  • @midlodan90
    Shes needs to be investigated for facilitating an assassination attempt seems like they allowed it to happen in hopes he was sucessful
  • @rubyrose24881
    Shouldn’t she face some kind of criminal charges for negligence considering that a person was killed and people were injured?

    DEI keeps failing. Harvard, Disney, the military, school, the government, etc.
  • @dre1456

  • @mattheww8059
    Secret Service, Director Kimberly Cheatle resigns, now what's scary her replacement said “I won't miss”
  • @DORAEMON-bw8jk
    The shooter's name is Crooks and and the director's name is Cheatle. How ironic.
  • She has no right resigning and getting all the benefits that come with it! She should have been fired!
  • @ljre3397
    I’m not sure exactly why she wouldn’t answer questions. Very strange. She should have resigned on July 14th.
  • @DomoDolo
    "We failed" in your attempt to kill Trump lol
  • @kenamaro3942
    That still doesn't absolve her for the murder of one and three injured.
  • @martonfitness
    She should have been FIRED. Investigate her. Do a private investigation.
