Bill Maher asked Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg what was on everyone’s mind: What must you do to get fired in the Biden administration? It comes after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania. The comedian was very pointed with the former South Bend mayor, adding that it looks bad.

“I’ve seen people fired for less, and it just looks bad,” said Maher. Noting that the response seems to be something along the lines of ‘the guy from the other party got shot, and we’ll get around to investigating it.’
The Secret Service didn’t have a drone in the air, whereas the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, did—reportedly conducting aerial surveillance of the rally site before he opened fire. People saw him on the roof, the Secret Service had their sights on him for two minutes before he opened fire, he was spotted with a rangefinder before the event, and law enforcement was in the adjacent building.
Last, how and why was the rooftop left unprotected when it was flagged as a security vulnerability? Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle is supposed to testify on Monday before House Oversight. She’s the one who said there were no teams on the roof where Crooks perched because it was sloped. No one believes that because it’s so stupid. Cheatle was Jill Biden’s gal pal, and the first lady reportedly pushed her for the position.

Later segments had Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) having a good time slapping down liberal narratives. However, the Maher’s ‘why hasn’t anyone been fired’ over this is one of the many questions in the aftermath of what could have been national trauma.
