Summary

Mea Culpa welcomes the legendary politician turned political analyst, Michael Steele. Steele made history when he became the first African-American to be elected to statewide office in Maryland, where he served as lieutenant governor from 2003 to 2007. He was chosen to be the first African-American chairperson of the Republican National Committee from 2009 to 2011. Steele’s abilities as a communicator and commentator have been showcased daily on MSNBC. He’s also appeared on Meet the Press, Face the Nation, HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, and The Daily Show to name a few. In addition to his work in television, Steele can be heard each week on his radio show on SiriusXM. Steele, a prolific writer, is also the author of “Right Now: A 12-Step Program for Defeating the Obama Agenda", but don’t hold that against him. Michael and Mr Steele dig deep into the GOP, Fox News and the culture wars.
