“Catastrophic Failure Of Secret Service” Says Former Trump Advisor Sebastian Gorka

Gunfire erupted at a Donald Trump rally on Saturday, sparking panic in the crowd and spattering the Republican presidential candidate with blood, before he emerged and defiantly pumped his fist in the air and was ushered to a waiting car.

Trump grimaced and grabbed his ear before security hustled him away, his red "Make America Great Again" hat knocked off. The Secret Service and the former president's campaign said Trump was safe following the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, about 30 miles (50 km) north of Pittsburgh.

Live video showed blood spattered on Trump's right cheek and ear.

Downing Street in the United Kingdom issued a statement about the shooting:

“We are shocked by the scenes at President Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania. We condemn all forms of political violence in the strongest terms and we send our best wishes to President Trump and his family at this time."

Two reasons for the secret service security failure: Incompetence or deliberate incompetence.

[thomassites]

on a building 130 yards away is not outside the reasonable perimeter of protection. major incompetence

[francesbrown]

Sad to see how low the US has fallen that this has happened.

[FireballProductions]

And the witnesses tried to tell them they saw the man climbing up to the roof with a gun and they did nothing

[doorguru]

They had a report of someone on top of the building with a rifle that they ignored. The Secret Service should be embarrassed

[lorenzbroll]

Such an obvious place yet no eyes on it.
I'd say it's suspicious rather than a 'failure'!

[jackspring]

"Failure". People saw the man scaling the building to the roof. Apparently millions of dollars of security equipment and personnel weren't able to. One of those people warned security that he had seen a suspicious man climb to the roof, and he was ignored by security.

I didn't think that i could get any more disgusted by the legacy media until this happened i mean to equate an attempted assassination with someone falling on stage is about as far down the gutter as they have ever reported on

[piglex]

The security lapse was deliberate. No question. Nobody has asked who was in charge of the security for this event.

[moniquerohan]

Americans wake up. This is unacceptable behavior. Disgraceful. I’m ashamed of my country. 😢 sad day. People are laughing at us. Sad sad 😞 day

[winterborn]

The guy was on video saying the secret service did not react when he pointed out shooter before he shot

[thnboxw]

What clowns are the US secret service.

[ursinegrubby]

20 year old guy in plain sight of ... everyone. Trump needs a private security force.

[wiegandmaechtlen]

I absolutely agree! The secret service acted like pathetic amateurs!!

[ellenrittgers]

President Trump was hit, two rally goers were hit. And the reputation of the secret service took a major hit!

[astronovvanbeachywagon]

Trump turned his head slightly a micro second before, just as he said the word ' look', that movement probably saved his life.

[robertfrank]

No more government investigating itself! Citizens of this country want honest investigations and answers, then accountability.

[HelenaMikas]

The secret service is rather suspect....

[theresarathell]

Eyewitnesses INFORMED the cops when he was crawling up the side, NO EXCUSES!

[blitztim]

Dude was on a white roof in plain sight!
