NICE TRY NANCY: DHS Secretary Confirms Secret Service ‘Fully Prepared’ for State of the Union

posted by Hannity Staff - 1.17.19

The Department of Homeland Security slammed Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s “security concerns” argument surrounding the President’s State of the Union address this week; confirming the Secret Service is “fully prepared” to protect the annual event.

“The Department of Homeland Security and the US Secret Service are fully prepared to support and secure the State of the Union. We thank the Service for their mission focus and dedication and for all they do each day to secure our homeland,” posted DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on social media.

Sen. Rand Paul urged President Trump to hold the address in the US Senate Thursday; saying his chamber should host the event should Pelosi refuse to invite the Commander-in-Chief to the House of Representatives.

Sen. Rand Paul directly rebuked Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s recent comments that suggested President Trump delay his annual State of the Union address; urging the Commander-in-Chief to hold the event in the United States Senate.

“Senator McConnell is in charge of the Senate. If Mrs. Pelosi refuses to allow the president to deliver the State of the Union in the House, I propose we move it to the Senate and make it happen!” tweeted Paul.

Pelosi cited “security concerns” for the event; baselessly claiming the partial government shutdown could make the address a dangerous situation for politicians and guests.

The Secret Service corrected Speaker Pelosi’s recent claims that the President should delay his State of the Union address over safety concerns Wednesday; saying the agency is willing and capable to ensure politicians’ safety during the event.

“Secret Service is fully ready to offer full protection during the #SOTU, a sr. law enforcement official tells @petewilliamsnbc. ‘It’s a no-fail mission,’ the official says. Though USSS personnel are not being paid, the intelligence & protection functions are fully staffed. (1/2),” posted a reporter for NBC News on social media.

“We’ve been planning for this for months, as we always do. It didn’t start up 29 days ago,” the official said. (2/2),” he added.

The rebuke comes hours after Pelosi urged President Trump to delay the address until after the federal government officially reopens.
