The Hill newspaper reports that a North Carolina member of the Republican
National Committee has called on RNC chairman Michael Steele to step down:
In an e-mail to fellow RNC members obtained by The Hill, Dr. Ada Fisher,
North Carolina's national committeewoman, said Steele is "eroding confidence"
in the GOP and that members of his transition team should encourage him to step
aside. Fisher added Steele's personal e-mail address to the e-mail.
"I don't want to hear anymore [sic] language trying to be cool about the
bling in the stimulus package or appealing to D.L. Hughley and blacks in a way
that isn't going to win us any votes and makes us frankly appear to many blacks
as quite foolish," Fisher wrote.
The paper says Fisher is one of three black members of the RNC and supported
South Carolina chairman Katon Dawson in the Jan. 30 election for national party
chairman.
As we and others reported, Steele apologized this week to conservative radio
host Rush Limbaugh after telling CNN host D.L. Hughley that Limbaugh is an
entertainer whose show is sometimes incendiary and ugly. It was the latest in a
series of awkward moments.
