She not only needs to be FIRED but also TRIED! This is unacceptable. I’m disgusted!!

[captyonah]

Imagine how much more aggressive the media would be if this was Obama, and not Trump.

[cal]

I have absolutely no faith in the secret service with this woman in charge.

[shadowman]

Avoiding EVERY question. Unacceptable.

[tonystephens]

If she resigns, she gets a very comfortable pension. If she is fired, she gets nothing. She needs to be fired immediately.

[josetoro]

She doesn’t give a damn about the inquiry because she knows she is being protected from the top. This is disgusting. This woman must be investigated and fired.

[chrispalo]

This woman is absolutely unqualified for her job and is stonewalling.

I am a roofer. That “sloped roof” is only a 2/12 pitch. OSHA doesn’t require any safety gear on a roof of that slope.
I am also a hunter. I can easily drop a deer at 300 yards, twice the distance the shooter was from Trump. To say that building was “outside the perimeter “ is ludicrous.

[MichaelUrbanek-yobk]

The facts that she is not answering any questions shows she is guilty af. She should have been fired already.

[cryytei]

DEFUND THE DHS. It is worthless, worse than worthless.

[TacoTruck]

She failed miserably and should be fired and held accountable!

[hoytmccloskey]

She still has a job? After that epic failure... pathetic

[garyt-ofyb]

HIRED BY THE OPPONENT TO PROTECT THE ENEMY? THIS IS JUST DISCUSTING! DID SHE HOLD BACK IN HOPES THIS GUY COULD GET TRUMP?

[douglaspage]

Resign. Non answers are not enough. Sick of these liars, every damn one of them. Honest people can answer a simple question. Obviously not one member of any agencies can tell the truth to save their own life.

[rosebutler]

She appreciates every question but never answers any of them. 🤦‍♀️

[debereisinger]

She's not going to give straight answers to any questions.... because she's unqualified and inept. She's fired!!

[Robert-btbo]

The head of the secret service needs to be fired in charged with treason immediately simple as that

[MrSpock]

As a retired military professional I REALLY want to respect Ms. Cheatle, but I simply can't. Her first act should be to offer her resignation to the President (or whomever is running the Exec Branch). Her second act ought to be firing any and ALL personnel hired to perform ANYTHING related to DEI and/or standards decrease. The chubby female agent is a frackin' joke and frankly makes my blood boil!!!

[jar]

Typical hearing never answer questions.

[tonicooper]

She's such a liar, needs to be fired and jailed
