Republican senators confronted Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday over the attempted assassination of former President Trump on Saturday, telling her that they owe the people and the president "answers."
Video shows Sens. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., and John Barrasso, R-Wyo., confronting Cheatle in Milwaukee. Sens. James Lankford, R-Okla., and Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., were also involved.
"Stonewalling," Barrasso can be heard yelling at Cheatle as she moves through the convention center.
"This was an assassination attempt, you owe the people answers, you owe President Trump answers," Blackburn said.
In a separate longer video, the senators can be seen questioning Cheatle. In response to their questions, she says that it isn't an appropriate place to have the discussion, but says she is happy to answer questions, before leaving the suite. It is at that point she is yelled at by the lawmakers.

Why was Cheeto in Milwaukee?
I don’t think she is going to switch teams. In case SS screws up again, she can say she was there and tried to get it right, or something equally worthless.
>> Why was Cheeto in Milwaukee?
My question too!
I don’t want her anywhere near Donald trump as far as I’m concerned she and Biden ordered this done I don’t want her to get another chance to finish the job
Those gasbags are big talkers when the red light of the camera is on.
In DC the first rule of personal safety is never get between a senator and a tv camera, you will get run over in a hurry.
Just watched a 4:15 min video clip of this on Twitter.

Remember Gavin Newsom sends his kids to private schools in California.
So the Secret Service needs to become a private organization.
If I wanted to be magnanimous, I could say maybe she is a bungler. But my guess is she will try to shift the blame.
Thanks for the link. That video gives more context to the confrontation.
Why the hell was she there.??

That woman should have resigned 2 days ago. It’s a disgrace.
I’ve had a little time to think about this and I still haven’t figured out what in the world she was doing there. If it was to stick her toe in the political water to see what the temperature was, she was lucky not to lose the whole foot.
One apparent cell phone video showed the GOP people literally chasing her including up an escalator. Wish I had the link.
Great video!!!!
This is what should happen. Bravo.
These people need to be publicly mocked and scorned.
She may not be switching teams. She may be trying to save herself. She may know only that she was given specific orders to implement, and she did. Now she sees the outcome. Her getting thrown under the bus might be the least of her problems. Where is the safest place for her in a criminal administration that is imploding? She has been ordered not to go speak to Congress on Monday…by Mayorkas…so who is she going to run into at the RNC? We know she ran into Senators…Mike Johnson is there, Hell practically every Republican office holder is there.. Trump is there, most of his next cabinet is there. How does she go there without answering their questions?
She goes there and suddenly Biden heads home with “COVID”. There is no reason for her to be there except to talk to the people the admin has tried to stop her from talking to.
This might be the biggest shit hit the fan moment in American history.
Did she go there to speak with Trump?
We were thinking the same thing....wow
See my #17
