"You're full of sh*t today", Mace interrogates Secret Service Director Cheatle
A supercut of three verbatim moments from Rep. Nancy Mace's questioning of Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle at the July 22, 2024 House Oversight hearing on the attempted assassination of President Trump. Cheatle resigned the following day.
On July 22, 2024, six days after the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle testified before the House Oversight Committee under subpoena.
Rep. Nancy Mace questioned Cheatle in a rapid-fire yes/no format. Cheatle repeatedly deflected direct questions, responding to requests for documents, communications, and personnel lists with "I'll have to get back to you" instead of a direct answer.
This supercut stitches three verbatim moments from that exchange, each cut from the official committee feed and captioned word-for-word:
- "Would you like to use my five minutes to draft your resignation letter, yes or no?", Mace's opening line. Cheatle replied: "No, thank you."
- "Was this a colossal failure, yes or no? Yes. Was this tragedy preventable, yes or no? Yes.", The only two questions Cheatle answered directly.
- "That is a no. You're full of shit today. You're just being completely dishonest.", Mace's verdict after Cheatle said she would "have to get back to" the committee on whether she had provided requested audio, video, personnel lists, and communications.
Cheatle resigned the following day, July 23, 2024. Her responses were contested by the Secret Service. What the footage documents is a sitting congresswoman's direct questioning of a Cabinet-level official at a public hearing.
The footage is the official U.S. House Oversight Committee hearing feed (a U.S. government work / public record).
