NextImg:‘They’re Not At The Gate Anymore’: Michael Steele Issues Most Chilling Trump Warning
LOADINGERROR LOADING

Both sides of the aisle drew fierce condemnation from former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele — who accused both the GOP and Democrats of failing to stand up to Donald Trump’s second administration.

On MSNBC’s “The Weekend,” Steele’s co-host Symone Sanders-Townsend asked him, “What would you have us do?

“I would like you to show that you give a damn,” Steele replied to his colleague, a one-time advisor to former Vice President Kamala Harris.

“That you got a little emotion about the fact that people are losing their jobs indiscriminately,” he continued.

Trump has given “absolute power” to billionaire Elon Musk, whose unofficial Department of Government Efficient is slashing public spending and attempting to cull the positions of thousands of federal workers, noted Steele.

“So, I’d just like to see somebody wake the hell up and get excited about the fact that your country is under assault,” he added. “They’re not at the gate anymore, they’re in your bedrooms, they’re in your living rooms, they’re in your businesses, they got your data, dumbass, they got all your stuff.”

Co-host Alicia Menendez suggested Republicans are equally to blame.

“The hell with Republicans,” said Steele. “They’re not going to do anything, they’re the problem.”

Elsewhere on this weekend’s broadcast of Steele’s show, the co-host accused Trump and his MAGA allies of trying to destroy U.S. democracy and the Constitution via what he called the “fake agency” of DOGE.
