CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JULY 24, 2024
IF YOU THINK MOST PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON LIE OR COVER-UP THEIR FAILURES, YOU WOULD NOT BE FAR FROM THE TRUTH.
THE DIRECTOR OF THE SECRET SERVICE, KIMBERLY CHEATLE, TESTIFIED MONDAY BEFORE THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE. SHE CLAIMED IGNORANCE WHEN IT CAME TO DETAILS OF THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. SHE SAID THE REASON AGENTS WERE NOT POSTED ON TOP OF THE BUILDING WHERE THE SHOOTER FIRED HIS WEAPON WAS BECAUSE THE ROOF WAS TOO HOT. CHEATLE SAID SHE TAKES “FULL RESPONSIBILITY” FOR THE SECURITY FAILURE THAT LED TO THE WOUNDING OF TRUMP AND TWO OTHERS, AND THE DEATH OF A RETIRED FIREFIGHTER. SHE WON’T RESIGN. THAT’S NOT THE WAY IT WORKS IN WASHINGTON THESE DAYS. FAILURE IS NOT A REASON FOR RESIGNATION OR FIRING.
AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION IS USUALLY THE CLOAK PEOPLE WRAP AROUND THEMSELVES AND CHEATLE TROTTED THAT ONE OUT. WERE AGENTS SPREAD TOO THIN? CHEATLE SAID THEY WEREN’T. CLEARLY THEY IGNORED WARNINGS FROM SOME IN THE CROWD WHO POINTED TO THE SHOOTER ON THE ROOF IN TIME FOR HIM TO BE CONFRONTED.
THIS WAS A TOTAL SECURITY FAILURE THAT NEARLY COST TRUMP HIS LIFE. SOME ON SOCIAL MEDIA WISH IT HAD. IT CAN ONLY GET NASTIER. I’M CAL THOMAS.
