from The National Pulse:
A U.S. House of Representatives hearing devolved into chaos on Thursday as a shouting match broke out between U.S. Secret Service (USSS) Acting Director Ronald Rowe Jr. and Congressman Pat Fallon (R-TX). The Capitol Hill hearing was held by the Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald J. Trump as part of its ongoing investigation into the attempt on the now-President-elect’s life during a July rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The Texas Congressman blasted the USSS’s handling of security measures, expressing strong disapproval of the agency’s performance that allowed attackers to target Trump on two separate occasions. Fallon singled out Rowe’s presence alongside President Joe Biden as a dignitary—rather than as the Special Agent in Charge (SAC) overseeing security—during the 9/11 memorial event in New York City in September as an example of the agency’s misplaced priorities.

SHOUTING MATCH.
“Actually, let me address this,” Rowe said with an indignant tone—demanding Fallonw’s staff not remove the photo of the 9/11 memorial dignitaries. The acting USSS director continued: “Actually, Congressman, what you’re not seeing is the SAC of the detail off, out of the picture’s view. And that is the day that we remember the more than 3,000 people that have died on 9/11.”
Rowe continued, telling Fallon that he was a Ground Zero responder in what the Congressman took to be an attempt to stonewall his line of inquiry. “I’m not asking you that,” Fallon began before being interrupted by Rowe, who shouted: “I was there, Congressman! I was there!” Rowe, still shouting, demanded the Texas Republican show respect for the members of the USSS who died on 9/11.
“Oh, you’re trying to be,” Fallon said before Rowe—still shouting—again interrupted: “Do not invoke 9/11 for political purposes!”
“No, I’m not,” Fallon shot back, pointing at Rowe. “You are, sir!” Rowe shouted in response, with the Congressman pushing back: “Don’t try to bully me!”
