Former RNC Chairman Michael Steele joins Katie Barlow and Joe Lockhart to talk about the virtual Republican National Convention, the future of his party, and Donald Trump’s “magic dust” that the press and the political class often miss. Steele explains why he joined the Republican Party in the 1970s. He discusses where the party was heading and how it was growing until 2012. And how under Donald Trump, the GOP has been transformed into haven for racists, grifters, and conspiracy theorists.
