Michael Steele: ‘Republicans Talk About the Mexican Border — There Is a More Important Border Between Democracy and Fascism’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
Steele: “What you said there I think was important. The passion for it, what you say, the way you said it, the idea of walking the streets. That’s how I learned politics. Abraham Lincoln, founder of my party, emphasized that aspect of politics, that personal relationship. That’s where I think the Democrats have the strength of the argument. But they’ve got to get on the streets to make it happen, particularly with young voters with this generation that’s more animated and engaged than prior young generations. How do you get those pieces together? We are against a threat in fascism at the border of the United States. Republicans talk about the Mexican border. There is a more important border between democracy and fascism.”

Sanders: “You preaching now.”

Steele: “That’s all I got to say. I am done for the morning. Thank you.”

Sanders: “And also who should be in the streets. Name some names.”

Bowman: “Let’s not make it complicated. Sometimes I get frustrated with my team who I love so much when I tell them I need to be at a high school tomorrow. I need to be at the train station tomorrow. Don’t give me the spreadsheet and the chart and this and that and the poll and this and this, I need to be outside. President Biden, vice president Harris, leader jefferys, senator Schumer, speaker Pelosi, Jamaal Bowman, alc, everyone in between hit the streets of America. The people need to see us. They need to talk to us. They need to feel us.”

Sanders: “Are you asserting though that Democrats are not in the streets?”

Bowman: “We are not in the streets enough.”

Sanders: “Okay.”

Bowman: “You want me to go with you to an event in Philadelphia, president did last week, and I couldn’t make it. I am watching from afar. I see a podium, American flags, too much Polish. We can be polished, yes, and articulate and intelligent but we have to be human first.”
