Ken Dilanian: Does It Really Make Sense To Have an Open Hotel with a Dinner Like This?

EXCERPT:

DILANIAN: “That is a working hotel. They don't close the hotel during the event. And so the members of the public can go in and out of the lobby and the ballrooms before they get to this ballroom where the dinner takes place, which is down two floors, and essentially in the basement, in the bowels of the building. And there are lots of members of the Cabinet, there were Trump administration officials going to pre-parties. There was no security for that. So if this gunman had decided that instead of doing what he did, he wanted to walk into the Fox News pre-party and start shooting, that would have been an absolute disaster. And that's why this whole thing is being re-examined, because does it really make sense to have an open hotel with a dinner like this, which is essentially a State of the Union-level gathering of the president, the vice president, members of the Cabinet, prominent members of the media, business executives. That's where people are.”
