This makes me want to do some historical research. I don’t remember specifics off the top of my head, but I recall Steele saying some “garbage person” things when he was RNC chair. I’ll come back later if I find details.
While he opposed a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, he would uphold the Republican party platform and support such an amendment (2008)
Opposed same-sex civil unions (2009)
Compared embyronic stem cell research to Nazi medical experiments during the Holocaust (2006, later apologized)
Stated that the Afghan war was “a war of Obama’s choosing [???]” (2010)
Now I remember. He’s said wrong, patently ridiculous, and contradictory things. Just because he happens to be on the right side of an issue right now doesn’t necessarily mean that he was before, or will be in the future … or would oppose his Party platform and stand on his own principles.
