Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe got into a heated exchange with Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Texas, during a hearing on security failures leading to attempted assassinations on President-elect Donald Trump. The dispute erupted when Fallon questioned Rowe's proximity to President Biden during a joint appearance.
The acting director of the U.S. Secret Service and a Texas congressman got into a screaming match Thursday during a hearing on the agency's failures leading to two assassination attempts against President-elect Donald Trump . Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe shouted at Rep. Pat Fallon , R-Texas, after the GOP lawmaker lambasted the service for security lapses that made Trump a target of two failed shooting attempts.
Who is usually at an event like this closest to the President of the United States?' Fallon asked, pointing at the photo. 'Were you the special agent in charge of the detail that day?' Rowe said the security detail was present but out of view of the camera. As he spoke, he became enraged and accused Fallon of using 9/11 for political purposes.
That is the day where we remember more than 3,000 people that have died on 9/11. I actually responded to Ground Zero,' Rowe said. 'I was there going through the ashes of the World Trade Center.' 'I'm not asking that, I'm asking you, if you were… were you the special agent in charge!?' Fallon interrupted, shouting at Rowe. Rowe raised his voice in response. 'I was there to show respect for a Secret Service member that died on 9/11!' he yelled back.
