Steele: Reid Should Resign As Leader Over Obama Comments Appearing on Fox News Sunday, RNC chairman Michael Steele said that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (R-NV) should have to resign as leader because of his private comments about Barack Obama and race during the 2008 presidential race. “There is this standard where Democrats feel that they can say these things and they can apologize when it comes from the mouths of their own. But if it comes from anyone else, it is racism,” said Steele, also adding: “If (Senate Minority Leader) Mitch McConnell had said those very words that this chairman and this president would be calling for his head, and they would be labeling every Republican in the country as a racist for saying exactly what this chairman has just said.”
