Tucker Carlson: ‘Things are totally out of control – they can do ANYTHING, and nobody can do anything about it’
A U.S. senator is demanding answers from the head of Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security to allegations there was a law enforcement agent assigned to the roof on which former President Trump’s shooter was perched, but abandoned that post because of “hot weather.”
In a Monday letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., wrote about the security failures of Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle.
“Additional whistleblowers have contacted my office with troubling information about the assassination attempt on former President Donald J. Trump,” Hawley began.
“Contrary to Director Cheatle’s public statements about the ‘safety’ of the sloped roof of the American Glass Research Building 6, one whistleblower with direct knowledge of Secret Service planning for the event alleges that there was supposed to be law enforcement presence on the roof that day.
“In fact, the whistleblower alleges that at least one individual was specifically assigned to the roof for the duration of the rally, but this person abandoned his or her post due to the hot weather.
“The whistleblower further alleges that concerns over the heat prompted law enforcement to forego patrolling Building 6 and instead to station personnel inside the building.”
