On Thursday, the acting chief of the Secret Service and a senator from North Texas got into a heated argument on Capitol Hill.
During a congressional hearing on the Secret Service’s inability to stop Donald Trump’s attempted assassination, Rep. Pat Fallon (R-Frisco) and acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe got into a heated argument.
At a 9/11 memorial service, Fallon asked Rowe about his involvement in defending then-candidate Trump, President Joe Biden, and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Rowe was accused by Fallon of being adjacent to the leaders even though he wasn’t directly responsible for their protection.
It was a vanity effort, in my opinion. “I believe he was trying out for the position,” said Fallon.
Rowe argued that he attended the function as a sign of respect for the 9/11 victims of the Secret Service.
“Oh. “That’s a lot of horse hockey,” said Fallon.
“Do not invoke 9/11 for political purposes,” Rowe stated.
Rowe recognized the Secret Service’s shortcomings during the previous year and pledged responsibility earlier in the discussion.
According to Rowe, the preparatory work prior to Trump’s address in Butler, Pennsylvania, did not satisfy the agency’s requirements.
Since then, the agency has increased the number of agents assigned to security detail and increased the number of drones it uses.
