During a recent hearing where Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle was testifying about the response to the Trump rally shooting, Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., expressed frustration at what she perceived as a lack of seriousness on Cheatle's part. Mace criticized Cheatle for not providing satisfactory answers to basic questions, such as the number of Secret Service agents present at the event. Mace's comments suggested a level of dissatisfaction with Cheatle's handling of the situation.
Similarly, Rep. Pete Sessions, R-Texas, echoed Mace's sentiments, stating that both Republican and Democratic members of Congress were not receiving the answers they sought from Cheatle. Sessions highlighted Cheatle's 28-year tenure with the agency but criticized her for failing to address the issues at hand and for allegedly hiding behind the agency instead of taking responsibility for the situation.
