-raising. If he doesn't understand why courting controversy is wrong, he needs to go.
If Steele is out of the loop to the point that he's unaware of these things, he needs to go.
If Steele doesn't inspire a sense of loyalty in his underlings, to the point that he's keep in the dark about this sort of thing, he needs to go.
If the people working under him make these sorts of poor decisions, he needs to replace them or join them when they leave.
That this would become public is a no-brainer. If he's so disconnected that he just doesn't care, he needs to go.
The chairman's job is to provide cohesive leadership, to raise money, and to help other Republicans get elected. If Steele can't do these things, he needs to go.
