The secret service has not been very good lately. Remember in the Obama era. Someone jumped the fence and made it all the way into the White House?

[MK-ojol]

Not a fan of Trump, but Eric is right in that serious questions need to be answered. Unacceptable.

[American.Patriot]

They may be great ppl individually, but they still failed professionally as a team.

[crystalh]

Just because they are wonderful people doesn’t mean that they are competent in their job.

[danielsiegel]

They failed no matter how great you think they are...

[markman]

What about the madman there on stage with the microphone?

[khidirney]

Who ever allowed a mad orange man on stage, America needs to ask themselves some very serious questions ?

[augustwalsh]

Closest Eric Trump will ever come to love

[michaelryan]

They might be great people. Nice dinner guests. Good conversation. POOR, POOR FIREARM HANDLING SKILLS!

[jackblakk]

A blind person could see "The Ball was Dropped!" But I get it.

[bturner]

Eric. They allowed 5 shots to go off before they even stepped foot on the stage. They failed

[ermeriodsassperini]

We all know what you're trying to do. You want to put the blame solely on the Secret Service and the current Administration. I agree 100%, but those two or three females we're noticeably unprepared and looked incompetent. I'm sure they're good people, but they shouldn't be doing this job

[davidmccain]

Hey Eric, I thought you guys only blamed the shooter when these things happen to regular people....???

[sweepingbeauty]

Pennsylvania is an open carry state. I am not a gun owner, and honestly don't understand the laws involving firearms. But doesn't that mean the shooter lawfully could have his gun out in the open? Like he did?

[JamesRamey-ru]

This was a cowardly response from Eric that shows that the Trump administration isn't a serious about is accountability as they are saying

[nqi]

They're not going to throw them under the bus in public

[ronscott]

Who cares what Eric has to say about anything.

[elphbwckd]

Whoever allowed it...? The secret service was in charge of all the swcurity. So, if anyone allowed it, it was them.

[Amy-tff]

The word is courage, Eric, not "courageousness". How much money was wasted on your higher education? 🙄

[lawrence]

Were those guys in black suits really Secret Service or trumps hired security? They sure d8dnt preform like Secret Service.
