'Let them choke on that': Michael Steele delivers blunt game-plan to derail the GOP

MSNBC host Michael Steele had more than a few words of advice for a Democratic freshman lawmaker on how to deal with her new Republican colleagues in the House.

Make them own the mess they are making of the country.

With Donald Trump back in the Oval Office and Republicans narrowly holding slim majorities in both chambers of Congress, the former RNC chair explained to an amused Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE) that trying to work with Republicans is a losing game for the Democrats so let them sink or swim on their own.

With McBride telling Steele and his "The Weekend" co-host Symone Sanders Townsend that she was looking forward to working on bi-partisan legislation with the party across the aisle, Steele pulled her up short.

"Congresswoman, I know we're getting ready to let you go, but I just want to say this: y'all need to chill on this, all this kumbaya partisan bi-partisan crap," Steele told the laughing McBride.

Reading from an NBC report, he continued, "Because at the end of the day, here's your headline: 'Republicans shoot down Democratic requests to ditch party line immigration, push and write a bipartisan bill instead. Senate Republicans are making it clear they will pursue a border package without Democratic input.'"

"They don't want to work with you, they're not going to work with you," he lectured. "They have the House, the Senate and the White House. Let them choke on that."
