Ocasio-Cortez Tears Into Cheatle: ‘There Need to be Answers’
“The idea that a report will be finalized in 60 days, let alone prior to any actionable decisions that would be made, is simply not acceptable.”
Credit where it is due. This is the most bipartisan hearing I’ve ever watched.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tore into Secret Service Kimberly Cheatle over the failures that led to the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump:
“I can tell you on our mission assurance, internal investigation, we are targeting to have that completed, within 60 days,” she said. “There’s also an external investigation that is going to be taking place. There are a number of Office of Inspector General investigations as well.”
Cheatle’s answer didn’t sit well with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., who said “the notion of a report coming out in 60 days, when the threat environment is so high in the United States, irrespective of party, is not acceptable.”
“This is not theater. This is not about jockeying. This is about the safety of some of the most highly targeted and valued targets internationally and domestically in the United States of America,” Ocasio-Cortez added. “So the idea that a report will be finalized in 60 days, let alone prior to any actionable decisions that would be made, is simply not acceptable.”
“There need to be answers. Again… this is not a moment of theater. We have to make policy decisions and we have to make them now. We do. And that may require legislation, that may require policy that we must pass in the immediate term. And without that, we are flying blind. So the lack of answers and the lack of report is just simply not something that we can accept here,” Ocasio-Cortez also said.
Cheatle said earlier in the hearing that she is “not waiting for these investigations to be completed prior to making changes.”
AOC rips USSS Director Cheatle: "The idea that a report will be finalized in 60 days, let alone prior to any actionable decisions that would be made, is simply not acceptable.

AOC asks the right question:
"An AR-15 has a range of about 400-600 yards. Why is the Secret Service protective perimeter shorter than one of the most popular semi-automatic weapons in the United States?"pic.twitter.com/UgLGdRgFtn

“Credit where it is due.”
In the voice of Maj. Charles Emerson Winchester: “Thank you. No.”
I give no quarter to socialists. If she’s asking questions like this you can put your money on the fact that the assassin was foiled by a twist of the head.
Even abroken clock …
Sure, she’s a socialist.
She’s also asking good questions (for a change). I’d like to encourage her to keep doing that. Who knows, she might take the red pill someday. Hope springs eternal.
Why wasn’t the security perimeter set at 400 yards? Why can’t we have a report in less than 60 days? I don’t care at all that she’s asking the questions, I want the answers.
AOC doesnt care about Trump nearly getting killed
She is worried about Biden, harris or her getting killed
aoc thought she was questioning cheater on her claim that
ted cruz was trying to ra pe and or murder her
Nancy Mace “Your full of shit.”
aoc: “there needs to be answers”
on why trump is still running for potus!!!!!
AOC, it turns out, has been occasionally getting Secret Service protection (and she is not eligible). Her fury is of one who could be the next victim of incompetence
Because she’s terrified of being trolled again and mocked on social media.
Meanwhile, ACTUAL investigators are out there, doing for free the job that the government isn’t doing.
“34% of registered Democrats think Trump staged his own assassination attempt.”
Firearms experts debunk this BlueAnon claim via actual experimentation on the range..
“instead of an AR-15 chambered in 5.56 with a red dot and zero magnification, this guy used a [much more accurate] bolt rifle… with a massive scope … and STILL had issues hitting a motionless dummy’s ear!”
and STILL had issues hitting a motionless dummy’s ear!”

different circumstances of course but reminiscent of several snipers from the military/ss/fbi, et al being unable (after numerous attempts) to duplicate oswald’s supposed feat in the jfk event
so AOC said semi-automatic weapon and NOT assault weapon?
interesting.
most lefties/progs are consumed/conditioned by their delusions of priveleged immunity–no consequences–one of the reasons their sa is virtually zero
the more thoughtful ones however might pause and reflect that ” if they’re willing to kill trump, they’re certainly willing to kill me “
“There was overwatch…”
No drones.
And the SS snipers didn’t have a clean line of sight on that building.
So… what overwatch?
Oh but the hookers on call for the lead up prep team probably have some bragging rights.
