House Democrats are launching an investigation into President Trump’s treatment of the Secret Service during his bout with the coronavirus.
Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, accused Trump of disregarding the safety of his protective detail when he left Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for a short drive in his limousine to greet supporters who were outside the facility.
Thompson called Trump’s Sunday night trip a “joyride” that risked the health and safety of the agents who had to accompany him on the trip.
“So we can know more about how these events have affected the Secret Service and national security, I have requested a briefing from the agency on the current safeguards in place for their employees — including on the President’s protective detail — and how Secret Service agents can be kept safe from coronavirus-related threats, including apparently the President himself,” Thompson said in a statement.
Trump tweeted that the trip was deemed safe by medical staff at the hospital. An attending physician also accompanied Trump on the drive and wore a mask and other protective equipment.
Trump also wore a mask.
Trump announced on Twitter Monday afternoon that he will be discharged from the hospital and will return to the White House at 6:30 p.m.
clearly this is all turning into a huge win for Trump...my evidence is Juan on The Five, he’s melting down like a 4 year old having a tantrum
Wow!!! Beyond words!!
The DOCTORS said it was safe PERIOD!! They put the SS agents in the SAME PPE worn by Trump doctors the media is a domestic ENEMY of this country!! SCREW FREEDOM of the press they are taking our speech rights away they NEED to be reeled in the LIES have to stop for the sake of our freedoms and country!!!
“Surrounded by Secret Service prepared to take a bullet .”
Dan Bongino called in today to Larry O’Conner’s radio show in DC. He talked about Bammy putting Secret Service lives in danger. Taking them to Afganistan during the war, to Africa were some came down with viruses. He said IT’S THEIR JOB!!
According to the Democrats the Secret Service is not supposed to protect the President because their safety is in danger from bullets and other attacks on the President. I am just applying logic to their argument.
I’m pretty sure this is an impeachable offense.
OMG Juan needs a VALIUM he is completely melting down, I think Trump coming out of this has DESTROYED their narrative and they ARE MELTING!!!
Official business as far as I’m concerned. Not sure what authority the they have anyway. What about Obama’s trips on AF1 to New York for date night and the separate vacations for him and his wife? And how dare you bring up Hunter Biden?
Is not Joe Biden known to start fist fights with his security detail and skinny dip in front of Femalr agents.
Put in mind that in order to be secret service you have to be healthy and fit.
Or “date night” in Manhattan.
I really thought this was a “Bee” article.
Leftism, under all of its brand names, is a severe and violent mental disorder with satanic evil at its core.
Be careful how you phrase your questions about ‘Rat stupidity. They’ll consider it a challenge and go even MORE bat guano nuts.
Everything he says or does triggers them somehow. I believe it's high time we, as a country, seriously consider getting rid of this "Democratic Party" as we know it.
"Stupid", maybe...but they are definitely unAmerican and no longer stand for freedom for the individual. It makes me ill when I even hear Pelosi mention something *we* are doing as being "unConstitional". The saddest part is - I'm sure she knows it is her side being "unConstitutional" and she's doing her best to lie to people like she does.
They are all mostly full of hatred and disrespect for the office of their own President, and who can even count the # of lies we've had to endure from their party and their media?
Since they've turned themselves over to totalitarian Marxists, I'd just like to kick them out and do something different.
The agents are already with him 24/7.
Also, whenever Trump or any president goes somewhere they are a potential target for getting shot.
Which is more dangerous-using their body to shield from bullets or riding in car with virus patient finishing treatment?
Weren't we seeing reports back in the summer that numerous SS agents got COVID?
LOL, these are men and women who are willing to take a bullet for the President. They must be so insulted by this.
Next they can launch an investigation of Biden swimming in the nude in front of female secret service agents. As if.
