    Kimberly Cheatle should not be allowed to resign, she needs to be fired.
  • @JohnTarnished
    I guess bringing a range finder to a rally a president is speaking at is not suspicious behavior
  • @johng69er
    The keeping secrets service The most hostile witness 'interview' of all time ?! She is emotionless
  • @YsMining
    when i have my lies in check, i will come back and tell you all then...
  • @Scooter730
    So 9 days later and she doesn't have a full report??? Wtf??
  • I've watched a few of the different videos and heard the responses. It's like watching someone try to fly a plane that isn't a pilot. The obvious point is that she had no business being in that position and should not be there now. She didn't know what she was doing on that day and she doesn't know what to do in these hearings. That my tax dollars are employing her is maddening. Every single agent she authorized for hire needs to be re-screened and the agency needs an audit.
  • Take her security away and let the streets take care of what the GOV is too incompetent to do …
  • @TheLaceylou92
    Why do they keep asking her if more guns make the job harder, as if the crowd had guns? If someone in the crowd DID have a gun, Crooks woulda been taken out the second he climbed on that roof!
  • @Elohims1
    Three Questions for Ms. Cheater 1. Why did it take SS a half hour to address the shooter after being told about him? 2. Because there was a shooter, why did the SS Not Stop Trump from going on stage??? 3. Who choriographed the SS and local police's orders?
  • @dselleno
    At least she answered the last question, and didn't give in to the gun control question.
  • @FreeBird_6791
    Can Congress have her back for questioning when their investigation is over?
  • @Eric-jy8ec
    20 year old acned individual with a drone was able to outsmart an agency with a budget reaching over a billion of dollars, wow
  • @jefris
    Cheatle is cheating. She's good at that.
  • @283AngelArch
    @3:00 This woman has NO IDEA what is going on in her own department. She needs to be fired immediately.
  • Crooks was just the "patsie!" He did NOT act alone......................it's obvious!!!
  • @amysnews6808
    I didn't see AOC's entire interview but what I did see she made probably the only wise statement or asked the only wise question I've ever heard come from her. She pointed out that the AR15 is the most popular rifle in America and has been used in previous high profile shootings. It has a given range of accuracy of 400-600 yards. Knowing that a person seeking to commit an a**ass¡n**ion like this guy tried to do is highly likely to choose that weapon. Considering that why was it not already standard procedure for secret service to secure any and all points within that range that had a clear line of site to the event? I mean when AOC can figure it out but you didn't you know you screwed up. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
  • This woman gives me local school administration vibes, not someone who is heading up the secret service. She's 100% got to be a diversity hire.
  • @nyfinest017
    I applied to the Secret Service, and to be honest, I'm glad I didn't get selected. Clearly, the agenda and the incompetence of the director are shocking.
  • @mustafakemal718
    Cheatle is a very capable lady.She has an excellent track record of protecting potato bags for Pepsico.
