Former President T**** spoke about his conversation with Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to Fox News’ Jesse Watters on Monday night, saying she was nice, though somebody should have made sure nobody was on the roof a gunman accessed before opening fire at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“She came to see me actually. And, well, I mean, it went very nicely. She was very nice, I thought. But, you know, somebody should have made sure there was nobody on that roof,” T**** said. “That roof was a dead aim right onto the stage. And they said they didn’t have the manpower for it, which is crazy. They said 130 yards is like sinking a one-foot putt. It’s considered really close.
“It sounds like a lot, but it’s really, from that standpoint, it’s a very, you know, it’s very close. And I was surprised by that actually. They said it’s really, it’s a – a bad shot would usually hit the target. And so I mean, it’s got to be, somebody’s got to be there. And it’s essentially a flat roof,” T**** added. “ I mean, I noticed that she said, well, this is a slope roof where you think of like a barn where you have, this thing had just a little – a little upswing in it, a few degrees. This was a not – it essentially was a flat roof.
So, I don’t know. Somebody gave her false information when she talked about the slope of the roof.
“I thought she was very nice. But, you know, you have to answer why couldn’t I have stayed off the stage for five minutes while they do their work,” he continued. “Why couldn’t, you know, how does a situation happen where a roof that’s plainly in sight from the location where I was speaking, why would somebody not have seen that?”
