Eric Trump blasted Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, calling on her to resign after his father, former President Donald Trump, was nearly assassinated at a Pennsylvania rally.
Eric Trump joined the chorus of Republicans calling on Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to resign after security failures enabled former President Trump's attempted assassin to open fire at a Pennsylvania rally last weekend, killing one and injuring others. ' should resign in absolute disgrace,' he told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo on Sunday.
The fact that the Biden administration could allow a former president, and very likely a future president, to take a bullet through the ear, and there is no accountability… and the person is still in their job just shows how disgraceful and inept this administration is. She should be out of a job. They should put somebody in there that's competent.
The former President was on stage at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13th when 20-year-old gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire, wounding Trump's ear as well as critically injuring spectators and killing firefighter Corey Comperatore. In the days since, security failures leading up to and during the event have come under intense scrutiny from Republican lawmakers, including Sens. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn, John Barrasso, R-Wyo., James Lankford, R-Okla., and Kevin Cramer, R-N.D.
Cheatle is slated to appear before the House Oversight Committee on Capitol Hill on Monday as lawmakers continue to seek answers on how Crooks was able to get so close to the former President and fire multiple shots before being taken out by a sniper. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP
