Transcript
00:00We were all in the queue trying to answer questions and as soon as we'd run out of questions
00:18they hadn't.
00:19Every one of us had questions that we wanted to ask, we thought we didn't get any of the
00:24responses that were necessary from you, very disappointing in your leadership.
00:29We have called, I have called for your resignation and I would rather you resign tonight or start
00:34answering our questions right now about the death threat to partisanship and allowing
00:39him to go on stage in Pennsylvania at a time when you'd already been alerted that there
00:44was somebody with a spotter.
00:46All these situations were already identified an hour before and you let him go on stage
00:53without the knowledge of him, the team on the ground, and you put him within less than
01:00an inch of his life.
01:01So resignation for full explanation to us right now.
01:04They kept trying to get our questions asked and he never was running.
01:09The bomb is another example.
01:12Mr. Director, he was nearly killed.
01:16You knew an hour out you had a suspicious person and at 5.51, according to the timeline
01:24of your deputy, you identified a potential threat.
01:29And then at 5.53, you told, or someone told, that the sniper, that he was there, but can
01:41you give us an explanation?
01:43Why would anyone allow a president to go on stage when you know that you've got a potential
01:51threat and you've got snipers that are trained on him?
01:54Why?
01:55I don't think that this is the place to have a president.
01:57Oh yes it is.
01:58We're here.
01:59We're here.
02:00You put it out to me this way.
02:03The responsibility of this group is actually to thank the partners who have helped secure
02:07the Republican National Convention, and I would not want to take away from their safety.
02:11Well, we can find a place to go right now.
02:13Yes.
02:14We will.
02:15No, we will.
02:17All right, we'll try to get the president to the podium.
02:21We'll leave you to that.
02:35No, no, no.
02:38We're going with you.
02:40We're going with you.
