'Melania, check your man': Trump's wife urged to intercede in campaign crisis

On Saturday morning, one of the co-hosts of MSNBC's "The Weekend" said it is time for Melania Trump to get more involved in her husband's presidential campaign that is currently being derailed by his attachment to a controversial far-right gadfly.

According to former RNC chair Michael Steele, Donald Trump's increasing interactions with controversial Laura Loomer is not only hurting him with fellow Republicans, it is also fueling rumors of an affair at a time when his campaign is reeling from his disastrous debate performance.

As Steele told his co-hosts, Trump's insistence on keeping up his attacks on legal immigrants in Springfield, Ohio is part and parcel of his links to Loomer who is notable for ginning up fake controversies.

Steele also expressed dismay that the Springfield lies continue to get oxygen.

After admitting he didn't really want to get into gossip of a tryst between the former president and Loomer, he complained to his co-hosts, "What is it about us that makes us so stupid we believe this crap and we push it out and we elevate it up?"

"What is going on?" he continued. "Because, you know, the Loomers of the world, she's grifting, she is making her money, she's got access, she is all up on the president."

"We have seen the photo, she is all up on her chest, we know what her deal is," he added. "Why are we the people, yeah — that photo, that photo — where is Melania? Melania, check your man! I don't understand. I don't get why we are so susceptible to this kind of BS."
