Trump Supporter take on AOC Secret Service Hearing

Generally believe her to say and do some stupid things with exaggerated rhetoric. However, her time yielded an incredibly stoic but stern on point message and I appreciate the acknowledgement of how big a deal this is.

So good on her in this instance.

 You talking about this from yesterday's Congressional hearing with the head of security for Pepsi Co. ??   I mean, the head of the United States Secret Service.... 

“The individual used an AR-15 in order to act out his assassination attempt. An AR-15 has a range of about 400 to 600 yards. My question is, why is the Secret Service protective perimeter shorter than one of the most popular semi-automatic weapons in the United States?” “And so, what I'm hearing is that a perimeter was not established outdoors in an outdoor venue that would prevent an AR-15, which is one of the most common weapons used in mass shootings, from being able to be within the range of Secret Service protection.”

-AOC  

I understand your sentiments to be correct....they did not secure perimeter to cover the distance you describe, which has become fairly obvious....how would anyone with detail to do so be allowed to let an open roof at 150-160 yards be uncovered and unsecure is beyond me, unless they just didn't care....Trump or no Trump, threat or no threat, he is still an ex president and is in the running again so not sure the lax approach here....he is also a very contentious individual and has caused discord among many, how would this get so botched....

Cheatle should have resigned as this is outright uncalled for...the photo taken behind Trump out into the crowd shows it clear as day and would be no reason not to have that roof covered with people protecting him....if this is the best we can do protecting ex presidents then we are in big trouble...thankfully she stepped down...
