Secret Service Director Faces Bipartisan Calls to Resign

“How can a 20-year-old with his father’s AR-15 assault weapon climb onto a roof with a direct 150 yard line of sight to the speaker’s podium without the Secret Service or local police stopping him?” “I would like to know those answers as well, which is why we are going through these investigations to be able to determine that fully.” “Can you answer why the Secret Service didn’t place a single agent on the roof?” ”We are still looking into the advanced process and the decisions that were made.” ”OK, OK. How many Secret Service agents were assigned to President Trump on the day of the rally?” ”Again, I’m not going to get into the specifics of the numbers of personnel.” ”Do you really plan to keep avoiding questions and the American people’s questions — ours and the American people’s questions — for the next 60 days?” ”I’m not avoiding questions. I want to make sure that I am providing factual and accurate information.” ”Certainly. But is there no in between?” ”Do you really believe that the majority of this country has confidence in you right now?” ”I believe that the country deserves answers, and I am committed to finding those answers and providing those answers.” ”Well, look, I believe, Director Cheatle, that you should resign.” ”You should have come today ready to give us answers. I call upon you to resign today — today.” ”I will be joining the chairman in calling for the resignation of the director. The director has lost the confidence of Congress at a very urgent and tender moment in the history of the country.” ”This committee is not known for its model of bipartisanship, but I think today we came together unanimously in our disappointment for your lack of answers.”
