No, the biggest secret service failure was the deletion of text messages from January 6th.

[marshadamjanovich]

Well she took responsibility and is investigating.Former President Trump will not take responsibility for January 6th.

[rona]

She has done nothing wrong. She’s just the scapegoat. Somebody has to be held accountable. Being held accountable for someone who has never been held accountable. Talk about irony. That is messed up.

[noid]

After what trump did to law enforcement january six. What law enforcement with a brain would put their life at risk for that traitor now.

[ThomasBiondo-sierra]

She takes full responsibility but she’s not resigning!

[brahmanspleroma]

This is how department heads and leaders are supposed to respond.

[TheMysteryShack]

It almost seems as if she's apologizing to her shadow bosses who paid for the hit . She is saying we failed because they did, also adding that she also taken responsibility

[angel]

Refreshing to hear an official admitting a failure and taking responsibility for it. The buck does stop with her, despite the mistakes or incompetence attributable to her subordinates.

[NickAder]

good for her

she took full responsibility and didnt blame it on Nancy Pelosi

trump could learn a lot from this hard working woman

[cweatherfella]

Reminder
A man got killed
He had a family

[lizrivera]

Now an American leader knows what five year olds feel like just trying to go to school. Ironic

[stev]

Donald should show the real medical report on his ear and not the one form someone who doesn't have a medical license anymore

[Bacug]

Girl👀it did what it was suppose to👀the rehearsal was spot on! Stop playing!

[GhANeC]

How can anyone be truly and fully untouchable

[dpearson]

Full responsibility, words you'll never hear Trump say

[jx]

so fake, please bring truth to AMERICA

[timmackey]

Nothing but a word salad, to the unemployment line with her.

[johannasheinman]

Please get it in shape for president Harris!

[kwmom]

He failed too! If anything further had happened, he would have been totally responsible. He knew though, didn't he??

[NS-efix]

She should not resign. Isn’t that what the republican congressmen and any right wingers do when being interrogated? To use the selective memory loss? Just saying…
