Michael Steele: “If someone landed on this planet from outer space, and asked, may I see the majority leader of the United States Senate…”

On the recordOctober 20, 2021
If someone landed on this planet from outer space, and asked, may I see the majority leader of the United States Senate, you know who they take them to? Mitch McConnell, because McConnell`s played this as if he`s still running the Senate, he`s played this as if he still has command and control of the operations, meaning the votes and what the senate business will be. And so, if I`m sitting there as a Democrat, I`m going to well damn, how did that happen? Didn`t we win?
