Reacting to a clip of Donald Trump regaling a Pennsylvania crowd with a story about legendary golfer Arnold Palmer's genitalia to kick off a rally on Saturday, a fuming Michael Steele expressed his disgust with not only the former president but also the rally attendees who were eating up his vulgar tale.
On MSNBC's "The Weekend" the entire panel looked on in dismay as the clip ran and it was co-host and former RNC chair Michael Steele who put into words what they all seemed to be thinking.
Momentarily at a loss for words, he finally admitted, "I'm actually stunned that this is what our country is doing right now."

He then continued, "You have the Republican nominee for the presidency of the United States standing on stage at a rally, not talking about the economy, not talking about creating jobs for the next generation, not talking about providing health care or even dealing with the intractable issues around climate. No – talking about a man's genitalia."
"But this is the part that is the most disturbing," he elaborated. "The people behind him who are laughing and yucking it up and thinking that is good political discourse and that is what the next president of the United States should spend his time talking about."
"They weren't offended, they were amused," he accused. "And that's the rub with Donald Trump. It's all about the amusements, all about the entertainment and yucking it up and dumbing you down enough to be stupid enough to buy into these narratives about other people, about our country, and about another man's genitalia."
