Former head of the Republican National Committee Michael Steele ripped his successor, current RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, on Monday for comparing President Obama to the Italian cruise ship captain who allegedly abandoned ship and has been arrested on multiple charges.
"I think it's an unfortunate analogy. I mean, people died in that situation," Steele said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Monday in Florida.
On CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday, Priebus referred to President Obama as "Capt. Schettino."
On CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday, Priebus referred to President Obama as "Capt. Schettino."
“We’re going to talk about our own little Capt. Schettino, which is President Obama, who’s abandoning the ship here in the United States and is more interested in campaigning than doing his job as president,” Priebus said.
Francesco Schettino was the captain of the Costa Concordia, the cruise ship that ran aground and partially sank off the coast of Italy earlier this month, killing at least 16 people.Steele, an MSNBC political analyst, was also critical of the RNC's effectiveness, saying the committee "dropped the ball" when it came to reaching out to voters.
they are jumping ship daily, massive attack of conscious? i think Steele's day were numbered when at the out set of his appt. he said "i gonna bring some color up i here"
to claim Bush was made fun of or called names IMO well deserved, does not excuse the racist remarks and caricatures the right wing has propagated throughout this election and last 4 years. if he walked on water they would claim he can't swim.
