Right-wing Congresswoman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene R-Georgia unleashed a blistering attack on Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle during a House Oversight Hearing on Monday.
Greene asked Cheatle if there was a conspiracy to kill former president Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
"Was there a standdown order?" Green asked? "Was there a conspiracy kill President Trump?"
"Absolutely not," Cheatle responded.
Both Republican and Democratic members of the committee called on Cheatle to resign over her lack of answers during her questioning.
While admitting "we failed," Cheatle repeatedly deferred to the FBI when asked for specifics of what happened the day of the shooting and the missteps that took place that day.
"Things are not going well for you," Greene told Cheatle. "The entire country is demanding you resign."
Cheatle ignored calls for her to resign while saying she takes "full responsibility" for the shooting.
She says she called Trump after the shooting and apologized.
"You are a complete failure," Greene said.
She also posted a series of comments on X during the hearing.
"She may be more than incompetent. She may be complicit," Greene wrote.
I’ve never seen a more incompetent woman in my life.

Cheatle should have resigned.
Instead she’s covering it all up, refusing to answer questions and hand over information.
She may be more than incompetent.
She may be complicit.
