'You do it first': Trump put on the spot to take drug test before debate with Biden
Reacting to Donald Trump's attack on President Joe Biden on Friday night, where the former president suggested the man who beat him in 2020 should have to undergo a drug test, former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele invited Trump to take the lead and go first.
On Saturday morning's edition of MSNBC's "The Weekend," co-host Steele lambasted Trump for creating a needless distraction before the first 2024 presidential debate.
With co-host Alicia Menendez joking about Trump's repeated nodding off during his hush money trial, "The only drug test he seems to be taking is a sleep aid," Steele interjected, "Why do we continue to follow this foolishness this way and take any of it seriously because it isn't?"

"It is all distractive noise leading to nothing," he lectured. "This race is about the competency of both of these men to run this country — one wants to be a dictator, folks."
"Get that through your skulls that this man is a dangerous threat and he is telling you such and so, you know, don't get sidewinded by, 'Oh, Joe Biden needs to take a drug test,'" he continued. "Well, you know what? You do it first. You take the test first and let's have an independent test-taker because we think you will be lying. "
