It is a complete shit show. Cheatle can't answer a single question. I don't know if it's a women thing or just a basic politician thing but she completely avoids taking responsibility for what happened. She, 9 days after the incident, still has no information; she is waiting on a report from the FBI which will take at least 60 days. She never visited the site. She didn't speak to any agents that were at the scene until three days later.
It's been mentioned a ton of times by Congress that this is a bipartisan hearing. Oddly enough, that seems to almost be true. People on both sides of the uniparty are calling for her to resign immediately. However, the Dem side are using this to condemn "weapons of war" and "this could have been prevented if the shooter didn't have an AR-15" and "Could your agents' job be easier if these arms were not available to the public?" You never want a serious crisis to go to waste, right?
I'd say this is a show trial but Cheatle's replies, when she actually provides one, show how fucked this whole thing was from the beginning.
"Ma'am, you are a DEI horror story" - Mr. Burchet, representative for Tennessee's 2nd congressional district
Is that a real quote?
Yes https://x.com/DailyCaller/status/1815440427148788082
"You're full of shit today!"
burned lmao
Both sides are eviscerating this DEI hire
This is the best one i’ve seen so far :

Remember she ONLY got her job because <checks notes> DR Jill Biden recommended her.
Fucking joke.
she's right, but I fucking hate the school teacher voice these politicians put on during these hearings.
it's nothing but bread and circus.
Josh Hawley doesn't. He GRILLS them.
in a Stern and commanding voice correct? that's all he ever does.
bread. and. circuses.
Yall keep saying this as if the junior senators have any power to do anything. The fact is the boomers and gen x just won't upset the status quo. That's not some indictment of the ones that actually expose the shit. What's Hawley going to do without a coalition that can push things through
What kind of retard makes a pop culture reference while questioning someone in congress while you were making an otherwise good point? Then what kind of mega retard confuses Shaggy with Eminem?
Political critters are not like normal humans.
No conflict of interest there lmao
She's an absolute cipher.
She knows nothing and only cares about herself and her job, not the job. The secret service is supposed to take a bullet for the President, whether it's a physical bullet or a deadly serious question.
Here's how the Jim Jordan exchange should have gone:
Jim: "How many times did the Secret Service deny the Trump campaigns requests for extra protection?"
Cheatle: "To the best of my knowledge 48 times" and then go into how they thought it was adequate, it was a mistake, they've given increased resources to Trump. Except they didn't think it was adequate, it wasn't a mistake, and they didn't increase resources.
Instead this is how it went:
Cheatle: "A denial of a request does not equal a vulnerability" and more refusing to answer.
Absolutely disgusting.
Yeah Republicans suck at grilling people. Because they don't realize the average viewer is retarded or ill equipped to understand what is going on.
Jim Jordan did ask the question and repeated it several times after her refusal to answer, but you're kind of right.
Problem is he's only doing it so the audience sees him yelling at her. He could have maneuvered her to admit there was a number, she'd have to dodge by saying she didn't know it, and then "will you commit your staff to providing us with the number of denials for more protection".
Then you eventually get the answer or you add that in the reason to impeach; failure to provide information to Congress in a timely manner, which is way stronger than just 'we don't like you'.
Yeah but when is the last time Republicans actually ousted anyone? Dems play to win. Republicans play for show.
Lmao there's no maneuvering in the world that's going to get Cheatle off the script she was given by lawyers from the 3 letter agencies
I don't know if hearings ever used to result in anything. In theory, it's about learning facts that will define a follow up bill that will patch the wrong that was discovered. Again, in theory.
These days at least it's just about giving politicians a soapbox to get the next soundbite for a campaign ad and if it results in a strongly worded letter, you're lucky anything came of it at all.
"Go back to protecting Doritos" was pretty hilarious, though. Pretty sure The Cathedral mouthpieces will characterize it as a poor woman getting bullied by mean old men.
I also doubt anything will come of this.
But the thing with this hearing, it is pretty much a show trial or a soapbox trial, but the replies Cheatle gives are damning. Of all the ways a political appointee could deflect she kept choosing the worst way. The lack of information plus the information she does provide is crazy. I am really curious how the media will cover this in tandem with Joe dropping out and Kamala being the presumed nominee.
Ignore it?
Women and accountability = oil and water
Nope. It'll just make me sad and it's predictable. The Dems will obfuscate, virtue signal and protect. The GOP will grandstand but ultimately do absolutely nothing. No consequences. Again. Always.
