Michael Steele has been vocal in his reservations about Trump

This week, former chair of the Republican National Committee Michael Steele has made it clear that he would have no problem with vocal Trump supporters leaving the GOP altogether to organize an entirely new political party.

“You’ve got the national [Republican] leadership making their way down to Mar-a-Lago [Trump’s residence in Florida] to confer with Trump,” Steele pointed out Monday morning during a segment on MSNBC. The former GOP leader praised Republican Representatives Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois for taking a stand against the former president’s movement.

Trump allowed dems to make 2020 about race and that is why we lost

Gimme a break. Dems and their butt boys in the press worked 24/7 to make the election about race. It's the biggest commie card in their deck.

The good news is the commie left is a mile wide and an inch deep... lots of organized illusions to make it look bigger than it is... What the Chinese would call a paper tiger. We can win this one..

I say we keep the party and throw those bastards out.

It’s OUR party now.

We defeated them in a rout, now they suggest we should leave and form our own party. That’s like Germany dictating the terms of Allied surrender in 1945.

Ludicrous.

The GOPe is laughing at you. They own the primaries and know you would never stay home or vote out a RINO by voting Dem in the general. Where you going to go?

“Former Black RNC Chair”

???

Does Steele now self-identify as “White”, “Brown”...”Rainbow”?

Try “Black Former RNC Chair”

What an arrogant putz.
Maybe he can go out the door if he disrespects a President that had a 95% approval rating in the GOP.

Not in WI, PA or MI

The states that mattered

The Unions made a giant push to get members to vote Biden over Trump because of the “tax cuts for the rich” and no infrastructure projects.

That killed Trump where it mattered

Just letting you know

Actually he did in WI, PA and MI

He lost a lot of support among blue collar workers, well enough to tip the scale in Biden’s favor

Steel hasn’t voted Republican in decades... he was probably lying about being conservative when he was given the RNC chair... NOTHING about him says conservative.

Jussie Smollett was attacked by two white guys wearing MAGA hats too - at 3 A.M on the SouthSide of Chicago in the heart of the black community... That’s as believeable as Michael Steel being a conservative.

You’d have to be a fool... and yet the bimbos and pretentious “men” of MSNBC believed. I think Michael Steel was one who ‘believed’ Smollett... doesn’t get more stupid than that.

He not only got more votes in those states than 2016, he got a larger percentage of the vote in all of them than in 2016. If he "lost" support - how did that happen?

He ran the RNC into the ground - left it in shambles and broke.

He also is a member of the now disgraced Lincoln Project.

Steele is not the entire Republican party. Far, far more Republicans subscribe to the Trump philosophy than to the Steele philosophy. Therefore, Steele is the minority in thought and deed.

If anyone should know where that exit door is, it should be Steele.
