Michael Steele snaps at Project 2025 architect over threat to gut government for Trump

Raw Story  

An interview with the man called the "architect" of the far-right Project 2025 plan to dismantle the federal government and remake it into a Donald Trump-friendly authoritarian nightmare quickly turned ugly on MSNBC on Saturday morning.

"No, we're going to fire someone — and the number needs to be more than 50,000, considering there are 2 million federal employees," Roberts shot back. "But you would fire my dad because he wrote a check to a Democratic candidate without any appreciation or understanding where his political allegiance actually lies," Steele interrupted.
