Secret Service saw Trump gunman on roof 20 minutes before shooting
After Donald Trump was shot in the ear by a gunman at a campaign stop in Pennsylvania, there were always going to be a lot of questions asked about why the Secret Service wasn't able to prevent this from happening.
We just wish that the Secret Service had some better answers to them.
New reports are indicating that America's Secret Service saw the gunman at least 20 minutes before the first shot was fired. For some reason, Thomas Crooks wasn't stopped.
As a result, Americans have been calling for Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to step down. Many are accusing her of being a diversity hire, something that shouldn't happen in such an important position.
America needs the best and brightest people we can dig up protecting our president, and it's clear that that did NOT happen at Donald Trump's Pennsylvania rally.
First of all, the sniper team was completely out of position, with Cheatle saying that the shooter's roof was left completely unguarded because the the top of the building was sloped which would have made it "dangerous" to protect.
Another question that people are asking is how the people protecting Trump got there in the first place. One of the agents was a woman who appeared to be at least a foot shorter than Donald Trump. the former president's whole body needed to be protected, but Trump's entire head remained exposed as the agent stood in front of him.
If we're hiring people who aren't even tall enough to protect the president to keep him safe, then somebody needs to ask what the director of this agency is doing.
With Kimberly Cheatle not being able to answer any of the questions being asked, Americans are realizing that she simply isn't fit to be in her current position.
