Congressman Peter King – White House Breach is “Absolutely Inexcusable”

Peter King, White House Breach

It’s refreshing to know that there are some in Congress who are demanding something be done to make sure the this doesn’t happen again. Peter King, a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, spoke on Fox News Sunday and called the total lapse by the Secret Service “absolutely inexcusable,” and he suggested a congressional hearing into the breach of security be done.

“This is absolutely inexcusable! This demands a full investigation, an investigation as to what happened, why it happened and what’s being done to make sure it never happens again.”

“He could have had a body bomb; he could have [had] a vest on! There can be a lot of conspiracies against a president, a lot of complex assassination plots. This is the most basic, the most simple type of procedure, and how anyone, especially in these days of ISIS, and we’re concerned about terrorist attacks, someone could actually get into the White House without being stopped is inexcusable.”

Needless to say, I disagree with just about everything Peter King has to say. He’s a Republican, so there. But in this case, I am in agreeance with the man. I am pretty shocked!. That someone can jump the fence and be allowed to go on a Sunday jog casually across the North Lawn, up to the doors of the White House and then enter the building is freaking mind-boggling!

According to the response from the Secret Service, the man wasn’t taken down because he didn’t appear to have a weapon. Huh? So that allows him free passage into the most secure place in the nation?

The man, later identified as 42 year old Omar J. Gonzales from Texas had a knife in his pocket when he entered the doors of the White House. Can you imagine if he was a suicide bomber?

Absolutely inexcusable indeed!

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
