Ohio Sen. JD Vance has called for a thorough investigation into the recent assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump. Vance expressed concerns over the security measures in place during the incident, emphasizing the need to understand the circumstances surrounding the attack.
In an interview with Fox News, Vance highlighted the quick response of the Secret Service agents who protected the former president during the attempt on his life. However, he questioned why the shooter was able to get within 150 yards of the President, raising doubts about the security perimeter.
Recounting his own experience during the incident, Vance mentioned that he was playing mini golf with his children when news of the assassination attempt broke. He shared his initial reaction of fear and concern for President Trump's safety, acknowledging the potential impact such a tragedy could have had on the nation.
As a former United States Marine, Vance expressed his belief that a 150-yard security perimeter may not have been sufficient to prevent such an attack. He stressed the importance of reviewing security protocols to ensure the safety of high-profile individuals like the President.
While Vance had previously suggested a link between the rhetoric of the Biden campaign and the assassination attempt, he did not reiterate this claim in his recent statements. His focus remained on the need for a comprehensive investigation to uncover any lapses in security that may have contributed to the incident.
