In a hearing before the House Oversight Committee regarding the attempted assassination of former President and Republican nominee for president Donald Trump, US Congresswoman Nancy Mace chastised Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle.
During a hearing by the House Oversight Committee on the attempt on the life of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Monday, US Representative Nancy Mace sharply criticized Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle.
Asking a series of yes-or-no questions, Mace criticized the head of the Secret Service department for being “dishonest” and called out Cheatle, who is pressured to step down from the Democratic and Republican parties.
What US Representative Says to Kimberly Cheatle
Nancy Mace uncovered five significant details regarding the gunman’s attack on former President Donald Trump on July 13 during a rally in Pennsylvania. During the hearing, Kimberly Cheatle acknowledged that the attack was “preventable” and a “colossal failure” in a yes-or-no manner.
Before her appearance before the committee, the US Congresswoman questioned the director of the U.S. Secret Service about how her opening remarks for the hearing were leaked to the media. Kimberly Cheatle said, “No idea” in response.
“Well, that’s bulls***,” remarked Nancy Mace.
The US Congresswoman persisted in questioning the head of the Secret Service on whether the federal agency was open and complied with all of the committee’s requests surrounding the shooting of Trump.
Kimberly Cheatle said, “I’ll have to get back to you on that.”
After receiving the same response from the Secret Service three times, Nancy Mace confronted the chief, calling her a “full of s***”.
Congresswoman “You’re just being completely dishonest,” she continued.
To impeach Kimberly Cheatle, Nancy Mace filed a privileged motion on Monday. As a result, the leadership must take action on the resolution within two legislative days.
Nancy Mace Tweets a Video
“WATCH as we file a privileged motion to remove Kim Cheatle, the director of the Secret Service. Nancy Mace tweeted a video of herself making the motion during the hearing along with the statement, “Historians have never voted on the impeachment of a lower-ranking civil officer, but these historic times call for historic measures.”
Legislators are investigating security failings at the rally and how a gunman could climb to a roof and get so near to a former president and the Republican Party’s nominee for the White House this year. The shooting has led to intense criticism of the Secret Service, particularly Kimberly Cheatle.
But Kimberly Cheatle has turned down requests for her resignation from both parties.
The top Democrat, Jamie Raskin, and the Republican chair of the US House of Representatives Oversight Committee, James Comer, have both called for the resignation of the head of the Secret Service. The two lawmakers are often at odds on most issues.
