Fox News comedian Jimmy Failla was caught on a hot mic scoffing at how lax security was for the White House Correspondents’ dinner — shortly before an assassination attempt was made against President Donald Trump and top members of his administration.
“They have, like, two random chicks holding the front door open … they’re not even trying anymore,” hesaidin a video posted to the social media site X Monday. “I just mean, like, they’re not even, like, Secret Service people; it’s like the girls who work here are holding the door.”
Failla added, “Even if it was the guys, it wouldn’t even make it better. They might as well put a door stop in. They put up a doorstop and a scarecrow.”
The hot mic moment is getting more attention due to recent criticism directed at the Secret Service for its inability to keep serious threats at bay.
In addition to this most recent attempt on Trump’s life, the president was infamously shot in the ear by Thomas Crooks during a speech in Butler, Pennsylvania, while campaigning in 2024.
The Secret Service was hit hard for its panicked response and for not putting an officer on the sloped roof from which Crooks fired his weapon.
Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri put out awhistleblower reportin September of 2024, noting the failures of the Secret Service that day.
Part of the report read, “On July 13, law enforcement personnel abandoned the rooftop of American Glass Research Building 6—the roof from which Thomas Crooks attempted to assassinate the former president—because of hot weather.”
The report also pointed out that the Secret Service’s Counter Surveillance Division, which performs threat assessments of event sites, “did not perform a typical evaluation of the Butler site and was not present on the day of the rally.”
In addition, the Secret Service declined offers from law enforcement partners to use drone technology and didn’t request additional security resources.
