Rally security failure has Secret Service at odds with local law enforcement

The attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump – the worst security failure by the US Secret Service in four decades – has pitted the agency against local law enforcement as both say the other was responsible for securing the building where the gunman perched. CNN’s Whitney Wild reports. #CNN #News

The "sloped" roof was a problem? Apparently a 20 year old kid with a rifle had no problem. What a bizarre statement.

[namastemcl]

Secret Service was responsible for this whole thing pointing the blame at local law enforcement is so weak

[woundedcrow]

There’s been a decrease in accountability in America. It’s to the point of being a public safety issue.

[ElectroCouture]

Are we serious about the "slope" of the roof? Are they really rolling with that as the excuse?!

[sgohoub]

The Head of the Secret Service needs to step down.

What does taking responsibility even mean? Are people losing their jobs or what?

[VinylAthletes]

Secret Service deleted january 6th text messages too. They seem to be largely incompetent.

[charlesritter]

Apparently all their drones were out for repair.

[MichaelSnyder]

Secret service doesn't do any sweeping beyond 100 yards? That seems unfathomable

[SeanBreen-ngzy]

Evidence is already out that this wasn’t security failure but intended.

[pushmlm]

We suspect foul play in the Secret Service

[karlblackwell]

Secret Service clearly dropped the ball and should take total responsibility.

[jjrcclub]

It's contradicting that they say it's a slope roof and it's not safe for secret service to be on that roof yet the roof that they're currently on is also slopped. Wth?! BS excuses to give people answers. Not acceptable!!!

[tonyd]

They saw this guy 30 minutes before. Why didn't they pull Trump off stage then? Hmmmm

[aliasif]

Trump needs to hire his own security team.

[mostlyanchors]

When are y’all going to accept your share of the blame for this? CNN has been fanning this fire for years.

[fredgonzalez]

That was a massive failure of the FJB administration.

[spikey]

Its a sloped roof people come on, i don’t want my agents to get hurt from tripping on a “sloped roof” 😂

[TheRetiredtech]

Obviously the biggest failure was communication.

Luckily our Donald Trump stayed safe. He's a great man.
