Full title: WATCH: Michael Steele Thinks Trump Is 'Probably Not Happy' The FBI Stopped a Terrorist Attack Against Dems
A few days ago, the FBI arrested U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Christopher Paul Hasson, a self-identified white nationalist who wanted "focused violence to establish a white homeland." He made a list of targets, primarily Democratic lawmakers and liberal journalists and began researching ways to carry out the attack.
Current MSNBC contributor and former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele made some rather strange comments about the story, saying it was likely that President Trump was upset that Hasson was stopped from carrying out his attack. Steele insinuated that Trump wanted someone like Hasson to carry out these type of attacks.
"Why would we be surprised that a that a self-proclaimed nationalist would not speak out against a self-proclaimed white nationalist? Why are we acting like this is a space Donald Trump is going to go in on behalf of the American ideal?" Steele asked, rhetorically. "No, he's not. And these are his people, alright? And he's not going to stop them and thank law enforcement. He's probably not happy about what law enforcement did."
Steele was pushed on the issue and asked what he thought Trump would do if Hasson did carry out his attack.
"Well, that's the next test in all of this," Steel replied. "That's a very good question and absolutely the next test. Honestly, we would hope there would be the appropriate level of outrage and pushback..."
Not everyone was happy with Steele's so-called "analysis" of the situation:

Bush League Republican.
Never trust a Bush League Republican.

What do they have in common? All have been losers in their most important presidential campaign.
Trump is one for one at the presidential level. That gives him a slugging percentage of 4.000.
Another chunk of excrement from the Bush/Rove regime.
I doubt there’s many Bush League Republicans that would say what this POS said.
Another racist Trump-hating celebrity looking for his Smollett moment.
Steele is a walking skid mark.
Michael Steele, the Affirmative Action dirtbag strikes again.
Steele is an A. A. Ahole. As chairman he was lazy. The rinos put him there as a go along, get along for Barry Soetero.
He knows who signs his checks.
I can’t believe I used to respect this guy. Now I loathe the piece of shit.
You took the words right out of my mouth!
Wow, totally delusional. It’s odd that someone with enough brains to be a party chairman could think something so absurd.
Lets wrap this Freepathon up, Folks!
What a moron...
Got it.. Steele not a good guy.
>I cant believe I used to respect this guy. Now I loathe the piece of >shit.
I never respected this guy.
Wow Michael Steele, stay on MSDNC now. You’re dead to me.
Not a good guy.....NEVER HAS BEEN.
He threatened nobody, he sent his letters to nobody. They were found in the delete bin on his computer.
