Former GOP chairman calls Trump supporters 'pathetic' and 'sycophants'

Former GOP chairman Michael Steele characterized supporters of President Trump as "pathetic" and "sycophants" during a panel discussion on MSNBC over the weekend.

Jonathan Capehart, the fill-in host of Saturday's AM Joy, first showed a clip of American Conservative Union Chairman Matt Schlapp in which CNN's Alisyn Camerota cut off his defense of the president amid impeachment and pushed back on his claims. He then asked Steele, now a political analyst for MSNBC and a Trump critic, if he is surprised that conservatives are sticking by the president.

"Are you surprised, given all your years in the Republican Party and all the values and things that it stood for and stands for in your mind, that these people are siding, despite all the facts that we know that have been released by the president, that they’re still sticking by him?" Jonathan Capehart asked.

It's no longer the Bush league Republican party. We are finally taking heed of the warnings and know that the likes of Obama and Clinton weaken us at home and globally.

Steele is not a true conservative Republican. He is a Trump hater and a want to be Republican. HE is mad because Marylanders knew what he was and never voted him in as Governor. Since then he has done nothing but criticize Republicans.

Another black who cheated and demanded every opportunity given to him. Now it's ALL over. So he's going to coddle with the Democrats. Too bad NOBODY is listening to him

I had forgotten about Steele.Whenever someone you used to see daily,(like the Fox News anchors who quit or were fired over the sexual allegations)suddenly reappear on the scene,lack of money is often the driving factor.I thought about that when Larry Holmes came out of retirement to fight Mike Tyson and got pummeled.Maybe it's the lack of attention? Those people can't live within their means.I hope Gretchen hasn't gone through 20 million already.

I am neither pathetic or trying to take advantage of our President. I just know coming out of Marylands Rino Michael Steele that he is the one that is pathetic if he thinks for one moment what the Democrats are doing then he needs a mental evaluation. Sorry but this pathetic Republican sees you for what you are.

Steele was never a Republican. He simply uses the party that fits his needs at the time. Hr wouldn't even make a good RINO!

Didn’t Micheal Steele get fired from the GOP because of embezzlement charges or something of that nature? Yeah. He’s got oodles of room to talk. Steele is an idiot bc if he thinks he’s part of the establishment, he’s sorely mistaken.

So as a Republican who does not support Trump is being called human scum worse than being a deplorable ?
