Former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele hilariously mocked House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan’s “weaponization” hearing held earlier this week, noting that the entire venture is turning out to prove exactly the opposite of what Jordan and his GOP allies in the House of Representatives had been hoping for.
Speaking with host Charles Blow on MSNBC Sunday morning, Steele was asked, “Michael, did Jordan’s performance during these hearings actually help Democrats prove their point, the only party weaponizing the government is the Republican Party?”
“Any time Jordan opens his mouth he proves that point,” Steele responded. “The reality is there’s no substance to any of this. This is just the dog and pony show, it’s like the worst you can come up with in the world where you can just make stuff up. So you’re trying to connect dots that do not exist. You’re grasping about little lines of this and a little line over here about something else, and none of it ever comes together.”
“So this idea of weaponization of the government is being done by the very people who are supposed to be investigating weaponization,” Steele continued. I guess by the Biden administration? Didn’t this all occur during Trump’s term in office? It was his Justice Department and FBI. It just kind of proves the point.”
“So, are you mad at Trump? Jordan, Jim, are you mad at Trump?” Steele concluded “Are you mad at Mr. [Bill] Barr? Who you mad at? What are you trying — where was the weaponization against Trump’s own people by Trump? Because that’s basically what we are looking at here.”
