'What’s happened, manifested at CPAC, is a new form of idolatry,' former RNC Chair Michael Steele said.
Former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele said on Monday that folks in the GOP essentially worship at the feet of President Donald Trump.
Steele agreed that he didn't quite get why Republicans were falling in line with Trump and even brought up the president's defense of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un in regard to the death of an American citizen, 22-year-old Otto Warmbier."You're right. You'd think that's not where we want to be. But I would submit to you that we're exactly where we want to be...
“So this is the new space, this is the new party,” he said on MSNBC. “In terms of where we go from here, well, we have to look at each other, look at our neighbor, look at ourselves in the mirror and go: ‘Is this us?’ Are we now this America, where these things are less important to us and are less regarded because we love that guy in the White House so much?”
Steele is far from the first high-profile Republican to question the future of the party in the Trump era.
