Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle was grilled by lawmakers on Capitol Hill on Monday and of course, House Democrats turned the hearing into another of their clown shows.
Republican lawmakers sought answers from the evasive bureaucrat over her agency’s inexplicable failure to protect former President Donald J. Trump who was nearly assassinated and at one point, trash-talking drama queen Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) made the inability to stop the shooter all about race.
In a sad example of the dismal quality of the new crop of left-wing congresspeople, Crockett suggested that the reason why 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to evade detection when he should have been a flashing blip on the radar is that as a white person, he had the privilege of not being scrutinized like he would have been if he was black.

“One of my questions has to do with if you have any bias training that your officers undergo?” Crockett began. “And the reason that I ask that is because as a civil rights lawyer, I have learned so many times in having to deal with law enforcement that there usually is not a perception of a threat when it is a young, white, male,” she added, ticking off her fingers for emphasis.
“Even if they are carrying a long gun,” the congresswoman continued, “Yet a lot of times – at least in this country – when it comes to law enforcement, there is a perceived threat just by somebody having a little bit more melanin in their skin…”
The astounding lack of decorum from the serial race-baiter who tried to hijack a hearing that was supposed to be about congressional oversight to promote her anti-whitey activism was slammed by X users.
Congress should ban professional race baiters.

It’s absolutely sickening how someone like her, can sit back making excuses about an assassin and say he wouldn’t be noticed because he is white?
What planet does she live on?
She really went with “White Privilege” to make a cover for Secret Service failures?
She needs to go.

White people were calling out to law enforcement that he was on the roof. Skin color is irrelevant.

She is without question the dumbest member of Congress. How many presidents have been assassinated by black men?

A white guy tries to take the life of another white guy.
How can we make this about black people?

Another reason she should not be in office. She makes everything about race.
She is a disgrace.— Fitz (@nfitz1234) July 22, 2024
Racist lowlife.

Also acting like a fool during the hearing was Hamas mouthpiece Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) who hammed it up in a rant about Trump’s near assassination meriting a hearing and not other shooting victims in a shameless performance.

The new breed of Democrats is showing that the “C” in Congress should stand for “clown.”
