Former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele tore into his own party on Wednesday for essentially endorsing Donald Trump‘s treasonous behavior with Russia.

In a discussion with MSNBC‘s Ari Melber, Steele slammed the GOP for ignoring the disturbing information that has come out about the president’s ties to Russia.

The former RNC chairman said the GOP has completely attached itself to Trump when it comes to putting party before country.

“If you’re taking these steps given the information, the facts as we now see them being laid out, and you’re going to slow the roll legislatively, then you’re now a part of this narrative just as much as anybody else is as far as I’m concerned,” Steele said.

“The most important thing is to give cover to this president,” he added.

Steele said:

It’s all collusion. If you’re taking these steps given the information, the facts as we now see them being laid out, and you’re going to slow the roll legislatively, then you’re now a part of this narrative just as much as anybody else is as far as I’m concerned. These guys have the evidence. They have more information than you do sitting here, and you’ve got a lot. So the fact of the matter is, if this is the step you want to take, that you’re going to gum up the work and filibuster on this measure to impose the sanctions that are appropriate to impose, you’re saying to a lot of Americans out there that you’re down with protecting the president to the extent that — to such an extent that it’s violative of the law to the law, you don’t care. Its violative of the process, you don’t care. The most important thing is to give cover to this president.  

Republicans are openly putting Trump over the country

It’s not some secret that Republicans are giving cover to Trump, even as the evidence continues to mount that he is essentially acting as a Russian asset. The GOP is covering for him in plain sight.

On Wednesday, Republican senators killed an effort by Democrats that would have blocked Trump from lifting sanctions on three Russian businesses with ties to Vladimir Putin.

In other words, being soft on Russia is no longer just isolated to Donald Trump. It has become standard Republican Party policy.

That’s something that should outrage Americans of every political stripe.
