The SS Director needs to resign. She dropped the ball and made SS agents look incompetent.

[tony]

What about them knowing a hour before Trump was to speak that someone suspicious was lurking around and still gave the ok for Trump to speak.I'm not an expert we all have our opinions but I think it should have at least been delayed if not canceled.

[disciple]

He didn't offer any information of value to the conversation. It seems like he was the PR spokesman for the Secret Service.

[frankseprino]

As he admitted, THE SECURITY PLAN ...FAILED! ACCOUNTABILITY TIME!

[twothreefour]

Incompetence is no excuse. Some jobs require being done correctly.... every time. Who do these people think they are? Boeing?

[truepatriot]

Whistle blowers have come foreward saying most of the SS detail were not SS they were DHS BUT NOT TRAINED

[ryan]

The secret service knew a man was on the roof for 20 minutes and allowed Trump to go on stage.

Americans are awake, no need to worry much longer. 🙏🏻🇺🇸❤️

So Whistleblowers told Senator Hawley that a number of Trump's Secret Service detail were not Secret Service at all, but pulled from Dept of Homeland Security Investigations Unit. Who were they? What SS training were they given? How many protecting Trump that day were DEI (diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) hires? How many protecting Trump were not official Secret Service Agents but rather substitutions from other departments?

[ronrubacher]

Collectively the security detail did a horrible job.

[jaydee]

Anyone that puts their life on the line for another deserves all of our praise. The shooter allowed on the roof with a gun is another matter entirely.

[kenrobison]

No drones in the sky to oversee the event? Why?

[philobetto]

''They're doing a really good job?'' A bullet went thru President Trumps ear...

[allanrose]

Moe, Larry and Curley were in charge of security.

[VegasMoe]

any particular reason a SS person would happen to have a white washcloth on them at a Trump rally? you'll see it at 1:35 do SS agents carry white washcloths in their pockets? I'd understand having a handkerchief, but a white washcloth?

[jeffjenkins]

Don't point at which Secret Service personnel? The honest ones or the crooked ones? And... how do we tell which is which? Secret service must be complicit. There is no other option

[colonelkurtz]

The " Fumbling Fumbelinas " 😅😂

[t.daniel]

There is a big difference between being accountable and being responsible. People within the Secret service were definitely involved in this plot..

[doobytvtheanti-tvoffakenew]

Bad interview, he does not address any of the concerns.

[drgolfjim]

Why is NBC suddenly running nice pieces on Trump?
