A Congressman from Central Florida is criticizing the Secret Service in the wake of security failings related to the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
“This is the key question,” said U.S. Rep. Mike Waltz. “Were additional Secret Service resources requested and then denied?”
The legislator’s take is that for some time now, the protection of the former President has been less of a priority than it should have been.
“I’m being told by agents directly that more broadly, they’ve been requesting more for President Trump over the last few years and they’ve been denied for budget reasons and she hasn’t been quick to answer many of these questions,” Waltz said on the Fox News Channel’s “Cavuto Live.”
Secret Service head Kimberly Cheatle will have to answer some of those questions from Waltz and others Monday.
She will appear in front of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, at the Committee’s hearing titled “Oversight of the U.S. Secret Service and the Attempted Assassination of President Donald J. Trump.”
“Americans demand answers from Director Kimberly Cheatle about the Secret Service’s historic security failures that led to the attempted assassination of President Trump, murder of an innocent victim, and harm to others in the crowd. We look forward to Director Cheatle’s testimony on Monday, July 22 to deliver the transparency and accountability that Americans deserve,” said Chairman James Comer of Kentucky.

Mike is a newbie and doesn’t recall or know about the numerous embarrassing and dangerous behavior of Secret Service while Obama was President. This is an agency — in spite of female director — that is partly comprised of alpha males and party boys who can’t or won’t do their jobs and need to be on the street looking for work.
Read Carol Leonnig’s 2021 book Zero Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service. She is a longtime WaPo journalist. (Not that Mike cares about the facts.)

Most of the violent armed crazies are in Trump’s base.
In general, he needs less protection than others.

“Because I’m being told by agents…”
That, right there, sounds like bullshit.
Let’s see if he has those agents testify at the hearing.

Of course, if there weren’t so many more guns than people… and if the republican party would stop obstructing sensible gun regulations, we would not have this problem.
Gun violence is now the leading cause of death in young people and adolescents. In what universe is that acceptable?

I find that highly unlikely.

I think all private candidates other than active sitting presidents or presidents in transition should have to pay for their own security. Especially since they’re all billionaires now and bought and paid for by special interests. I don’t know why taxpayers should have to pay security for every living ex president, vice president, and other high level cabinet members and senators. It’s atrocious because these people seem to live forever and they all get rich off government anyway. Maybe if they had to focus on their own security they might make better decisions for average americans. I know my opinion is in the minority. But to me it just doesn’t make sense. Everyone should hire their own security.
