Mama always said... You cannot shame someone who has NO SHAME.

[cedricdias]

The fact that she didn’t visit the site after the assassination attempt speaks volumes about her interest in the incident. Pathetic administration

[hoofarted]

She is more trained in not answering questions that the job that she had to do.

[ricksolari]

She's a strong argument against coddled, female bureaucrats in law enforcement.

[dermotjones]

She believes her main role is to increase DEI hires

[chrismartin]

Not only should she resign, she should be charged with negligence and endangering a top priority target.

[Vaportrail]

He did not act alone. He was allowed to get on the roof. He even threatened a cop and still not taken out

[Rotaylor]

She brings 5’ 5” agents to cover someone over 6’….how can she not be fired already for all the negligent acts

[dyates]

I know she resigned today, but she needs to be charged with gross negligence and as an assessor to homicide. HOW could the DIRECTOR of the secret service NOT know how tall Trump is but can assign agents, who by their own standards and job description, must be willing and able to "cover" the people they're charged with protecting - with their own Make it make sense.

[cherylgardiner]

There should not be this level of incompetence in the secret service, What a disgrace she needs to be fired .

[LaviniaPolson]

Take away her, her pension and charge her. Her pension should go to the families that got killed as well as those who got injured. She does not deserve that job cuz she does not care. As an American . THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE TELLING YOU YOU GUYS WE WANT HER FIRED IMMEDIATELY.

She was behind this. How disgusting this is. How can we believe anything that our government is telling us if you don't fire her and charge her. Make her hold accountable!!!

[nickf]

She is not only incompetent, but bellgerent too?? WTF. Needs to be removed from duty immediately.

[brandynrudolph]

I want her fired! The stonewalling is BS!

[buryitdeep]

She wants another 60 more days to get answers? Put her in jail until the answers come out.

[joehyundaitech]

3 female agents on the stage with trump looked about 5 feet tall and were unable to drag and or carry trump

[skydiver]

This woman is the most incompetent person in the Secret Service. How did she ever get that job? DEI, that's how.

[WellsLarry]

She's not quitting because she needs to stay in the game to hide the truth.

[philderrick]

Of all the years of my life, and watching hearings over the years, Cheatle is the most alarming thing I have ever seen, after watching this entire hearing, it is very obvious that she is following orders from Merrick Garland to not answer questions. We have a very very serious problem in this country with our government agencies. This is darker than I could have ever imagined.

[sharkbros.]

The Director of the Secret Service does NOT know how tall Trump

[AerodynamicAlex]

I am loving this grill session. But let’s be real. She’s not in charge and is being guided by other actors. What a complete air head.
