(CNN)Former chairman of the Republican National Committee Michael Steele is joining the Lincoln Project, a group of Republicans working to prevent President Donald Trump's re-election.
"Today is the day where things should matter and you need to take stock of what matters to you -- and the kind of leader you want to lead in these moments. And for me, it ain't him," Steele, a political analyst for MSNBC said making the announcement to host Nicole Wallace on Monday afternoon.
Steele was the first African American to be elected to statewide office in Maryland, serving as lieutenant governor from 2003 to 2007. He was also the first African American to serve as chairman of the RNC.
"I get my role as a former national chairman. I get it, but I'm an American. I get my role as a former party leader. I'm still an American," Steele told Wallace, adding, "And these things matter to me more than aligning myself with a party that has clearly decided it would rather be sycophantic than principled."

Then ran as Senator of Maryland and lost to a Dem.
Then got a job on MSNBC to talk about how Dems are right on everything.
Shocking. Not.
Another pos failure.
John Wilkes Booth Project
They are pulling out all of the big guns.
What’s with all these Republicans bending over backwards to show that they are anti Trump?
Do they really think that the talking heads on MSNBC are now going to respect them? Do they really think the Democratic party is going to have a great respect for them?
I never want to view things that way but he was an absolute disaster as RNC chairman I mean honestly he sucked really really bad
LOL, waiting for word from Joe Scarborough
I assume this group is named for Benjamin Lincoln, the general who surrendered Charleston to the British during the Revolutionary War.
Trump flushes em out like a covey of quail....LOL
Amazing how easy it must be for them to be traitors and how it takes character to refuse to go down that path.
He was an affirmative action pick just like Colon Powell.
And this is why no matter how hard the grassroots fought, the leadership kept failing to secure political victories.
Imagine what the Republicans could have achieved with real fighters.
As Donald Trump continues to drain the swamp, the swamp rats are being exposed.
And in 2024, I’ll be getting texts from Michael Steele saying, “We need your help, friend, to keep our Republican majority!”
An endangered Black RINO.
If they can help Dems defeat Trump and Republicans then afterward they will tell us that they were right and we were wrong, and our only hope from Pelosi and AOC is to elect them again.
He was never more than a milk-toast Republican. God riddance.
The leadership of the repubs has pretty much always been career uniparty.
Why they dislike Trump so much
Not career
Actually gets shiite done
Calls people out
Gets rid of many of those not doing what they ought to be
Speaks blunt and plainly, Not a lawyer like most career pols
Yeah, Steele was an Obama suck from the first. It all came out after he threw his run in Maryland. Couldn’t talk enough jive with the bro. Hope he used a condom.
