Secret Service Acting Director Calls July 13 a ‘Failure of Imagination’

Twitter

As Twitchy reported earlier, Sen. Ted Cruz ended the career of Secret Service acting Director Ronald Rowe Tuesday at a joint hearing of the Judiciary and Homeland Security committees. Rowe took a lot of well-deserved abuse from Sens. Cruz and Josh Hawley for the failure of the Secret Service to protect Donald Trump from a sniper on a "sloped" rooftop in Butler, Pennsylvania earlier this month.

Sen. Mike Lee also went off on Rowe, recalling how the Secret Service let Trump take the stage 17 minutes after receiving reports of a suspicious person with a rangefinder and then didn't remove him from the stage when they learned that would-be assassin Thomas Crooks had a gun with him up on that unmanned roof.

Lee wasn't done yet, though. The Post Millennial reports that Rowe told the committees that July 13 was a "failure of imagination."

Thomas Stevenson reports:

The acting Secret Service director said that a "failure of imagination" was to blame in preventing the attempted assassination of Trump during his testimony in Congress on Tuesday. Ronald L. Rowe said that the United States Secret Service (USSS) did not challenge its "assumptions" about the event.

While answering a question from Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-IN), who asked, "There's some people that think it didn't really happen, which of course is completely ridiculous. It did. There are some people that think all kinds of conspiracies went on within the government, which is also false. But could you just tell them what went wrong so they understand?"

Rowe responded saying that it was a "failure of imagination," adding, "a failure to imagine that we actually do live in a very dangerous world where people do actually want to do harm to our protectees."

The Secret Service failed to imagine that someone would try to harm someone under their protection. Seriously?

Go easy on Rowe. After all, his agency is hurting.
