On Sunday's edition of The Weekend on MSNBC, weeknight host Chris Hayes questioned Trump's machismo for imposing higher tariffs on Canada and Mexico than on China. He's tougher on allies than on adversaries, because that's easier, less risky. He even claimed Trump has been "extremely generous to adversaries" like Russia and China. HAYES: He likes the conflict, he likes to project strength, but he's sort of a coward fundamentally. And the stakes of actual conflict and fights with adversaries is much higher. And so this is a way of kind of, a little bit of bullying, and cake and eat...

On the Saturday edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, co-host Michael Steele -- a former RNC chairman turned member of the disgraced Lincoln Project -- took the occasion of Kamala Harris's release of health records to mock Donald Trump. Steele slammed Trump for not releasing medical records, saying he has doctors lie about his weight when he's fat like "Wally the Walrus." He added: "The man is old as dirt. He's the oldest man to ever run for president."We certainly hope that Steele, who turns 66 one week from today, is not experiencing any short-term memory loss. He apparently forgot that...

Former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele, now a frequent critic of the party, said Sunday he thinks Vice President Harris will win the general election, flipping North Carolina and Florida in the process. “This coalition that’s being created right now by Kamala Harris and Tim Walz is not just one to watch, but it’s going to be one that the history books will study, when, I think, she takes this thing to victory,” Steele said in an interview on MSNBC’s “The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart.” “Florida and North Carolina will fall, along with Georgia,” Steele continued.

Former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele said in an interview late Thursday that former President Trump’s attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris are “incoherent.” “At a rally in North Carolina, Donald Trump showed in real time how the ground has shifted for Republicans, as he tried out some incoherent attacks on his new opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, including repeatedly mispronouncing her name and trying out a recycled insult or two,” Steele said while guest-hosting MSNBC’s “The ReidOut.” Steele highlighted a whirlwind week in politics after President Biden withdrew from the race and endorsed Harris. Since then, Harris’s campaign...

Former RNC Chair Michael Steele Demands Answers, Says, 'If Trump Was Shot with a High-Caliber Bullet, There Should Be Very Little Ear There,' Asks, 'Where is the Medical Report from the Hospital or Campaign?' Suggests a Cover-Up.

Former Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Michael Steele sharply criticized former President Trump’s inability to admit he lost the last presidential election and said he’s afraid of losing the upcoming one in November because it will hit the most important thing to him, his ego. “Donald Trump is afraid of losing, because it strikes at the core of the thing that’s most important to him, and that’s his ego, and he doesn’t want to do the work to actually win,” Steele said on MSNBC’s “The Weekend.” “He wants to goad and cajole and bully people into believing something about our...

Michael Steele, tell us what you really think. Steele, Chair of the Republican National Committee from 2009 to 2011 has made no secret of his disdain for Donald Trump and anybody who supports him, has become increasingly strident in his condemnations of Republicans. Former Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele warned his party against legitimizing some Trump-aligned figures as political leaders, calling them “fleas” and “blood-sucking ticks” whom potential House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., would have to “lay down with.”

How total is Michael Steele's transformation from RNC chairman to Democrat sycophant? On today's Morning Joe, Steele, an MSNBC analyst and member of the disgraced Lincoln Project, slurred Republican judicial appointees while expressing his preference for Democrat nominees. Steele was commenting on Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana telling Biden judicial nominee Dale Ho that he found him, based on his social media attacks on Republicans and conservatives, to be an "angry" man. Said Steele: "Did Senator Kennedy take a look at some of the nominations that Donald Trump put before? There were people he voted for who never appeared...
