Marsha Blackburn, GOP senators confront Secret Service head Kimberly Cheatle as she oversees RNC security

Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), John Barrasso (R-WY), James Lankford (R-OK), and Kevin Kramer (R-ND) confronted Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle during the Republican National Convention on Wednesday evening. The confrontation between the four senators and Cheatle comes as she has been called on to resign from her position following security failures that led to the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

Blackburn posted a video of the confrontation with her and Barrasso and said, "The American people deserve answers from the Secret Service." Lankford and Cramer had also been there during the confrontation, according to Politico.

Barrasso said that Cheatle was "stonewalling" about the assassination attempt on Trump while Blackburn said, "You owe the people answers."

After the confrontation, Barrasso and Blackburn posted a video online where they explained the interaction. Barrasso said, "Senator Blackburn and I just went face to face with the director of the Secret Service asking for specific answers about what happened with President Trump in Pennsylvania and how that shooter was able to get off a clear shot when the FBI, the Secret Service knew there was a suspicious person an hour in advance."

Blackburn told The Post Millennial, “It is appalling that the Secret Service Director refused to answer our questions. This is one of the greatest security failures in the history of the agency. She can run but she cannot hide. She is a failed leader and she needs to immediately step down from her position.” The Tennessee Senator said that the information given in a Senate conference call earlier in the day regarding the assassination attempt was not clear enough.

Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) also posted on Wednesday evening, calling on Cheatle to resign, "Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle needs to step down immediately. Today’s (mostly) information-free briefing only confirmed that. What little information she gave us was at once deeply troubling and glaringly incomplete."

Cramer posted about the interaction, "What is she hiding? Her security detail protected her from Senators better than Donald Trump’s protected him from a shooter. She should be able to answer simple questions the world is asking. She must resign now!"