We need a real opposition party.
"If you have any bias training that your officers under go, ... I ask because as a civil rights lawyer, I have learned, so many times, having to deal with law enforcement, that there is usually not a perception of a threat when it is a young white male even if they are carrying a long gun. Yet in a lot of times, at least in this country, when it comes to law enforcement there is a perceived threat just by someone having a bit more melanin in their skin" - Ms. Crockett, from Texas's 30th congressional district.
She also said some other bullshit. And yes, she looks exactly like you think she does.
Edit: Here is a tweet that covers it all https://twitter.com/WesternLensman/status/1815450599791435788
Trump shot at, black women most affected. Isn't she the bad Barbie body chick
Cheatle is paid $280,000 per year. If she can delay being fired for 10 weeks she'll make over $50,000.
It's actually fucking unbelievable that a public servant can straight up refuse to answer questions.
Umm
The shooter would have been much better off with a hunting rifle than a big bad evil ar-15. Guy got meme'd into missing every shot.
He only missed because Trump turned his head at an angle in a fraction of a second during trigger travel.
Hunting rifle with a nice trigger then.
He missed because of luck, really. Pure, dumb, stupid luck. That's all that separated us from... well, all of this right now, and a very, very dark timeline.
Still gets the hairs on the back of my neck up.
And that's the thing that worries me about copycats moving forward. The deranged leftists who would do this know there was a gap and it was pure luck Trump is still alive.
And you bet Trump sleeps every day with an eye open. I can't imagine how much it fucks with his head that he was THIS close to dying.
Nearly having your head blown off in 4k would give anyone PTSD. I feel bad for Trump, this is just one of many horrible things they have done to him.
The only clip I saw was some question like 'what happened to the SecServ director after kennedy was shot?'
lady: 'he stayed on duty'
guy: 'he resigned'
immediate kek from me.
lmao
Looking up what little I have of her employment history, but Cheatle claims to have had "27 years" of experience, but all I'm seeing is that she was a fucking PAPER PUSHER for the Secret Service. She did nothing but administrative jobs and had ZERO experience with deployments. Apparently she was a protector of Biden but we've never seen her mettle actually tested anywhere.
Also considering she was guarding cheetos at PepsiCo, guaranteed she'd be extremely rusty and forgot a lot of her training.
This woman was NOT fit to run it. At all.
The fact that this woman isn't gone by now and is essentially rubbing everyone's face in it is basically stating there was some kind of monkey business behind the scenes.
Duders, I was listening to it at work. Hell some of my co-workers were listening to it at work. Even the normies were blown away with how much of a shit show it was.
HOLY SHIT. This felt like a struggle session, but it was just congressmen getting pissed off at someone who is completely unaccountable providing no information. Then you had Leftists just pulling fucking insane shit out of their ass.
Let me go through my notes here:
And now for all the reasons that the political left claims caused the shooting. Hold onto your fucking brain cells:
Ah, but you see, that one is vulnerable to subpoena and FOIA request, which are much harder to do for her personal phone. So gotta do everything on the private phone so that you dont have to worry about answer..."unfortunate" questions. Questions like "Are you actually accountable for your failures?"
Have a good link for it? Viva Frei has a summary upcoming but it doesn't look like anyone in my normal listening list is covering it live.
This is what I've been watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4Qi7pfBxzQ
At this point, it's a waste of time. Are they even going to punish her? Just getting resigned isn't enough.
She'll resign when she's good and ready! (after 6 months having made another $140,000 in salary)
Leftist tactics blend well with a woman's need to avoid accountability. Remember, Mayorkas and Garland did the same thing. For all of her feminist-isms, she is still following the lead of a man.
I was hoping someone would've brought up her close, personal friendship with (DOCTOR!) Jill Biden as a reason for getting the job, but that didn't happen.
Nancy Mace looked pretty good, so did Anna Paulina Luna, but I'm partial to brunettes so...
Also, too many leftists mentioned AR-15's as "weapons of war" and I think one even said "weapon of mass destruction". That's like saying my cross-eyed Siamese cat is no different than a lion.
Women aren't cut out for some jobs, but I'm betting this one was selected for her ability to lie down and take as many as the Dems require.
Since the wrong pair of lips are in action, what'd you expect?
