The former chair of the Republican National Committee who touted Mitt Romney as the party’s ideal presidential nominee back in 2012 is now in the crosshairs of conservatives for bailing on his party and supporting Vice President Kamala Harris in November.

Following the landslide loss of Romney to former President Barack Obama as he sought a second term, the RNC conducted a much-touted “autopsy” report on why the Republican Party struggled to win over young and minority voters despite years of concerted outreach. Much of the report focused on the years leading up to the election, especially the 2009-2011 period chaired by Michael Steele, a former lieutenant governor of Maryland and a prominent Black Republican. While he rode a red wave in 2010 thanks in large party to the Tea Party movement, Steele was unceremoniously ousted the following year by Reince Priebus.

Since leaving center stage, Steele has refashioned himself into an anti-Trump political pundit, sitting on panels on mainstream media outlets and lamenting the sea change that’s taken place in the GOP since the 2016 election of former President Donald Trump. Now that the 45th president appears poised to defeat Harris, Steele is showing his true colors, endorsing Harris just days after she succeeded President Joe Biden on the ticket.

In a post on X, the former Republican leader shared a picture of Harris dressed in a Captain America outfit and trolled Trump’s old account, writing “Hey @realDonaldTrump. You ready for this?”

The post, spotted by the Western Journal, mirrors similar ones posted by influential liberal accounts on the social network, indicating what Steele has been reading since leaving his old party in the rearview. Brian Krassenstein, an influencer who has been paid to prop up Biden’s flailing campaign before it was ended, also shared the AI-generated image of Harris, asking followers if it was “weird” and predicting the Democrat would be leading in the polls within five weeks.

To be sure, Steele was a vocal anti-Trump opponent long before this year. He joined the Lincoln Project in 2020, whose stated goal was to unite Republicans against President Trump’s reelection, endorsing Biden and appearing in the group’s advertisements. For his years of undermining conservatives, Steele was granted a recurring role in MSNBC’s new weekend lineup alongside the former spokeswoman for Bernie Sanders (I-VT).

If Steele thought his post was a flex, he might have miscalculated judging by the flood of critical comments he received. “Omg – No dignity, cringe AF,” wrote a prominent conservative poster. “I’m so embarrassed for you,” said Federalist contributor David Harsanyi in his own reply. And a Twitchy curator laughed on the inside, saying Trump “broke” Steele’s brain.

Following the attempted assassination of Trump earlier this month, Steele was slammed for pushing a far-left conspiracy theory that the Republican leader wasn’t actually shot at the rally when he questioned whether Trump was actually hit with the bullet, according to Fox News.

“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,” posted Christopher Bedford, senior politics editor and DC correspondent for The Blaze.

“The former RNC chairman, ladies and gentlemen. I’ll hand it to him: he is incapable of embarrassment,” political commentator Tom Woods said.
