Former Secret Service agent questions manner in which Trump rally was handled

Retired Secret Service agent Mike Matranga has shared a shocking statement regarding former President Donald Trump’s attempted assassination.

Matranga sat down on Fox's America’s Newsroom, and that is where he let it fly about how officials addressed the shooter's presence.

According to Matranga, “It would have taken nothing to take a tactical pause, assess the situation, locate him, and potentially prevent what we haven't seen in 43 years.”

“Failing to even address the American people or to point the finger solely at the local law enforcement is just not right," he said. "This is a catastrophic failure of communications. We've known this for decades, that we rely too heavily on our local counterparts to do the jobs that we are designed to do, and so this is a catastrophic failure,” Matranga continued.

Matranga did not stop there.

“The former president deserves better. The individuals who were harmed and the individual who succumbed to his injuries deserve better,” he concluded.

If you have a former Secret Service agent saying it would have “taken nothing” to prevent this, it makes you wonder HOW something like this could happen.

Was there not ANYTHING Trump’s security could have done to ensure the safety of the presidential candidate and the innocent Americans attending his rally?

Even more concerning, there was a “person of interest” identified BEFORE Trump ever took the stage, yet the rally began anyway.

Why?

It is hard not to begin drawing conclusions.

We are relieved that Trump emerged from the horrific attack only injured and we pray for the family members of the man who died that day.

At this point, the Secret Service needs to do better.

We need to ensure that nothing like this happens again!
