Chaos in Congress

​"Were you the special agent in charge, that day?" Congressman Fallon interrogated. 

​Seven minutes had passed, and Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe was being scrutinized. The two political officials sat on opposite ends of the room, their tension with one another being the focus of attention.  

​A deep breath sounded from Rowe's microphone, before he proceeded: "Actually, let me address this: Three thousand people have died on 9/11. I actually responded to Ground Zero! I was there, going through the ashes of the World Trade Center! I was there-"

​Interrupting his tirade, Fallon shouted across the room: "I'm not asking you that, I'm asking you if you were the special agent in charge!"

​On December 5th, two of our statesmen engaged in a Congressional hearing, relating to the attempted assassination of Trump. For relevant context, President Donald Trump was speaking at an open-air campaign rally in Pennsylvania. On that occasion, a gunman opened fire at him and grazed his ear. Following this occurrence, the acting director of the United States Secret Service has faced significant backlash. Many netizens argue that his negligence might have costed us the collapse of our government. Others even accuse the special agent of being acquainted with undisclosed information. 

To circle back to the subject, Congressman Fallon has given precedence to these skepticisms. ​He raised concerns about Rowe's failure to attend the crime scene near Butler, Pennsylvania. Additionally, he invoked Rowe's attendance at the 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony in New York to bolster his argument. By his logic, Rowe could have presented himself to the crime scene which nearly claimed the life of our Former President, if he showed up to the 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony with ease. 

​In response, Rowe was personally offended by this ​comment and yelled at the Texas representative. Ronald Rowe is certainly justified for feeling so strongly about this event. However, Congressman Pat Fallon presents a convincing argument, which highlights the nonperformance of our Secret Service Director.
