I don’t think I can remember someone getting dragged by both sides like this.

[fanbutton]

Wokeness doesn’t work in this setting…..

Based on the performance of the Director at this hearing she should It is leadership at the time of the incident, after the incident, and the end result of the incident that define you as a leader and manager.

How could she become a director of the secret service?

[pranjalvw]

She's answering like a politician who written her script from Chat GPT 😂

[breezybreeze]

She needs to be fired and investigated

[StirFryChicken]

This is the Director of the Secret Service?! HA!

[AMERICA]

Even STEVIE WONDER --- would have known that LINE of SIGHT Rooftop --- was a BIG security risk !

[AuroraWolf]

Or accept the fact that some people really really don’t like trump

[alexsong]

Those are by no means harsh questions. In fact, basic questions. The director came in determining not answering any question on that day.

She was drinking coffee at cafe at the time😅

WHERE IS THE SECRET SERVICE AUDIO AND VIDEO TO SHED
LIGHT ON THE TIMELINE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED JULY 13

[GiuseppeCivitella-goih]

I will say that it’s truly regrettable that she has to take responsibility for this mishap.She was nowhere near the field where this happened and someone obviously didn’t cover all the peripheral area in order to protect Donald.However it’s only normal that she has to resign although she has nothing to do with what happened.

[olivermiller]

She didnt want to answer ANY questions. That was a complete waste of time

[PacisRomanus]

It wasn't just a fail, it was complete negligence, possible intentional. Its not out of bounds to launch an investigation into the security detail and especially the director.

Shock-Denial-Acceptance., only ten days later., a rush.

[MikePoulson-qtme]

They told their own sniper to stand down, when he didn't they fired him. Sounds like the Secret Service was behind the whole thing.
