During Tuesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the failures that led to the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, Senator Josh Hawley got into a shouting match with acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe Jr.

Hawley pressed Rowe Jr. on the lack of accountability and firings in the wake of the shooting.

“You’re asking me, senator, to completely make a rush to judgment about somebody failing. I acknowledge this was a failure—” Rowe said during the questioning.

“Is it not prima facie that somebody has failed? The former president was shot!” Hawley said.

Rowe Jr. said he’s “lost sleep” over the handling of the assassination attempt.

“Then fire somebody to hold them accountable!” Hawley shouted.

“And I will do so with integrity and not rush to judgment and put people unfairly persecuted,” Rowe said. “Again senator, we are looking at this, and they should’ve been on that roof and the fact that they were in the building is something I’m still trying to understand,” Rowe added.

“I just want to express my frustration, director, that seventeen days or whatever it’s been that whistleblowers are telling us more than you are and you don’t know, you haven’t ascertained if there was supposed to be law enforcement on the roof. That seems like a pretty basic fact. I’m also told that law enforcement suppliers offered the Secret Service drones, and you declined them,” Hawley said.
