Another alarming failure by the Secret Service is raising more questions. 

The embattled agency is coming to a fork in the road. 

And a top Republican drew a bright red line in the sand with one promise to the Secret Service.

Secret Service suffers another catastrophic failure 

For the second time in two months, there was an assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.

A radical, pro-Ukraine Democrat set up on Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, with an SKS-style rifle to ambush him.

Secret Service agents scouting the next hole that Trump was going to play discovered the would-be assassin, and opened fire on him.

The Martin County, Florida Sheriff’s Office arrested the 58-year-old Democrat, and he was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. 

The would-be assassin made 19 campaign contributions to Democrats, and had made trips to Ukraine to allegedly help the country in its war against Russia by recruiting literal terrorists from the Taliban to join the ruling class elites’ cause in eastern Europe.

It remains a mystery how he would have known that Trump was going to be playing golf at his course, and how he was able to get within a few hundred yards of the former President before being spotted by the Secret Service.

Time to clean house at the Secret Service 

Representative Tim Burchett (R-TN) warned that the Secret Service was compromised after the latest assassination attempt against Trump during a Fox News appearance. 

“The Left has just ramped up their vitriol,” Burchett said. “You’ve seen the tweets that y’all are saying something about they need to learn how to aim better and things like that. Those are the type of things that incite somebody who is on the edge. They know exactly what they’re doing.”

Democrats and their allies in the media tried to blame Trump’s rhetoric for the assassination attempt, and pivoted to whining about supposed threats to illegal aliens from Haiti in Springfield, Ohio – even though the Governor of Ohio has since debunked Democrats’ claims of “bomb threats” against the city.

“The problem is you’ve got a Secret Service, at least in my opinion, and in the public’s eye, that is compromised and that it lacks in leadership,” Burchett explained. “And you’ve got brave agents on the ground, obviously, one who took that shot. But why in the world would anybody be anywhere near the perimeter of this? This line of sight that we talk about is just beyond me.”

Burchett said that the Secret Service should be run through like Union General Ulysses S. Grant did to Richmond, Virginia, during the Civil War. 

“So we’ve got to get some answers,” Burchett said. “I don’t think we’re going to get them during this administration, but hopefully under the Trump administration will clean this rat’s nest out. I mean, we’ve got to go through these departments like Grant, through Richmond brother. We cannot put up with this anymore.”

He suggested this was another sign that the Washington, D.C. “Swamp” wanted to keep Trump from returning to the White House.

“This establishment, the ‘Swamp,’ whatever you want to call it, it’s an open sewer,” Burchett stated. “They have thrown down the gantlet. They know if Donald J. Trump is elected, their days are over. We’ll get this country back in order and they will throw anything and everything at it.”

The Secret Service is going to face more calls for a dramatic overhaul after another security failure.
