Michael Steele: Mike Lindell’s Candidacy for Governor ‘Says a Lot About Where We Are’ — A Person Embodying ‘Simplistic Stupidity’

EXCERPT:

STEELE: "It's not the one I was going to use, but we’ll work with that. If that’s the best the Republicans can put up to run for governor of a state, it just says a lot about where we are. So when I hear someone -- let’s play this. This is a little bit of a full screen from Mike Lindell headlines from out of his mouth. 'I don’t trust any election ever done with the computer.' Dude, where the hell have you been for the last 50 years?"

DANIELS: "Making terrible pillows."

STEELE: "Okay. And then, 'Win or lose, I will say something if there’s a problem with the machines.' I mean, he functionally does not know. This is what folks — this is what I’m talking about. Simplistic stupidity. This is it right here, when you’re just functionally not prepared to step into a job because this is your mindset. So to your earlier point, and to Sarah’s about sort of the dynamics around it, it becomes critically important that we be able to level up people out of folk organizations like yours, grassroots activists, to go and help support voters get to the polls so that their vote will actually matter."
