    This week @SteveSchmidtSES is my guest on The Podcast. I pressed Steve on why it took him so long (2018) to leave the GOP. His answer: he had grown up Catholic & left because of the pedophilia scandals. In this clip, he continues...

        - Donald Trump’s inital reaction to COVID-19 was comparable to his reaction to climate change: instantly dismissive. He downplayed its severity, and insisted it was no big deal. Any conflicting reports were clearly a conspiracy by the Democrats & the MSM to make him look bad.

        Strange answer. What does being Catholic have to do with leaving the Republican Party? @CatholicDems

        Why does it take a scandal of hideous proportions to see the hypocrisy in the most obvious places? Thank God many of us see clearly from the start?

        I left in 2011 because also as a Catholic I have a problem with abortion being used as birth control. But watching the GOP abandon the fetus once born I had an epiphany.pic.twitter.com/BoE5gtEj2J

        Thank you. Nobody is a fan of abortion, only of a woman’s right to decide if she wants to have a child. It’s always amazed me about Republicans, that they stop giving a damn about a child the moment it’s born & don’t mind zygotes being destroyed in laboratories.

        I was born Catholic, still am Catholic and that's a B.S. excuse...It was the money, it's still the money, now he is just making it as a never Trumper.

        Al Franken has a great podcast. This is Steve Schmidt telling his truth and no matter which side of the political divide you're on, Schmidt and Franken challenge you to, as Ayn Rand puts it, "Check your premises".
