Asking the secret service to investigate the secret service is simply absurd.

[digitalwasabi]

What does that guy mean by the Secret Service ALMOST failed their Zero Fail Mission. THEY FAILED!

[aaronsayers]

Its 2024, where were the drones with cameras?

[lorenalowry]

Do we really believe the investigation will be honest?

[nbrown]

Wait for all the facts roflol, still waiting on the Kennedy case.

[joeminier]

And why are they only posting pictures of him as a child rather than his recent pics?

[amberdariano]

call me one of those that have a conspiracy theory but you mean to tell me people stating that they seen him on the roof, with the gun but no one took a shot until after he missed his shot on the former president. Why did someone have to die and two others fighting for their life before taking the shot.

[TheSaltySiren]

Ugh! My thoughts and prayers are with Corey’s family. I’m so so sorry for their loss. Corey seems like he was a wonderful man. No daughter should ever have to grow up without her Daddy. 🥺

At 13:13, the Secret Service has over 6, 000 employees and a $2 Billion budget. Understaffing & underfunding is not a problem. Don't listen to the fellow law enforcement officer who is gaming the system.

[whiteobama]

complicity or incompetence. Choose your story.

[hey_its_me_]

Trump is 6'3". Why were short people on his security detail? After the shots, there were gaps in his physical shield as he exited the stage.

[garyhall]

Gonna say it again. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. I believe the TRUTH will come out in the wash.

[healthy_relationshihps]

Isn’t it strange he was in a BlackRock commercial?

[MostDope-cvoe]

Why does EVERY news channel use old pictures of shooter?

[bonniejosavland]

The FBI investigating the Secret Service 😳🤫

[jimmyzhao]

5:53 I'm glad to hear that the go-fund-me campaign is going strong for the Widow and children.

[cfil]

There is so much to unpack with this horrific incident! Bottom line this is a huge wake-up call to our country that cannot be ignored, WE as Americans must not tolerate this type of behavior from either side, while ALL coming together in this moment to demand a full transparent investigation to why this happen, why safe measures was NOT taken with the upmost precedence, along with laws and regulations put in place!

[dannyholder]

What you should look into is the woman directly behind Trump. Who when the shooting started didn't look surprised or scared but instead started recording on her phone.

[cbradley]

The FBI is looking it this.... This must be a joke..

[gwengard]

That guy looked like a child. This is really so scary. Love and prayers to all the families involved!
