Michael Steele UNLOADS on Trump over racist social media post - The Briefing - MS NOW



Michael Steele confronts Donald Trump's weasely avoidance of responsibility for posting a racist video of Barack and Michelle Obama to his social media account, dubiously blaming an unnamed assistant, and remarks that Trump thought Americans would be racist enough to accept the post without any blowback even as it resurrected generations-old trauma from when American racism was uninhibited. - Aired on 02/06/2026.

...he sees this is no longer a "conservative" party.
It is a CULT.

A FACIST CULT.

It is a cult of personality sucking on the mushroom of the most imbecilic moron in American history.

And it is very, very, VERY ANTI-AMERICAN.

President Obama wasn’t born in America but in Kenya was 100% racist and that 3 different
Hawaiian Newspapers had his birth announcement printed in their papers.

The largest fine for racial housing discrimination in history was against a Trump real estate
rental company for marking applications from A.A.s with a “C” for colored and then denying
to rent an apartment to “those colored folks.”

Telling Jeffery Epstein that he didn’t want any “booger girls” aka black girls.

His calling for the execution of the Central Park 5 for a crime they didn’t commit.

His praise for Robert E. Lee, removing historically accurate references to slavery and
slave ownership from museums, the National Parks, and honors to MLK Jr.

His own dad was arrested @ a KKK riot in NYC.

And on and on and on. The failure of any Republican to call out his racist the Obamas are
apes picture shows their racism too.
