One of the most bizarre sightings at the 2024 Republican National Convention was the infamous Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle.
Several Republican U.S. Senators confronted and challenged Cheatle demanding answers on the spot about her handling of security at Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where the former president was shot on Saturday, a firefighter died, and two others are still in critical condition.
Cheatle, who was in a suite at the convention arena when the senators caught up with her on Wednesday night, refused to answer questions about the assassination attempt on Trump, telling the lawmakers it was not the proper forum. The senators were having none of Cheatle's response. They followed Cheatle demanding answers.
A video was posted on Senator Marsha Blackburn's (R-TN) X page.
Cheatle can be seen leaving the suite as the senators followed her asking her why the Secret Service would allow Trump to go on stage knowing there was a suspicious person at the rally that was a potential threat. Cheatle keeps walking and refuses to answer.
"No shame. No concern. You're supposed to protect the president of the United States," Senator John Barrasso (WY) told Cheatle as she walked away from the group of lawmakers.
"You answer to us," shouted Senator Kevin Cramer, (R-ND)
"You owe President Trump answers," Senator Blackburn deviantly stated.
"You cannot run away," Barrasso said as the senators tried catching up with Cheatle, who was flanked by her own security guards.
"The president should have had this good of protection for crying out loud," said an unidentified voice off-camera.
Earlier in the day, the Secret Service briefed senators on the investigation into the assassination attempt.
Barrasso said the question queue was cut off early so many senators were unable to ask questions and get a full briefing.
