“It takes your breath away,” MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace said after Steele, who led the Republican Party from 2009 to 2011, leaned in discomfort on camera, letting one rip — though Wallace was likely responding to the commentary.
The prime-time moment comes just more than a year after California Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell audibly farted during an interview with Chris Matthews on the same network, triggering the hashtag “#FartGate” to trend on social media. One user even illustrated Swalwell’s gas with infrared.
