Fox News host Jesse Watters gives his take on the assassination attempt on former President Trump. Watters argues that the Secret Service was ill-prepared and that there are too many unanswered questions about the incident.
In the wake of the assassination attempt on former President Trump, questions linger about the role of the Secret Service and the circumstances surrounding the incident. Fox News host Jesse Watters has been a vocal critic of the Secret Service's handling of the situation, arguing that they were ill-prepared and that there are too many unanswered questions.

One of the most troubling aspects of the incident, according to Watters, is the fact that the shooter was able to climb a ladder onto a roof, mount a rifle, and unload eight rounds at Trump from 130 yards. This raises questions about the Secret Service's security arrangements, as well as their ability to respond to an active shooter situation.
Watters also questioned why the Secret Service did not account for the building from which the shots were fired when they surveyed the site of the rally. He also wondered why there were no counter-snipers on that roof, and why it took eight rounds to ring out before somebody returned fire.

Sources tell "Primetime" that the counter-sniper team that neutralized Crooks were Secret Service sharpshooters, but the Washington Post reports that the counter-snipers were local cops. If that's true, Watters asks, why is the Secret Service relying so heavily on locals?
Watters also noted that the FBI is denying a report that a local police officer saw Crooks climb the roof and confronted him, only to have Crooks point his rifle at him and the officer retreated. This is weird, Watters argues, because the FBI never comments on active investigations.
Overall, Watters believes that there are too many unanswered questions about the assassination attempt on Trump, and that the Secret Service needs to be held accountable. He also believes that the American people deserve to know the truth about what happened, and that the Secret Service needs to make changes to ensure that something like this does not happen again.
