Staff Reports
Dan Bongino, the former Secret Service officer who apparently still has a soft spot for truth-telling, absolutely torched his old agency this past Sunday for its failure to protect former President Donald Trump during a botched assassination attempt on Saturday. Bongino described the incident as nothing short of an “apocalyptic security failure” and is calling for the immediate resignation of Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle.
Trump emerged with only a graze on his ear, a near-miss that could have been far more tragic. One unfortunate audience member was killed, several others were injured, two critically. Yet, Bongino insists it was Trump’s quick reflexes that saved his own life, taking cover behind what was probably armored bunting. The agents managed to usher Trump to safety, but Bongino insists that the overall failure is catastrophic.

Bongino has sources claiming that numerous requests to boost security around Trump have been consistently ignored. The blame rests squarely on Cheatle’s shoulders, according to Bongino, who declares she has completely failed in her duties and should step down immediately. He scoffed at the agency’s complaints about staffing shortages and their boasts about advanced tech, pointing out that these failed to prevent a sniper from nearly taking Trump’s life.
Bongino laid it out clear: A government that spends $4 trillion annually can’t ensure the safety of its leaders? He mocked the agency’s supposed “victory lap” for their tech when a sniper managed to get within 150 yards of Trump. Bongino argued that the Secret Service has one job: protect lives, and in this case, they utterly failed.
Bongino’s critique didn’t stop there. He called for a congressional investigation into the Secret Service’s failure. Bongino, with 12 years of experience in the agency, lamented that this isn’t the Secret Service he knew. While he acknowledged the good men and women still in the Service, he stressed that the failure to protect Trump was monumental and unacceptable. He made it clear that surviving by luck does not equate to a job well done.
For Bongino, the debacle wasn’t just a reflection of poor pay or staffing. It was a blatant failure of leadership. He accused Cheatle of playing politics rather than focusing on her primary responsibility: presidential protection. He recounted stories of her prioritizing politics over duty, further solidifying his call for her resignation.
In closing, Bongino praised Trump’s courage and resilience, noting how he continued to stand tall and defiant post-attack. For Bongino and his followers, Trump’s bravery during the assassination attempt is a lasting image that solidifies his leadership and toughness. And with the 2024 election on the horizon, Bongino and like-minded conservatives are gearing up for what they see as the fight of a lifetime.
