Steele knew he was on the way out - he just expedited the process. This is a deliberate ‘stepping in it’.
He could have found a SMARTER way to do it...his kind of stupid can't be fixed!
I don’t think it was deliberate. Steele is an AA hack, not qualified, and let slip the fact that he does not reason out what he says very well. Either that, or he is another mole that has co-opted a leadership position in the GOP.
The actual idea he expressed is a common democrat/leftist/defeatist talking point. Nothing the man does benefits the GOP, just as nothing Obama does benefits the USA.
Steele is worse than useless.
Makes sense to me, although I don't think he's got the intelligence to think of it himself - more likely it came from whoever offers him a job post-November, especially if the Democrats retain the House and Senate.
“Steele knew he was on the way out - he just expedited the process. This is a deliberate ‘stepping in it’.”
I have been thinking the same thing.
But, I am also thinking that the RNC convinced him to make such an “error” to allow Steele to be removed without the Dims being able to allege that he was removed because he was a Black man and to “prove” that the RNC is racist, since the libs and Dims look at Steele as an Uncle Tom.
