โ€œI tell them to get a life. Thatโ€™s old Washington, thatโ€™s old ways, and I donโ€™t represent that, and that kills them,โ€ Steele told ABC News Radio in an interview today.

โ€œIโ€™m telling them and Iโ€™m looking them in the eye and say Iโ€™ve had enough of it. If you donโ€™t want me in the job, fire me. But until then, shut up. Get with the program or get out of the way.โ€

Steele was responding to a series of reports โ€” most recently in todayโ€™s Washington Times โ€” where prominent GOP operatives and fund-raisers have criticized Steele for seeming to focus more on his own image (and pocketbook) rather than the good of the party.

Responded Steele: โ€œSome of my prior chairmen who are running their mouths right now โ€” how many farm teams did you build as chairman?โ€

โ€œAll Iโ€™m saying is cut it out. If we have party differences that are inside the party, letโ€™s deal with them inside the party. You donโ€™t see the Democrats running around trying to beat up their national chairman or embarrass him.โ€

See: there is respect across the aisle.
