'He's projecting': Ex-RNC head puts 'fascist' Project 2025 group chief on the spot
Heritage Foundation chief Kevin Roberts, the man overseeing the far-right Project 2025 plan to transform the entire federal government into a loyalist army for the Republican Party, is "projecting" his own authoritarian impulses when he attacks the Democratic Party, said former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele on MSNBC Friday evening.
Roberts, who also recently called for a "second American Revolution" that will be "bloodless" as long as the left doesn't resist, proclaimed at the National Conservatism Conference, "The left's new America will have no written Constitution and no rule of law, no independent judiciary, no democratic accountability or national sovereignty. It will be a global theocracy with Marxist fundamentalists sitting in its thrones, menacing its enemies."
"He's full of crap," said Steele. "He's projecting exactly what they want to do. Just swap up Marxist and put in fascist. And just flip the script."

"Look, they're now backtracking on Project 2025," Steele continued. "I've been hearing there may have been some reporting on this that a lot of folks in the inner, inner circle are pissed as hell right now because they're getting tagged on this project. This was supposed to be the secret platform thing they had rolled up even though Donald Trump was talking about it in 2022 and has been praising Heritage, who's going to put together the plan, the foundation of my second administration. And now he expects us to be the stupid ones when he says, oh, Project 2025? I don't know anything about Project — what is Project 20 — I've never heard of it. What is that? Who, me?"
"Yeah, stop it," said Steele. "Donald, you're the stupid one, not us, if you think that we're believing this crap. So, now they're trying to distance themselves. No, baby, we're wrapping all 900 pages around you because you own it. You know this is your foundation. You know this is what you want to do to the country. So, we had the president of Heritage on the weekend, and he started, again, laying that stuff out there. So, now they're trying to backtrack and act like we didn't hear what we heard or we're reading what we're reading. But own it."
"It is the foundation on which they will launch the deconstruction of America," he added. "I mean, Donald Trump, he said, let's terminate the Constitution. Quote. His words ... and you're worried about Joe Biden? Have you ever heard Joe Biden say, I want to terminate the Constitution?"
