Ex-RNC head thanks Biden for cursing Trump: Speaking 'for the rest of us'
Joe Biden / Adam Schultz, Biden for President

Reacting to a report from Politico that President Joe Biden has taken to referring to Donald Trump with a colorful and crude choice of words, the Republican Party's former national chairman stated he doesn't see a problem with it.

He then thanked the current president for his candor and added that Biden speaks for a substantial number of Americans.

Speaking with MSNBC host Chris Jansing, Michael Steele, who hosts his own MSNBC show on the weekend, pointed out that Biden doesn't use that type of language on the stump — whereas Trump is known for his ugly comments and slurs during his rallies.

"There are two things to take away from this reporting," he began. "The first is this is a conversation he had with private friends, among friends. He wasn't standing at a podium as we've seen Donald Trump do in recent weeks and profanely describe others and aspects of this election. That's one.

"Number two, Donald Trump is given credit and props for speaking for MAGA. Well, guess what? Joe Biden speaks for the rest of us," he added dryly.

"I don't have a problem with that characterization because I think it's accurate personally," he continued. "So the fact that the president feels this way, I think, is a reflection of how a lot of Americans feel, and he speaks for a lot of Americans in that regard."

"But I'm not all worked up about it," he confessed. "In fact, I'm like ... okay, thank you. You just confirmed for me what I think and a lot of Americans think that way. So if Donald Trump can speak for MAGA, I think it's okay for Joe Biden to speak for the rest us."

A law enforcement agent was reportedly hospitalized after being shot by a gunman who stormed the entrance to the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday night.

CNN's John Berman reported that the shooter injured a law enforcement agent. Fox News host Sean Hannity also reported that a Secret Service agent was shot while the shooter stormed the entrance.

The shooter has since reportedly been identified as a 30-year-old man from Los Angeles, according to CNN law enforcement analyst John Miller. Law enforcement said they have him in custody.

Sean Hannity recounts how WHCD shooter 'charged' security checkpoint

The shooter who attacked the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday charged a security checkpoint set up near the entrance of the main ballroom, a conservative pundit recounted.

"The shooter charged the magnetometer closest to the front door," conservative pundit Sean Hannity told Fox News shortly after the chaos, which cut the dinner short and led to the evacuation of everyone at the head table, including Trump.

"How did he get up to that point?" Hannity asked. "What we can tell you, was that this was multiple shots at the closest magnetometer closest to the door."

"Everyone is okay," Hannity added. The shooter was in custody, despite earlier reports that he had been killed at the scene.


'Difficult to fathom': CNN anchor in disbelief that WHCD was set to resume after gunfire

The White House Correspondents' Dinner was initially set to resume after gunfire forced Trump and his party to evacuate, leaving a CNN anchor taken aback.

CNN reporter Brianna Keilar called it "difficult to fathom" that the event would carry on "because I just can't describe even the scene and just how scared everyone had been."

C-SPAN reported that President Donald Trump was initially expected to return to the dinner. Keilar said it seemed like the dinner would restart "momentarily" even though there was "a lot of commotion here right now."

However, the president later confirmed the event would not go on as he had hoped.

"Law Enforcement has requested that we leave the premises, consistent with protocol, which we will do, immediately," Trump wrote on Truth Social shortly after expressing hope the event would still go on. "I will be giving a press conference in 30 minutes from the White House Press Briefing Room."

Trump said first lady Melania Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and all Cabinet members were in "perfect condition" and declared they would reschedule it within 30 days.
