Scalise says Secret Service director should resign
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said he believes Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle should resign.
"I've been very disappointed in her and her lack of candor," Scalise told Politico. "I think the American people need to see whatever the answers are. Tough questions, you got to take the tough questions. You take a position like that ... you can't have a bad day."
Scalise said the Secret Service "should have been out publicly right away" and addressing the press after the shooting.
"You had the local law enforcement giving a press conference, frankly, being asked questions that the head of the Secret Service should have been asked," he said. "And she, you know, kind of was nowhere to be found during that period, and yet they took those tough questions. She's got to answer tough questions. You can't hide from them."
Scalise was shot and wounded at a congressional baseball practice in 2017.
