The media has been trying to move on from the Trump assassination attempt. The question is, why?
And now a Secret Service Agent has gone on Fox News to uncover the truth about the Trump shooting.
Does it not seem weird that the former President of the United States Donald Trump was shot at and nearly died and the media is not talking about it anymore? All the attention is on Vice President Kamala Harris effectively taking the reins from Joe Biden as the face of the Democrat Party. The former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle stepping down seemed to satisfy the questions of those in the mainstream media.
Millions of Americans still want answers though, and they are making their voices heard. The questions surrounding the shooting and how it all actually happened need to be answered sooner or later. In fact, one former Secret Service agent is piling on with the negative press for the Secret Service.
Former Secret Service Agent Criticizes Acting Director’s Testimony on Trump’s Assassination Attempt
In a sharp rebuke, former Secret Service agent Richard Staropoli criticized acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe Jr. for his testimony on Tuesday concerning the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Staropoli expressed his disappointment during an appearance on Fox & Friends on Wednesday, stating that Rowe’s performance fell short of the expectations for a Secret Service director addressing U.S. representatives.
Rowe’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee involved multiple heated exchanges with Republican senators. Staropoli argued that Rowe’s demeanor and responses were inappropriate for someone in his position. “If nothing else, he certainly proved that he can read a statement that was prepared for him,” Staropoli remarked.
“But, you know, the public, the rank and file, the entire world was watching that testimony. And they expect the Secret Service director to answer questions directly and bluntly and pointedly. Not to lose their composure and certainly not to get argumentative with congressmen and senators who are approving your budget. That’s part of the problem.”
One notable confrontation occurred between Rowe and Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, who accused Rowe of evading direct questions about decision-making processes within the Secret Service and the allocation of agents between Trump and President Joe Biden. The exchange escalated to the point where Cruz demanded Rowe to “stop interrupting” him as the acting director spoke over the senator.
Staropoli did not hold back in his critique, calling for a comprehensive overhaul of the Secret Service’s leadership. “The director of the Secret Service did not put on anywhere near the performance that she should have two weeks ago. And she passed the baton to these folks, including the acting director and the bench that is sitting behind them,” he said.
“These are all legacy leaders. They all have to go. They’re the ones that are more culpable and responsible for setting up the tone and the attitudes which led to what happened operationally three weeks ago. Not only do they need to get rid of the folks that were on the ground, that were directly responsible for what happened here three weeks ago, but the leadership has to go as well.”

Adding to the tense atmosphere, Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri engaged in a shouting match with Rowe, demanding that he take decisive action and fire individuals within his agency.
Staropoli’s pointed remarks underscore the heightened scrutiny and frustration surrounding the Secret Service’s handling of the assassination attempt and its subsequent responses.
Is There A Coordinated Effort To Move On From Trump Rally Shooting?
Just imagine that it was Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris or even Bill Clinton who was shot at and nearly k*lled within just an inch. It’s hard to say that in such an event that the certain media outlets like CNN and MSNBC would be so quick to move on from the news.
It really makes you wonder if there’s a coordinated effort from Leftist media executives to drive the narrative away from anything that would give Donald Trump more and more airtime. They seemingly don’t want to give him any press, and especially not press that would give him sympathy like covering the shooting.
It’s certainly not a stretch to argue this considering Kamala Harris has been receiving glowing airtime from CNN and MSNBC almost nonstop. You would think she’s a venerated saint the way they are saying she’s the “savior” of the nation and the “most qualified” candidate ever.
If this is the case, it’s truly despicable and it makes you wonder how Americans break out of this concerning Orwellian trend and timeline.
Stay tuned to the DC Daily Journal.
