Hey folks, let’s dive into the latest head-scratcher coming out of MSNBC’s Michael Steele. You might remember Steele as the former chair of the Republican National Committee. Well, he’s back in the news, but not in a way that’ll make Republicans proud. This week, Steele decided it would be a brilliant idea to post an image of Vice President Kamala Harris as Captain America. Yes, you read that right. He even tagged former President Trump with the caption, “Hey @realDonaldTrump. You ready for this?”

Let’s just say the internet had a field day with this one.
First up, Dave Rubin from “The Rubin Report” couldn’t resist asking, “What happened to you man?” It’s a fair question. Going from leading the RNC to posting what amounts to Democratic fan fiction is a dramatic fall from grace.
Christopher Bedford from TheBlaze didn’t hold back either. He pointed out how Steele’s antics give insight into why voters were so eager for someone like Trump to shake things up. According to Bedford, Steele’s actions showcase exactly how out of touch the Republican leadership was for years.
From running the RNC to debasing himself on MSNBC and posting AI-generated Dem fan fiction.
Gives you a good glimpse at how the Republican Party was run for a couple of decades, and why voters were so hungry for someone like Donald Trump to start fighting. https://t.co/QFSYbfhRx6

And then there’s Michael Brendan Dougherty from National Review. He described Steele’s post as a sign of liberal groupthink and delusion, calling it “psychotic.” It’s pretty clear that Dougherty thinks Steele has lost touch with reality.
David Marcus had some biting commentary too. He echoed his own words from a Fox News Digital column, saying that even if Kamala Harris dressed as Captain America for her campaign, people would still see through the facade. He highlighted her lack of accomplishments and accused her of years of deceit about Joe Biden.
Direct quote from Fox Column yesterday:
“Kamala could campaign in a Captain America costume and everyone would see right through it, exposing her lack of accomplishments and years of lying about Joe.”https://t.co/utyWdsystI https://t.co/XHCsCGJP4Z

Republican communicator Matt Whitlock took the cake, though. He called Steele’s post “the most embarrassing thing anyone has posted on this site in history.” That’s a bold claim, considering the internet’s vast collection of cringe-worthy content.

And finally, political commentator Tom Woods summed it up perfectly, saying Steele is “incapable of embarrassment.” It’s hard to argue with that assessment given Steele’s recent behavior.
Let’s not forget Steele’s other recent moment in the spotlight. Just last week, he was peddling conspiracy theories, questioning whether Trump’s ear had been hit by a high-caliber bullet. That didn’t go over well either.
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is cruising unchallenged for the Democratic nomination, which will be formally decided at the August 19th convention in Chicago. With President Biden stepping aside and endorsing her, it’s clear the Democratic establishment is rallying behind her. But if Steele’s tweet is anything to go by, they might need to reconsider their strategy.
So there you have it, folks. Michael Steele’s journey from RNC chair to MSNBC’s resident meme generator continues to baffle and amuse.
