Ex-RNC Chair Stops Himself From Going Too Far As He Slams ‘Vile’ GOP Attack

Former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele got fired up as he reacted to Republican jabs at Kamala Harris’ blended family, calling the attacks disgusting and politically idiotic.

“You sit there, and you scratch your head, and you go, is it me, or are they just stupid? Is it me, or they just rude, crude and vile in their approach to how I’m shaping my life, how I’m working to bring a family together?” Steele, an MSNBC political analyst, said on “Deadline: White House” Thursday.

“There is no harder work than for a mother or father who divorced, remarry, try to bring a family together with the idea of being family,” he continued. “And they’re now saying that women aren’t fulfilled or competent or capable unless they have children? That a family isn’t a family unless it is a mom and a dad who marry and never divorce.”

As Steele defended the many diverse types of families across the country, he had to refrain from getting too carried away on air.

“Even if you don’t have children, you’re still family — as a husband and husband, wife [and] wife, man and woman — whatever your family is,” he said.

“And I don’t need these—” he continued, stopping himself mid-sentence. “I’ll be good because it’s four o’clock in the afternoon.”

“I don’t need these — I’ll put it this way, these asses, telling me what my family is and telling me how I raise my kids, or looking at my family and judging it. You don’t get to do that,” he added.

Harris is the stepmother of two children with her husband, Doug Emhoff. Republicans have berated her for not having biological children.

In 2021, Donald Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), suggested Harris and other Democrats without biological kids can’t be good leaders because they don’t have a “direct stake” in the country.
