‘Failure of historic magnitude’: Congressman rips into Secret Service director

Published 2024-07-22
US Congressman Gary Palmer has ripped into Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle over her failure regarding the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

“I don’t understand how you can continue to stay in the position you are in when this was a failure of historic magnitude,” Mr Palmer said during a committee hearing.

“43 years without anything like this happening, and you failed in this case in a spectacular way.”

    You could not trust her to organize security every again, especially for a Republican. She has to be sacked immediately.
