@BuzzPatterson I don’t believe it’s incompetence. I believe it’s intentional. If it was any other President security would have been air tight.

Unacceptable. Period. The stairwell should’ve been manned.

@MDButler81 @BillMelugin_ @FoxNews I believe it would have been safe if it were any other President.

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews If nothing else comes from this, there needs to be a realization that venues like this for Presidential events just are not safe anymore. Additionally, if SS did fire their weapons, how is it he was not hit? That warrants review and immediate action.

BREAKING: A senior White House official tells @FoxNews that President Trump & the WH are standing by Secret Service leadership and a meeting will be held this week to review security protocols. Statement to FOX: “President Trump and the White House are standing by the leadership of Secret Service, and President Trump has said he personally thinks they did an excellent job neutralizing the shooter and moving the President, First Lady, Vice President and cabinet to safety. Nevertheless, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles is convening a meeting early this week with the White House operations team, USSS, and DHS leadership to discuss protocol and practices for major events involving POTUS. The meeting will discuss the processes and procedures that worked to stop Saturday’s attempt, while exploring additional options to ensure all relevant components are doing everything possible to secure the many major events planned for President Trump in the months ahead as he gears up to celebrate America 250.”

@BillMelugin_ @lbc360 @FoxNews They are naive, I’m afraid. No other President has had this kind of lazy, seemingly inept security. Kudos to the ones who appear to jump in and remove him…but even they are like molasses. Security wouldn’t have been that relaxed if it was Obama instead of Trump.

@JDunlap1974 Biden. And that’s pretty darn bad to beat Carter.

WHICH WAS THE WORST PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER OR JOE BIDEN?

@JudgeJeanine @EMastrro You looked amazing! 🔥

It started out as a fun evening

@ChrisDJackson @JoeBiden

Who else misses the boring, no-drama days of @JoeBiden? No chaos. No circus. No daily embarrassment. Just quiet competence from a president who actually knew how to do the job.

@ChrisDJackson @JoeBiden

@brianstelter @60Minutes Push and pull, you say?

Trump's interview with Norah O'Donnell on @60Minutes shows that nothing is going to change in the push-and-pull between the press and the president.

@nypost @TheMorningSpew2 Who wants to bet everyone would have been throughly screened and hotel guest’s luggage checked if it was Obama attending instead of Trump? 🙋‍♀️

Ex-President Barack Obama claims 'we don't know' WHCD gunman's motives - despite raving anti-Trump manifesto trib.al/phZQa4M

@BillMelugin_ @LABeachGal1 If it was Obama I bet every single bag would have been checked/scanned…Just saying.

A Daily Beast editor had the hotel room next door to the alleged WHCD attacker. “How on earth could someone with a disassembled long gun check into a room at a hotel where the president was going to speak? I can answer that: Nobody even looked at my luggage on Friday afternoon. Worse, my colleague arrived on Saturday at 5 p.m. Nobody looked at his luggage either: No magnometers, no hand checks, no I.D. checks. Nothing.” thedailybeast.com/i-slept-next-t…

@RepJeffries Stop calling your fellow lawmakers and fellow citizens extremists! You have either learned nothing or you actually WANT this chaos, and want us ☠️

America will not be lectured about civility by far right extremists in Congress. Particularly those who provide aid and comfort to hundreds of violent rioters who brutally beat police officers on January 6. There will be ample time to vigorously debate the issues of the day. Now is a time to unify.

@atrupar Stop it! It will barely be complete before his term is up. This is for future administrations to enjoy.

I’m fascinated by how obsessed Trump is with his ballroom but still unsure why he wants it so bad. There is definitely an untold story there that goes beyond him just wanting a larger event space.

@Thomasstjames3 @BarbMcQuade @electronicgogo @DAGToddBlanche @TheJusticeDept Stop it! You sound like a fool. Turn of MSNBC and CNN and talk to your fellow citizens on the other side for a change.

@BarbMcQuade @electronicgogo @DAGToddBlanche @TheJusticeDept If Trump has his way, there will never be another election—what he’s really building right now is a bunker.

It’s time to build the ballroom.

@GeorgeColli And then Kimmel makes a joke about Melania looking like an “expectant widow”.

Take one guess who was in Torrance, CA a couple weeks ago….

@brianstelter Coming that close to experiencing the violent consequences yourselves of ten years of dehumanizing rhetoric should open some eyes and cause some soul searching. But I’m not very optimistic that will happen.

Trump very easily could have blamed the media last night, but instead, he basically said "we're all in this together."

@CNN Gee! I wonder who would feed such ideas into his head day after day after day? 😡

Correspondents' dinner latest: Writings from the suspected gunman indicate anti-Trump administration ideology and rhetoric, source says. Follow live updates. cnn.it/4tAC9ss

@Timodc But someone with a different kind of brain can easily jump from “Don’t break bread with those people” to “They deserve to die”.

Yes. My position is that reporters shouldn’t get dressed up in a tux to have some laughs with the terrible president. I also oppose trying to shoot the president (or anyone). These opinions coexist very easily if you don’t have a baby brain.

@RepAOC Then how about stop calling half the country…including the President things like “threats” “fascist” “Nazi” “extremists” and on and on and on…

There is no place for political violence in our country. I am relieved that the President and the attendees at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last night are safe.

@davidaxelrod @BarackObama The difference is that SS seems to be able to keep tight enough security around Obama that shooters didn’t repeatedly keep coming within a few breaths of blowing his head off.

I was with my friend @BarackObama in 2007, the day he, as a candidate, was assigned Secret Service protection, Laura, because of the intense nature and volume of threats against him. We've seen Dems and Rs targeted. This is an American problem. So maybe it's you who should give it a rest?

@BillMelugin_ @mkolken So the question is are these repeated security lapses intentional? Seems to me that the POTUS, and countless others are intentionally being left vulnerable.

My thoughts on the security at the WHCD last night. The first exterior security for me was on the street outside of the hotel. I flashed my ticket and was waved through in one second. My name was not checked against any list, I showed no ID, I was not patted down and did not go through a metal detector. I probably could have shown a ticket from a prior year or a fake one as they barely looked at it. (I don't know who that exterior security was, they were guys in suits). From that point, I walked into the hotel with no further security check, and I walked down to the Fox pre-party where there were multiple ballrooms that were absolutely PACKED with attendees. Still did not go through any security at that point. Hypothetically, If I had hidden an explosive in my shoe or my jacket, I would have had no problem getting into one of those ballrooms. Only once it was time to get into the main ballroom for the dinner did we pass through magnetometers, empty our pockets, and get a pat down. And even that checkpoint was just outside of the dinner room. Two things can be true at the same time. Secret Service reacted quickly to an active armed threat and prevented that threat from getting into the ballroom. But the security leading up to that point, in my opinion, appeared to be lacking severely.
