The Colorado representative is seeking to end federal funding of the Secret Service director's salary following Saturday's shooting.
House Republican Lauren Boebert has introduced a bill to strip Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle of her salary in response to 'the agency's incompetence and failure to protect President Trump' during the attempt on his life at a rally near Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.The legislation, co-sponsored by eight of Boebert's fellow Republicans, would prevent federal funds being used to pay Cheatle's salary, effectively cutting it to zero.
'Secret Service personnel on the ground moved quickly during the incident, with our counter sniper team neutralizing the shooter and our agents implementing protective measures to ensure the safety of former president Donald Trump,' she said.'The Secret Service is working with all involved Federal, state and local agencies to understand what happened, how it happened, and how we can prevent an incident like this from ever taking place again.
