The new director of the Secret Service is getting even… answering at least one U.S. senator who grilled him about his agency’s failures to protect Donald Trump the day of the assassination attempt.
Acting director. Ronald Rowe was on equal terms with the senator. Josh Hawley Tuesday, and things got extremely heated when Hawley demanded to know who Rowe had fired over the security failures in Butler, Pennsylvania.
At first, Rowe calmly explained that he was waiting for the results of the FBI investigation to determine next steps — but when Hawley responded that there were obvious flaws because the “former president was shot”… Rowe exploded.
He fired back with a reference to the JFK assassination in Dallas, barking… “Sir, this could have been our Texas schoolbook depository. I’ve been losing sleep over this for the last 17 days, just like you!!!”
Hawley interjected, “Then fire someone!” … which only made Rowe angrier.
Watch the conversation unfold: The hearing continued after that, but the tone was very different, as Rowe clearly didn’t want to be a punching bag anymore.
