Secret Service director, grilled by lawmakers on the Trump assassination attempt, says 'we failed'

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle said Monday that her agency failed in its mission to protect former President Donald Trump during a highly contentious congressional hearing with lawmakers of both major political parties demanding she resign over security failures that allowed a gunman to scale a roof and open fire at a campaign rally.

The only ones who didn’t take the opportunity to ask her questions took the opportunity to instead rant about getting rid of guns. ASK HER QUESTIONS

[keithfelux]

Putting another law on guns won't stop people from owning/acquiring them. So stupid.

As a Resident)of Pennsylvania, Give Them their Names, Miss Kimberly talking !!!! FIRE HER immediately

This refusal to respond to EVERY question regarding the secret service lack of response only excel everyone’s fear of a planned assassination. A new director is in order. The SS lack of reaction is an embarrassment and heartache to all citizens.

[sybilchoate]

Refusal to answer every question only uncreased our fears of planned assassination .

It’s all theater. Congress- These hearings result in no accountability.
Q: Who’s investigating the 3 letter Feds?
A: The 3 letter Feds. 🎭

Nothing but a dog and pony show no one will be fired for this gross negligence. And the arrogance of this sorry excuse for A director is amazing

She says Secret Service had “over watch” of the rooftop, today the new acting director said they couldn’t see the shooter on the roof. Can’t have it both ways.

When somebody is actively lying his/her tongue dries out and has to keep drinking water all the time. Did you notice the many bottles of water?

[keithfelux]

They find it astonishing that a 20-year-old can have access to a hunting rifle, not an assault rifle. However, leaving troops behind in Afghanistan and having them get killed, then lying about is ok. Hmmmm I think it would be beneficial for them to reexamine their way of thinking.

WHY DOES SHE KEEP SMIRKING? FIRE or IMPRISON this woman now.

[jlupian]

You can see by the way she handles herself you leave her alone 😔

[mattsnyder]

Completely disgraceful, she should be escorted out the building and put in prison...we all can see through her lies...investigate what. The fact that she cannot answer a single question, is justifiable for a guilty person in such powerful administration should be indicated

[DavidMosesMBisda]

It's better we extend security personnel and most off all threats must be neutralize and also we don't tolerate such things

57:32 Slim Shady song “It wasn’t me”? Pretty sure that woman referenced 2 different songs as one, smh 😂😂😂.

Allocation of assets is dependent on the importance of subject to be protected .

[kellyflatt]

Sadly what everyone is overlooking is the director is not in charge of the team. She probably doesn’t know this herself. The group behind the curtain calling the shots are anonymous and we will only know what they want put out.

[crowznest]

Too many people are off topic with their own agendas.

[ursulaglissmann]

Congress grills everybody but nobody gets cooked.

Aww sad, this vid cuts out immediately before the comment “that’s what we call a smackdown.”
