Ex-RNC Chair Shares Sad Prediction About GOP And Trump's State Of The Union

MS NOW host Michael Steele made the prediction while discussing bombshell testimony from a former ICE instructor.

MS NOW host Michael Steele on Monday shared a rather damning prediction about the upcoming State of the Union address, foreseeing nothing but lies from President Donald Trump — and unbridled support from the Republican members of Congress.

Steele and his “Weeknight” co-hosts were discussing bombshell testimony from Ryan Schwank, a former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement instructor, who said Monday that ICE is “lying to Congress and the American people” about its training protocols.

“The president tomorrow is going to get up in the podium in the well of the Congress, and he’s going to lie directly to the American people,” Steele said. “And Republicans will sit there and applaud, like little seals, every lie that comes out of his mouth.”

He continued, “And so it does become incumbent … to ask the question, how do you frame the narrative, the takeaway narrative, for what the American people hear? You cannot allow the lies to set in any more than they already have. They just can’t.”

Steele was joined by Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), who co-hosted the congressional forum Monday for Schwank. The former ICE instructor testified that the agency’s training program is “deficient, defective and broken” — and “will get people killed.”
