Secret Service leadership is covering up its failures in allowing an assassin’s bullet to strike Donald Trump, Sen. Marco Rubio told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview from the Republican National Convention.“I was actually watching, I was watching it live,” Rubio told Breitbart Washington Bureau Chief Matt Boyle. “And my impression – you know, you see this thing and it takes a second for your brain to process it.
Rubio made clear the failures were unacceptable. “I don’t have to be an expert at Secret Service to know that there is no way in the world some kid with a rifle should be on a roof 150 yards away at an open rally from the president. There just shouldn’t be. And that’s the responsibility of the Secret Service.”
Boyle pointed out that Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle is in Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention. Rubio’s fellow Sens. John Barrasso and Marsha Blackburn confronted her Wednesday evening after she had refused to answer their questions about the failures responsible for Saturday’s assassination attempt.
Boyle referenced a conference call between Cheatle, the FBI Director, and Senators Wednesday where reports indicate Cheatle ended the call without taking questions from Senators. He said the Secret Service’s key mission is preventing destructive political assassinations, “and they failed in that mission. They’re trying to cover that up. And I think they’re trying to find who else to blame.”
