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:

Either RINO POS Michael Steele has gone over to the dark side or he was there all along and disguised it well, probably the latter.

Michael Steele
Mitt Romney
John McCain

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.

I doubt there’s many Bush League Republicans that would say what this POS said.

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.

Wow, totally delusional. It’s odd that someone with enough brains to be a party chairman could think something so absurd.

I haven't seen any evidence that Hasson was anything other than a gun-owning Coastie with a drug problem who wrote fantasy fiction.

He threatened nobody, he sent his letters to nobody. They were found in the delete bin on his computer.
