Opinion: New Questions for Secret Service Boss Kimberly Cheatle over Donald Trump Shooter Fiasco
Dr. Joseph Meyn arrived early at his first Trump rally, wearing a MAGA-red polo shirt with a Brooks Brothers logo while strolling through the metal detectors and snagging a seat near the stage. He immediately noticed what would soon become the scene of one of the biggest lapses in presidential protection since Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981.

“I looked at the field behind the bleachers and half-joking I said, ‘Look at that field, like it's wide open. Like there’s no barriers, there’s no one back there patrolling.
