On Monday’s airing of ‘The Source with Kaitlan Collins’ Moskowitz revealed he doesn’t have a lot of faith in the Secret Service, and he is wondering why they are just now calling for an increase in resources.
“I appreciate the new Director [Ronald Rowe Jr.] coming forward and saying he needs more resources. We had a first assassination attempt, he wasn’t jumping up and down for more resources at the time. Now, we have a second one, and now, all of a sudden, we need more resources,” the representative pointed out.
Collins was quick to remind Moskowitz that Rowe Jr. wasn’t the director at the time of the first attempt, but he says the timing message is still strange.
“No, of course, but today, he’s asking for more resources. He’s been the acting Director now for several weeks. And so, look, I think if he needs the resources, he will get those resources from Congress,” the representative conceded. “But I also think we have a process and protocol problem, not just a resources and manpower issue. They’re saying Donald Trump is getting the highest level of protection. Well, if this is the highest level, we need to see several higher levels that they need to create for a level of protection because it’s inadequate, it’s clear. There’s not a single American right now, in my opinion, that has faith in the Secret Service.”
“Do you have faith in the Secret Service?” Collins asked.
“Not at this moment. How can you have faith? In 60 days, we’ve had two assassination attempts. That doesn’t mean that there [are] not great men and women working there. It just means, at this moment, they’ve had two fails in 60 days,” he responded plainly.
