Cheatle Admits She Knows but Refuses to Say How Many Bullet Casings Found on Roof
P>It’s clear that Cheatle’s evasiveness and refusal to provide answers only further eroded confidence in her ability to lead the Secret Service effectively. As elected officials and the public demand accountability and transparency, Cheatle’s actions only serve to heighten suspicions of a cover-up or incompetence at the highest levels of the agency.
The American people deserve leaders who are willing to take responsibility and provide clear, honest answers in times of crisis. Cheatle’s actions do a disservice to the brave men and women of the Secret Service who put their lives on the line to protect our nation’s leaders.
It’s time for Cheatle to step up, take responsibility, and provide the answers that the American people deserve. Anything less is a failure of leadership and a betrayal of the trust placed in her position.
It’s a disgrace Kimberly Cheatle hasn’t been fired.
As director of the Secret Service, she presided over one of the greatest security failures in recent history when a would-be assassin shot and nearly killed former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13.
During a hearing on Monday, House Oversight and Accountability Committee members raked Cheatle over the coals for her failure and demanded answers to many of the questions that inevitably came out of the incident.
And yet, in a continued display of shockingly incompetent, unaccountable leadership, the director refused to provide any answers.
This was even the case for simple questions to which she knew the answers.
When Michigan Republican Rep. Lisa McClain pressed Cheatle on how many shell casings were found on the roof from which the would-be assassin opened fire, Cheatle refused to answer.
The director said she had met with top FBI officials who informed her of the exact number.
McClain was visibly outraged as Cheatle continued to refuse to answer the question.
“If you’re supposed to be in charge, if the buck stops with you, how come you can’t the answers? What are you covering up? What are you hiding, my friend?” she said.
These two shots of the congresswoman’s face as she asked the question, and then received her answer, tell you everything you need to know about Cheatle’s incompetence.

Again, what a disgrace this is that Cheatle has yet to face any sort of repercussions for such a massive leadership failure.
While it’s a disgrace she hasn’t been fired, however, it’s also hardly surprising.
Given how rampant DEI and affirmative action-based hiring is in the Biden administration, it’s hardly a stretch to suggest Cheatle — a former PepsiCo security executive — was not hired purely on her competence.
And if she wasn’t hired because of competence, why on Earth would she be fired for incompetence?
