Rebel Comics Skewer Secret Service’s Massive Fail on Trump Shooting

admin July 22, 2024

Imagine being a satirical comedian and knowing so many ripe topics are off limits.

Consider:

  • Hunter Biden’s laptop
  • The porous U.S.-Mexico border
  • All things woke
  • All things DEI
  • Biden’s inflation woes
  • And, until a month ago, Biden’s cognitive decline

We can add one more item to that list. The systemic failures by the Secret Service that almost got a presidential candidate killed. It did lead to the death of a Pennsylvania man plus two injured souls.

You won’t hear Stephen Colbert pummeling Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle for what appears to be a gross dereliction of duty. Jimmy Fallon, who didn’t even reference the Trump assassination attempt in his first “Tonight Show” following the tragedy, can’t go there, either.

Wrong narrative. It paints Big Government in a bad light and could help President Donald Trump re-take the White House.

So the jokes are left untold. That leaves it to rebel comedians to speak truth to power.

Tim Dillon spent much of his latest podcast railing against the Secret Service for missing so many red flags during the disastrous July 13 Trump rally when the shooting occurred.

Dillon mocked Cheatle’s assertion that she couldn’t put any Secret Service agents on the roof where shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks set up his shot.

Why? The roof’s slope made it too dangerous, she said with a straight face. He turned the farcical comment into a Seussian nursery rhyme.

“‘We were gonna put someone on the roof but they said nope, because the roof was sloped, so we couldn’t do anything at all because the Secret Service agents might fall,'” Dillon joked before turning serious. “They’re not even trying anymore. This is literally one of the most offensive lies I’ve ever heard that the roof sloping was the reason why they did not clear the roof.”

He also played a video showing Crooks milling around the building where he would later open fire, acting in a very odd manner.

“That’s the most suspicious thing I’ve ever seen in my life,” Dillon cried.

“The Boyscast” hosts Ryan Long and Danny Polishchuk also weighed in on the Secret Service’s disastrous performance and spin.

“[The sloped roof] was too dangerous for a Navy SEAL?” Polischuk asked, referring to the military training some Secret Service agents have prior to the gig. “A Green Beret couldn’t deal with a minor slope, but the kid had no problem … none of it makes any sense and the more you think about it, the less sense it makes.”

Polishchuk and Long noted how many rally-goers tried to warn the on-site security about the man on the roof and his suspicious behavior.

And they let former President Donald Trump speak anyway.

“I don’t know if you heard me, but there’s a sloooooope,” Long said, imitating a Secret Service agent on site.

Dave Landau, co-host of The Blaze’s “Normal World,” weighed in on the matter from the stand-up stage. Landau brought up the assassination attempt during a recent club appearance, and he shared it on his X account.

“They tried to kill the president, the ex-president or the next one,” Landau said with a comical gesture given Trump’s current poll numbers. “Apparently, the Secret Service is called that because when you see an assassin they keep it a secret.”

“There’s a guy on the roof,” Landau said, noting how bystanders tried to warn security officials of Crooks’ presence before the melee.

“Ahhhh,” Landau said, mocking the muted reaction to the warning.

“I think he’s got a rifle!”

“Shhhhhh!”

Bill Maher cashes corporate checks for a living, but he’s not as beholden to progressive narratives as his late-night peers. So Maher pressed “Real Time with Bill Maher” guest Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg on why Cheatle still has a job after all the apparent failures that day.

“Should Joe Biden have fired the Secret Service head?” Maher asked him on Friday’s telecast. Buttigieg suggested such a decision requires deliberation. Maher wasn’t sold. He suggested any feet dragging had political connotations.

“I’ve seen people fired for less, and it just looks bad … It looks like, ‘Well, the other guy from the other party got shot. Well, we’ll look into it if we have time.’”
