On Sunday morning, MSNBC's "The Weekend" co-host Michael Steele lambasted Donald Trump for his attack on Vice President Kamala Harris at a Saturday night rally where he called her a "horror show."
He also used his commentary to shame the press for once again giving the former president a pass when it comes to reporting on Trump's outrageous attacks.
Reading a transcript from the rally where the former president said of Harris, "I don't want even define her, I just want to say who she is, she's a horror show, she'll destroy our country," the former RNC chair launched into a rant.
"I'm curious how reporters cover this, because to be honest, y'all leave a whole lot of this on the table. Y'all justly too much on the table and you take what this man says as if, 'A' it's meaningful and 'B' it's important," he began. "But for that title, president, former president in front of his name, there's no way this iteration of Donald Trump would be a viable candidate for dog catcher, let alone president. "
"I just don't understand why we allow so much of what he says to seep into our culture and our politics as normal — that is not a normal quote from a human being running for president," he continued. 'He cannot string a competent coherent sentence together, talking about someone else who is his political opponent."
"And we, in the press, and the media and others, look at this as this sort of dogfight, this 'Who is ahead, who is behind' rat race, as opposed to what this actually says about how we have fallen as a country to allow that crap every day on our air," he concluded.
