'What do they think is going to happen?' Ex-GOP insider says Trump move will backfire
President Donald Trump and his administration are in for a shock after their recent move, according to an ex-Republican operative.
Former GOP chair Jennifer Horn appeared on MSNBC on Saturday, and was asked by the host of Ayman about the administration's decision to make a late-night firing of at least 12 inspectors general –– including some the president personally approved of in his first term.
What really "surprises" Horn, she said, is that "they are so short-sighted."

"What do they think is going to happen the next time Democrats are in charge - the next time there is a Democratic president in the White House," she said. "It's so short-sighted of them, politically."
She added that the move is a "significant threat" to how the government actually functions.
