My thoughts on the security at the WHCD last night.
The first exterior security for me was on the street outside of the hotel. I flashed my ticket and was waved through in one second. My name was not checked against any list, I showed no ID, I was not patted down and did not go through a metal detector. I probably could have shown a ticket from a prior year or a fake one as they barely looked at it. (I don't know who that exterior security was, they were guys in suits).
From that point, I walked into the hotel with no further security check, and I walked down to the Fox pre-party where there were multiple ballrooms that were absolutely PACKED with attendees. Still did not go through any security at that point.
Hypothetically, If I had hidden an explosive in my shoe or my jacket, I would have had no problem getting into one of those ballrooms.
Only once it was time to get into the main ballroom for the dinner did we pass through magnetometers, empty our pockets, and get a pat down. And even that checkpoint was just outside of the dinner room.
Two things can be true at the same time.
Secret Service reacted quickly to an active armed threat and prevented that threat from getting into the ballroom. But the security leading up to that point, in my opinion, appeared to be lacking severely.
Senator Mike Lee is right. The Secret Service that SAVED the President’s life has been DEFUNDED for TWO freaking months
Secret Service just saved everyone in that room
THEY ARE HEROES 🙏
It is worth noting that the many Democratic leaders being protected last night by Secret Service agents (including the one who took a shot to his vest) are still refusing to pay them unless ICE and Border Protection are defunded...
President Trump reposts on TruthSocial:
Clint Eastwood:
"I love when people call Trump Stupid..
You mean the multi-billionaire who kicked every Democrats butt, buried 16 career Republican politicians, and continues to make fools out of once reputable news organizations ..
You mean the guy who won the presidency?
You mean the guy with the super model wife?
You mean the guy whose words alone put a massive slow down on illegal border crossings?
You mean the guy whose mere presence made the stock market smash its previous records?
You mean the guy who created 1 million jobs in his first 7 months in office?
Are you sure you even know what it is you're resisting?
Are you sure you back a party that enables the decimation of every core principal of Christianity?
Are you sure you back a party that voted 100% against the abolition of slavery?
Are you sure you really take a politician like Maxine Waters seriously?
Are you sure you don't see anything wrong with someone who has a 40 yr career as a public servant living in a $4.5 mansion representing a district.

@TreyYingst shares first-hand experience of what happened inside the room as attendees scrambled for safety.

@BigBlueWaveUSA Using a 2 year old video to try to make Americans believe something that's completely untrue reeks of desperation. We're informed and smarter than you must think. Jason Aldean still supports President Trump & I, for one, still support both Trump & Aldean. #notsuprised

@TVMovieAddict I'm so ticked off. Finally something good to watch every week that isn't reality tv. Good actors, interesting plots, great characters, different in a good way...and of course they cancel it after one season. Very disappointing.
@PinkSunsetxo A girl can hope!!! 🤞🏻Fingers crossed for a confirmation announcement soon. Love Ryan's acting skills and movies so much! He's also a major #HallmarkHunk !!!
