Former RNC Chair Responds to Comment that We Was Only Elected 'Because He's a Black Guy' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Washington (CNN)Michael Steele shot back Saturday at a Conservative Political Action Conference official for a racial comment he made about the former Republican National Committee chairman at a dinner Friday night.

At the Ronald Reagan dinner, CPAC communications director Ian Walters said Steele was elected RNC chair "because he's a black guy."
"We were somewhat lost as a group, we had just elected the first African-American president, and that was a big deal and that was a hill that we got over and it was something that we were all proud of and we weren't sure what to do, and in a little bit of cynicism what did we do? This is a terrible thing. We elected Mike Steele to be the RNC chair because he's a black guy, that was the wrong thing to do," Walters said.
Steele told MSNBC on Friday that Walters called him and tried to apologize, but he rejected the apology.

The GOP is 90% white and fly the Confederate Flag. Everyone knew what they were doing except Steele? How likely is that?
This was just a chance for Steele to distance himself from a party that has become overtly racist and that sees him as the house n..........

And suddenly he's "outraged"?

Come on Mikey, you are talking to the big boys. We know what time it is.

I may have been born at night, but it wasn't last night.

Of course RNC has a cultural agenda. Steele knew this and it bit him in the ass maybe just a little bit.

Michael Steele used to be a major NaziCon asshole - but he "seems" to have mellowed since being a regular on MSNBC. Anyway, I heard him talking last night about how the OP made him feel.

Mike did give his take about arming teachers in the classroom. He's against Filthy Don's NRA stance. So there's that.

Given the preponderance of the evidence due to your fool-fueled rants, I beg to differ.
