Not shockingly, Schlapp wasn't able to process the pain, the frustration, and the disappointment Steele expressed . For Schlapp, it was more essential to distort and belittle Steele, charging that he's critical of Trump's conservative agenda. Again, proving dissent is not welcomed if Trump is the target. Schlapp desperately wanted to create the scenario; it's not about your race, it's your criticism.
But again, Walters inserted Steele's race as criticism, not his verbal language against Trump as reason for contention. So sorry, Schlapp but common sense is wiser, and you cannot fool it into submission, and you cannot play with its intelligence.
As Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) pointed out, this is what Steele did for the Republican party in 2010:
" Control of the House with 63 House seats (biggest pickup since 1938)
" 6 Senate seats
" 7 governorships
" The greatest share of state leg. seats since 1928 (600+)."
Sen. Hatch also remarked, "No, we elected @MichaelSteele because of his vision for our party and his ability as a leader, which he proved immediately in the historically successful 2010 midterms. Any suggestion to the contrary is embarrassingly misinformed."
As a matter of fact, Steele campaigned for position as Republican National Committee chairman against four other contenders, and he won, handily.
But in the era of Trump, facts are obsolete. Bullying a man who dedicated forty-one-years as a proud disciple of conservatism leaves the legacy of McCarthyism satisfied, and what a shame. In fact, it's a national disgrace.
