Former GOP chair Michael Steele calls Trump 'the super spreader' in the White House

Former Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele referred to President Trump as a “super spreader†on Tuesday as a growing number of White House officials test positive for the coronavirus.
Steele knocked Trump after footage emerged online showing the president taking off his mask after returning to the White House on Monday, despite his positive COVID-19 diagnosis several days earlier. Trump spent the weekend at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center getting treatment for the disease.
At the time, Trump appeared to be posing for photos near a balcony at the White House. Not long after, the president could be seen leaving to enter the building without his mask on.
“He takes his mask off in contravention of everything we know. He is the super spreader. He is the problem in the White House, and everyone wants to tiptoe around it,†Steele said on MSNBC, where he serves as a political analyst.
