She is just the sacrificial lamb for this. The real culprits have yet to be made to be accountable.

[PC-eetz]

She still did NOT earn back her dignity from me. She should have resigned on the next day.

Here's a novel idea, Hire the best people for the job no matter who they are, white, black, Asian, Latino etc. Just the best person for the job how hard is that... SMH

[kimpeter]

She should have been fired and prosecuted for criminal negligence. A patriot was killed and 3 were wounded.

[PuppyLuvU]

Can't wait for criminal charges to start coming for her.

[sinclairj]

“You’re full of $hi1 today”
Case closed lol

[michaelDsherman]

Represents how awful America is becoming with unqualified people in positions of power

[daleadoherty]

She knows what the world knows. This was all planned and we all know who is really behind it. She's the one that will take accountability.

[BullseyeBob]

There’s a whole lotta criminal activity going on and it isn’t just Cheatle.

[fridaplata]

She should be Charged with Second degree murder

Who cares about her resignation, how about a thorough investigation into who got her to get those agents to stand down and allow the kid to get 3 shots off... It's obvious they already knew he was there on that roof with that rifle.

[shanegalloway]

It’s probably because she had something to do with it and she knew she was about to be thrown in jail. There’s no reason why snipers couldn’t have been on that roof. I’ve seen snipers be in a lot worse conditions than a slightly slanted roof. Gtfo

[brianstuart]

I wonder how long it will be before Cheadle drowns, gets in a fatal car wreck, or just mysteriously disappears. Maybe she wasn’t a pawn…possibly a bishop or castle??

[Elguapoelchapo]

We don’t want her resignation, we want her in prison.

[kenwhitfield]

Unfortunately, we have not heard the last word on this disaster.

[craigfaulk]

She couldn't handle the questions from the House she sure can't handle the Job she was handed !!! 🤬

[chrisfloto]

She still needs convicted. Criminal negligence at a minimum if not first degree murder and some attempted murders.

[TAROTSUPERNOVA]

THIS IS RIDICULOUS IF IT WAS ONE OF US CITIZENS
IT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT STORY
WE WOULD BE BEHIND BARS.

[GaryBrevig-jz]

She should be in jail along with the rest of the crooks
