Former RNC Chairman Michael Steele was in a roundtable on MSNBC with Nicolle Wallace and they were discussing how odd it was that Trump had neglected to praise law enforcement when Michael Steele said this:
Michael Steele: “I was going to say, I guess I kind of, at this point, have reached — my glass is no longer half-full, it’s just overflowing with all of the crazy that comes out of Trump. On this one, why would we be surprised 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? No, he’s not. These are his people, all right. And he’s not going to thank law enforcement because he’s probably not happy about what law enforcement did.”
Nicolle Wallace: “Is that where we are?”
Michael Steele: “That’s where we are. I call the space where we are what we are. I’m not going to try to dress it up and be all pie in the sky and hopeful that oh, the next incident, Donald Trump will actually get it right, that will he have matured in his presidency enough to act like a president,”
Nicolle Wallace: That’s a brave thing to say...

Republicans hate it when conservative blacks speak the truth about Trump's white nationalist craziness, so Steel is now being demonized on the Far Right.
We should amplify his message without endorsing the messenger.
