The (Attendees’) Talk of the Party: Breitbart and Steele

Former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele was among the notable attendees at Thursday night’s Andrew Breitbart-hosted GOProud “Big Party.” (That, despite the fact that GOProud had called for Steele’s resignation multiple times.) Among the others were two names in the GOP presidential primary hat: former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson (R) and out gay GOP political strategist Fred Karger.

Breitbart brought Steele up on stage at one point, and Steele’s take-away message for the GOP and the conservative movement was, “We are stronger and we are better when we are united.”
