She is so smart.

A couple of congress critters used their time to talk about gun control and the fallacy of DEI-criticisms.

ETA: And, of course, racism.

It is painful listening to this professional avoider of questions. I guess that's her core competency as the figurehead of an agency that might have some explaining to do.

I would bet a lot of money that he was acting alone. This director doesn't need a reason to deflect questions to others.

Why can’t you answer the damn question?

Horace

The distance between her claim that the buck stops with her, and her inability to answer any questions or take any responsibility for any specific decisions, is just monumental and pathetic.

What the actual fuck?

Dumpster fire of an incident, dumpster fire of a coverup. I guess she'll stay until the news cycle moves on, then she'll resign.

I dunno, the heat will be high on this one.

Dumpster. Fire.

And it will not be a "tweak or two" to fix this. This is a culture of laziness and apathy. A pathetic bureaucracy was directing boots on the ground secret service duties.

From my understanding, it isn't unusual to "rely" upon local police for perimeter work, BUT it would seem highly appropriate to dedicate at least one Secret Service staff member to be a liaison AND be present to coordinate with the local police.
