Fox reporter was sitting next to Caroline Leavitt's husband and said "you need to be careful tonight"….seems like a weird thing to say

I thought I heard them say her husband said that to the fox news person.

I have dealt with secret service once. They came a few days before an event with Pence. In theory someone could have been there for a week and not been searched but this is something that was known about for a year here not last minute like mine.

why did the President and the Press report he WOULD BE AT THE WASHINGTON HILTON

for literally days in advance?!?!

isn't that like Secret Service 101 to not disclose where POTUS will be days in advance?!?!

it's the White House Correspondents Dinner…the world knew he would be there.

I believe he announced his attendance this year some time ago, and the location wasn't exactly secret.

How this idiot got this close is a big question

He was at the entrance right before the metal detectors


he was already INSIDE the hotel before being stopped at the magnetometers

so he already got down a flight of stairs near to the Ballroom

that should not be allowed to happen to get through a few rings of security


Why? It would make sense the metal detectors would be the stop that reveals the firearms. Are you saying they needed an outer layer that also includes metal detectors? So that everyone goes through metal detectors twice?

Where is the security outside? How does some random roll up to a tuxedo dinner?

The Hilton is a working hotel with hundreds of guests.

clearly they should have had a major security perimeter AT THE DOORS to get into the hotel

instead they were running this like the Montana Farm Convention

have you ever been to a FOOTBALL GAME?!!

are the magnetomoters inside the stadium- or OUTSIDE the stadium!?!

so we have better security at the Washington Commanders game than where the PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT and most of the Cabinet were all in one room.

I would imagine it had to do with the fact this is a hotel, with many rooms that someone could stay in a week beforehand. Metal detectors likely had to be closer to the ballroom.

This is a great point.

I'm old enough to remember when Candace Owens was viciously mocking Erika Kirk when Erika had too many threats at at TPUSA event...

so in Washington DC during a war with Iran

they can't come up with 12 magnetometers at two different locations?

in a country of 320 million people.

you really want to stand by that?

I don't think they had much physical space to work with. It's street, lobby, maybe a hallway, then I presume the ballroom itself. I doubt they closed the hotel completely too.

ETA: Just RTT's map above. Jeez. They had even less actual physical space to work with than I imagine. You aren't getting "multiple" rings of checkpoints with that.

The hate rhetoric the dems have brewed in this country is sickening….

It's really unreal. Someone has got to step up and call off the hounds. Are there any leaders in that party?


Leaders?! Their leaders are the ones yelling the loudest. Everyone of them want him dead, along with the rest of us.

It's just unfathomable to me. I couldn't stand Biden but I didn't want him harmed. Just unreal. A total lack of humanity.

Conversely, I'm no Trump fan, but I don't want to see him harmed. That's not stopping anyone on here from painting with that broad brush, though is it?

Sorry, man, but the vitriol aimed at Trump is unprecedented. Hopefully you're vocally fighting that in your circles.

Look at the vitriol and violent rhetoric directed at Democrats on this thread and hundreds, if not thousands of others. People on this very thread calling for Dems "to be removed the earth."


In real life only republicans have been actual targets. This board is nothing but conversation.

we don't know the exact layout of the security and you are not making any sense. Let's see what comes out in the next few days. But magnetometers too far from the area you are looking to protect are not helpful.

So no randoms or people that have been checked below the surface floor. Meanwhile this guy just slid in.

Beats me. I don't know the security plan. Just saying the physical space they have available to actually work with and set up traditional security measures is pretty limited.

Sounds like a plan!

Welp, that pretty much explains everything. Lone wolf sprinter.

ETA: Could also explain the non lethal apprehension of him. He went straight down the middle. Crazy crossfire situation. Extremely reluctance to mag dump at that point.
