Remember this?

<...>

Now Steele is catching flack for those remarks:

After being confronted about the remarks, which Steele made during an Fox News interview on Tuesday, the new RNC chairman agreed to meet with the moderate Senators to discuss the matter, Snowe said Wednesday.

Snowe went on to say that the mind-set that moderates have no place within Republican Party has led to its shrinking presence in not only her home region of the Northeast but also its broader loss of power.

And while Steele moves to appease moderate Republicans, he:

... faced hard questions from conservative Members during the GOP meeting about his support for the D.C. voting rights bill now before the Senate. <...>

“You just cannot haphazardly call for primary challenges for your moderate wing one day and follow it with selling your base down the river the next. Somebody needs to tell him to relax, settle into the job and realize that nobody cares what the RNC chairman thinks about anything other than winning elections,” one veteran GOP aide said.

Good times.
