Former RNC chairman Michael Steele is the kind of Republican that MSNBC loves. He is more than willing to repeat the latest liberal talking points about President Trump.

No, consider it a learning experience. He was a phony since he first got into politics.
This incompetent boob was FIRED BY RINOs.
Never forget that.
I thought was only for grrrrrreta and other climageddonists.
Dipschiff comes to mind.
What the heck...all street corner ranters should be eligible.
Go big or go home.
:D
He’s way wrong on this one. The Senate has the power. They can shrug and walk away and ignore her.
I know Trump doesn’t want that, but Pelosi needs to be put in her place.
Wow hard to imagine how anyone could be this stupid.
Demcorats are turning this into a Partisan crap show. Exactly the sort of DC Swamp behavior the US people elected DJT to fight.
The Democrat Fascist clown party is even starting to lose their own political base voters on this in all the current polling
It hard to imagine how Nancy could screw this up worse but the GOP thanks you for doing your best to help them fail Steele
Can I take both?
Mikey Steele is a NeoCon.
Michael Steele wasn’t a douche while Lt. Gov. of Maryland. Perhaps Gov. Bob Ehrlich held him in check. Once free of that do nothing job, he quickly ran for the swamp.
This guy proves his colors again and again...
What a waste of time this guy was.
At one time I had high hopes for him. He took care of that.
There's one card she doesn't have...the trump card (pun intended).
And to think I used to like him. He sure has changed!
He was a Demorat for years before he switched.
This maryland nitwit, steele, was a nitwi back in maryland and is a nitwit now. What an unmitigated oaf.
I believe the facts bear you out to be correct.
So he rolls where he thinks he can flow?
