Fox News host Jesse Watters demands a Congressional investigation into the alleged assassination attempt on former President Trump, citing "seconds away from a live execution."
Fox News host Jesse Watters expressed outrage over the alleged assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump, emphasizing the urgent need for a comprehensive Congressional investigation. Watters' strong condemnation comes amid a lack of apparent consequences for the Secret Service following the incident.
"We were seconds away from a live execution of a presidential frontrunner," Watters asserted. "The Secret Service director isn't being fired, isn't resigning, and promises it won't happen again. How do we know her internal investigation isn't going to be a cover-up?"
Watters: "Seconds Away" from a Presidential Assassination
The host pointed out the potential bias of the Secret Service in conducting an internal investigation, given previous controversies surrounding the agency's handling of Trump's protection. He cited the destruction of text messages from January 6th and the incident involving cocaine use at the White House as examples of questionable conduct.
Watters highlighted the need for transparency and public accountability, calling for an open House select committee to probe the assassination attempt. He emphasized the importance of hearing testimony under oath and bringing in key figures, such as the counter snipers and witnesses, for a thorough examination of the incident.
"Take this out of the hands of the feds and conduct hearings under oath on live television," Watters urged. "Bring in the counter snipers. Bring in Cheatle. Bring in Crooks’ pop."
The host assured viewers that his program, "Primetime," would relentlessly pursue the truth and expose any potential cover-up attempts. Watters vowed to hold those responsible accountable and ensure that such a near-tragedy never occurs again.
Congressional Republicans have echoed Watters' calls for a select committee, recognizing the gravity of the situation. The alleged assassination attempt has raised serious concerns about the security measures and protocols in place for presidential protection. A thorough and independent investigation is crucial to address these concerns and restore public confidence in the Secret Service.
