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 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..."

The media, naturally, is more than happy to help.
