Ex-RNC Chair Spots Most 'Ironic Moment In Political History' At Democratic Convention
HuffPost
Michael Steele, an outspoken Trump critic, was blown away by the irony of what happened during Hillary Clinton's speech.
The audience chanted “Lock him up” during Hillary Clinton’s Democratic National Convention speech in what Michael Steele called “probably the most rich, ironic moment in political history.”
“You can see it on her face at one point, she was just kind of like, getting in the groove of it. And I don’t blame her,” the former Republican National Committee chair said on MSNBC Monday night.
“She’s always been the bogeyman for a lot of Republicans for a long time,” he continued. “But this whole idea of locking her up because of crimes she never committed and wrongdoing that she was never involved with, and to have someone who’s now sitting there running for president with 34 convictions — yeah, it’s a little bit ironic to have that moment unfold.”
Former President Donald Trump, who made “Lock her up” a rallying cry of his 2016 campaign against Clinton, was found guilty in May on 34 counts of falsifying business records. His sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 18. The Republican nominee also faces dozens of other felony charges in other cases.
