Michael Steele Slams Trump, Mike Lee With Damning Questions About Minnesota Remarks
HuffPost
Steele, a former chair of the Republican National Committee, tore into the duo Tuesday for their “astounding” insensitivity following Saturday's shootings.
MSNBC host Michael Steele, a former chair of the Republican National Committee, excoriated President Donald Trump and Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) on Tuesday over their “astounding” insensitivity following the assassination of Minnesota Democratic state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband over the weekend.
“It just is astounding to me, the level of immaturity, insensitivity and lack of empathy between Senator Lee and, of course, President Trump, who said, ‘I don’t need to talk to … [Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz], he’s a mess,’” Steele said on “The Weeknight.”
“Who do these people represent?” he added. “Is this who we are in this country now?”
When reporters asked the president Tuesday if he had called Walz yet to discuss the incident, he said the Democrat is “slick” and “whacked out.” Trump, who vowed last year to be president “for all of America, not half of America,” then plainly refused.
“I’m not calling him,” he said aboard Air Force One.
