Summary
A U.S. House hearing on the Secret Service’s response to assassination attempts against Donald Trump devolved into a shouting match between acting director Ronald Rowe and Rep. Pat Fallon (R-TX).
Fallon accused Rowe of endangering President Biden and Vice President Harris for a photo op during a 9/11 event, which Rowe denied, calling the accusations politically motivated.
The hearing follows criticism of the Secret Service for failing to prevent the July attack on Trump, which killed an attendee.
Rowe admitted to “abject failure” and outlined reforms, including drone surveillance and better coordination with local authorities.
A final taskforce report is forthcoming.
Everybody involved with that first attempt on Trump’s life deserves to be yelled at at the very least. I hate to say it but that was just a klusterfuk.
The only one I want to yell at about putting in some more training time at the range isn’t in any shape to listen anymore.
True he was definitely the biggest fuck up there that day
You do better, damn.
