Now, you'd think that an administration wanting to take this seriously would place highly qualified individuals in agency roles tasked with combating religious terrorist hate threats and violence. And yet Trump hasn't even cleared that low hurdle, because we know that we ended up with Thomas, the guy that Trump currently has in charge of the Department of Homeland Security's center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships, a division tasked with working with state and local governments and other stakeholders to prevent terrorism, including religious terrorism, is just 23 years old with no experience in government, anti terrorism, or really anything else. The person Thomas took over for had over two decades of national security experience. But now, under Trump, we have an immature, incompetent, infantile person who barely even lived, who's barely even lived for two decades in charge of this important work. (04:51–05:21)
