Steele’s analogy came during a discussion on Republican lawmakers spreading disinformation about the Ukraine scandal during the impeachment inquiry against Trump. He also acknowledged “we will have to do some serious rebuilding, not just the Republican Party” after Trump leaves office, be it in 2020 or beyond. “That’s the problem for the rest of us as we try to put back in place those institutions that have safeguarded not just our domestic security but our foreign security as well,” said Steele, who served as the RNC chair from 2009 to 2011. “And it makes it much harder to do when you second guess and doubt everything that you hear, see and read,” he added. Steele, a vocal critic of the Trump administration, last month called out the RNC for bulk-buying thousands of copies of Donald Trump Jr.’s new book.
