“Fight!” ✊

I couldn’t help but think of 9/11 on Saturday when I heard the news of the attempted assassination of former President Trump. Like 9/11, on Saturday I was traveling, disconnected from the news, and didn’t see any footage until later that night. As I write this on Sunday night from Florida, there is a lot still unanswered, such as information about the now dead shooter and what went wrong with Secret Service protocols.

From Fox News:

Some former FBI and Secret Service agents are dumbfounded by the security breakdown, however, with some alleging the shoddy effort to get Trump out of the danger zone could have created a far more disastrous outcome if multiple threats had been present.

"Having worked with the Secret Service before, as I was watching this unfold, I could not believe how long this played out before they got him off of that stage into the car, and then it took that vehicle that long to depart that area. It was a lifetime from a protection standpoint," former FBI Special Agent Jonathan Gilliam said during a special Sunday broadcast of "Fox & Friends First."

"A lot of people on the news… didn't want to be critical of the Secret Service but, as I watch this again… I'm astounded at the way things played out because it appeared as though it was being that the defense of Trump and the movements off were being made up as they went along, and that is not the way this elite service should be prepared for this and carrying out these tactics and this type of situation."

On Sunday afternoon, President Biden said that the Secret Service would provide Trump with every necessary resource for his safety. Biden said that he has directed the head of the Secret Service to do a full review before the Republican National Convention starts Monday. Biden said he is “directing an independent review of the security at yesterday's rally to assess exactly what happened, and we'll share the results of that independent review with the American people as well.”
