Michael Steele expressed frustration with the Republican Party’s subservience to Donald Trump, suggesting that many Republicans have given up the struggle and are dealing with a fascist onslaught.
He noted that some GOP members still believe Trump may not be the party’s 2024 nominee or that he will lose in the general election, but Steele argued that these assumptions are wrong and that the idea of democracy has become foreign to many within the party.
MSNBC’s Joy Reid claimed that those on the right have “given up the struggle” and are “dealing with a fascist onslaught” in showing support.
“Is there yet inside the Republican Party any hint of a willingness to fight this, anywhere?” she questioned Steele.

“It is in quiet corners, and that’s part of my frustration and the frustration of a number of us who are trying to elevate the conversation inside the house,” Steele said.
“Because the call is coming from inside the house, right? The horror that you are afraid of is there behind you, in the closet down the hall, and it’s no longer in the closet, it’s actually kind of roaming the halls and taking out members as they find them in various chambers and organizations and so forth.”
“Everything about it is wrong.”
“The idea of democracy has become a foreign concept,” he pressed.
“It has become ‘other’ to them as an immigrant or migrant coming into the country or a transgender child. That’s how they’re seeing the world right now.”
“And those of us still inside the house, it’s like, ‘OK, I think we need to head for the front porch, because it’s getting scary up in here.’”
