Michael Steele: “Let me tell you, Mitch McConnell is not a happy camper. This was not the conversation he wanted Republicans to have over…”

They placate instead of being the leaders and saying, no, this is not what we do here. We are a party about the rule of law, you know. So, right now, it`s just all a lie. It`s hypocrisy.

Some have said, 'Oh, yes, I will speak up. I will follow the law,' they're lying.

In my estimation, it falls squarely on the hands and the heads of the Marjorie Taylor Greenes, the Jim Jordans, the Josh Hawleys, Mitch McConnells, the Kevin McCarthys, the people who are leaders in the party.

Let me be clear: I have no regrets about coining the term 'drill, baby, drill.'
