Rep. Brendan Boyle, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, has joined the chorus of voices calling for US Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to step down following the recent attempt to assassinate former President Donald Trump. The Secret Service is under scrutiny for allowing a gunman to get a clear line of sight to Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania.
Boyle expressed his lack of confidence in Cheatle's leadership, citing what he described as unacceptable operational failures. He stated, 'The evidence coming to light has shown unacceptable operational failures. I have no confidence in the leadership of the United States Secret Service if Director Cheatle chooses to remain in her position.'
