Vanity Fair is used to plant disinformation.

Maybe A-O-C could offer to protect him from any bad men who might be after him, and he could un-cancel.

Brit “former” Spook Reds don’t know much about “Democracy”.

Especially in the US.

In a rare public comment last year, Steele told Vanity Fair in a statement that "we all still have a duty" to "speak truth to power."

What a trite phrase. Steele is an even bigger dunderhead than I imagined.

The term democracy is code for cummunism.

According to Michel Foucault writing in 1983, only the courageous may pursue the truth-to-power course; they risk losing their friends, (as Winston Churchill did in the 1930s[5]) their liberty, even their lives (Liu Xiaobo[6]).[7]

Maybe they could ask Julian Assange to fill in?

“”Cummunism looks good on paper, but has never worked in reality; it is simply not in humans’ nature to equitably distribute semen amongst the various classes of society, and the Tragedy of the Cummons poses a significant obstacle to any society that hopes to implement it effectively.””

He backed out “on the advice of counsel,” meaning his lawyers told him he’d be crazy to go out and make blatantly false statements in a public forum.

Democracy is what got Hugo Chavez elected and entrenched in Venezuela...the US is a representative republic and it has worked pretty well for +200 years...

It means tell the politicians what you believe. Steele’s a Brit though. Not sure why he thinks he should have input in the US.

Or his lawyers told him he’d be crazy to set foot on US soil because he’d be subpoenaed and have his passport yanked.

If he feels he has done nothing wrong, what does he fear?
A lot.

I think Steele is bad news, too, but he has survived one lawsuit here in USA:
