Dem Rep. Ro Khanna to Secret Service Director Cheatle: ‘You Should Resign ... and I Hope You’ll Consider It’

EXCERPT:

KHANNA: "There's nothing more that you have to say? I mean, do you really believe at this moment, given how divided the country is, and the questions asked, that your service in this role is the best for the nation? I mean, I’m not saying you can’t do public service again, you can’t do something else again. Do you really genuinely, in your heart, believe that you being in this role is what’s right for America at this moment? I mean, do you think there are people who are Trump supporters who have confidence in you? The one thing that — we’ve gotta have agencies in this country that transcend politics, that have the confidence of independents, Democrats, Republicans, progressives, conservatives. Do you really believe that the majority of this country has confidence in you right now?"

CHEATLE: "I believe that the country deserves answers, and I am committed to finding those answers and providing those answers."

KHANNA: "Look, I believe, Director Cheatle, that you should resign. I think there are colleagues on both sides of the aisle who believe that, and I hope you’ll consider it. I yield back."
