Former head of the Republican National Committee Michael Steele ripped his successor, current RNC Chairman Reince Priebus for comparing President Obama to the Italian cruise ship captain who allegedly abandoned ship and has been arrested on multiple charges.
"I think it's an unfortunate analogy. I mean, people died in that situation," Steele said.
On CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday, Priebus referred to President Obama as "Capt. Schettino."
“We’re going to talk about our own little Capt. Schettino, which is President Obama, who’s abandoning the ship here in the United States and is more interested in campaigning than doing his job as president,” Priebus said.
Francesco Schettino was the captain of the Costa Concordia, the cruise ship that ran aground and partially sank off the coast of Italy, killing at least 16 people.
Steele, an MSNBC political analyst, was also critical of the RNC's effectiveness, saying the committee "dropped the ball" when it came to reaching out to voters.
"The reality of it is the RNC, the party has got to come to the country with a message. They haven't done that. They dropped the ball," Steele said.
