Florida's Governor continues to sharpen his criticisms of security failings that led to the assassination attempt of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
"The central feature of our nation's entrenched bureaucratic class is never being held accountable for failures," posted Ron DeSantis to X. "The greatest security failure for the agency this century and nobody will be fired or resign?"
The Governor's comments responded to reporting that Secret Service head Kimberly Cheatle would not consider stepping down despite evident failures to protect the former President, though she does claim, a la Harry Truman, that "the buck stops here."
"It was unacceptable," Cheatle told ABC News on Monday. "And it's something that shouldn't happen again."
President Joe Biden, meanwhile, told NBC's Lester Holt on Monday that he had talked to Cheatle, but Biden misgendered the Secret Service head as "him."
On Sunday, DeSantis offered similar thoughts on the incident in Butler, Pennsylvania, which saw the former President wounded along with two attendees of the rally, with another one killed.
"D.C. bureaucratic failures almost never result in any accountability; this time needs to be different. Our country is in the peril it's in partly because the D.C. ruling class has consistently evaded responsibility for its failures," DeSantis asserted.
The Governor urged "an investigation regarding the security protocols used in Butler."
"The answer to the following question must be provided in short order," DeSantis said. "How did someone armed with a rifle get on top of a roof 150 yards away from the stage?"
