Despite Steele Saying He’s Not Trying To ‘Scare’ People, RNC Poll Says Health Bill May Deny Care To Republicans
Wednesday, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele appeared on NPR and quickly got into a testy back-and-forth with interviewer Steve Inskeep over the Republican Party’s tactics in the health care debate.
Towards the end of the interview, Inskeep asked how the GOP plans to explain the complicated health care issue to the American people in a way that “doesn’t just kind of scare people with soundbites.” In response, Steele angrily replied,”No one’s trying to scare people with soundbites.
