Fox News host Jesse Watters calls for the entire Pittsburgh field office of the Secret Service to be put on administrative leave after a shocking admission that former President Trump was not provided counter-snipers for the past two years, leaving him vulnerable to an assassination attempt.
In a bombshell revelation that has sent shockwaves through the nation, the U.S. Secret Service has admitted that former President Donald Trump was not provided with Secret Service counter-sniper teams at his campaign rallies for the past two years. This shocking confession came during the agency's first press conference since the assassination attempt on Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Fox News host Jesse Watters, reacting to the news, demanded that the entire Pittsburgh field office be placed on administrative leave. He expressed outrage that Trump, who has been repeatedly targeted by Democrats and the media as a threat to democracy, was left unprotected.
Secret Service Fails to Protect Trump: Former President Miraculously Escapes Assassination Attempt
Watters highlighted several instances where Trump was exposed to vulnerable situations without counter-snipers, including his daily trips to Trump Tower from the Manhattan courtroom, his visit to the Bronx, and his trip to a bodega in Harlem.
The Secret Service's decision to suddenly provide counter-snipers at the Butler rally, where the assassination attempt occurred, has raised questions about the agency's priorities. The intelligence community's claim that the Iranian threat prompted the counter-sniper deployment is doubtful, as Trump has been the target of an Iranian fatwa for over four years.
Moreover, the Secret Service's claim that they had constant communication using the latest technology has also been debunked. Investigations have revealed that the counter-sniper team in Butler did not have radios that day.
A veteran Secret Service agent has called for the firing of the agency's leadership, alleging a cover-up. Trump himself has expressed his belief that the agents who swarmed him after the shooting were not his regular detail, but rather a group of untrained field agents.
The failures of the Secret Service in protecting Trump have raised serious concerns about the agency's competence. The potential ramifications of these failures are chilling, as the lack of counter-snipers could have easily resulted in Trump's assassination.
Watters emphasized that voters have a responsibility to ensure that a thorough investigation of the assassination attempt is conducted. He urged voters to support candidates who will commit to declassifying information about the incident.
As the nation grapples with the implications of the Secret Service's failures, it is imperative that accountability be ensured and the truth be brought to light. The lives of our elected officials and the safety of our democracy depend on it.
