Ex-RNC Chair Michael Steele Exposes 'Utter Bulls**t' New Line In Trump's Speech

Donald Trump’s speeches are infamously loaded with claims that range from wild exaggerations to outright lies.

But one moment in particular stood out during his weekend speech in South Carolina, according to Michael Steele, former Republican National Committee chair.

It’s a line recently added to his speeches referring to his arrest and indictment last month.

“They want to take away my freedom because I will never let them take away your freedom,” Trump told the crowd.

But Steele, a longtime Trump critic from the right, isn’t buying what he called “utter bullshit.”

He tweeted:

As Steele suggested, the allegations against Trump have nothing to do with anyone else’s freedom. He was indicted on 37 counts related to his alleged mishandling of classified materials and obstruction of government efforts to retrieve them.

Others accused of similar crimes have been routinely sentenced to prison.

Just last month, a former FBI intelligence analyst was sentenced to nearly four years after being convicted on some of the same Espionage Act charges that Trump is now facing.
