Barrasso can be heard telling Cheatle that his confidence is lacking of her for not answering questions regarding the attempted assassination on Donald Trump at his Pennsylvania rally Saturday.
Blackburn brought up to Cheatle that Secret Service was already alerted to a suspicious person, yet still refused to act on that threat before the person was able to shoot at Trump.
Cheatle retorted that this is not the forum to have this discussion, but the Senators firmly rebuked that.
Cheatle diverted by talking about the agents who secured the RNC, then walked away.
The Senators followed and continued to question her.
Cheatle finally got into a restricted area and the video ended.
Infowars reported that Cheatle previously cited a mildly sloped roof as the reason someone was able to shoot at Trump.
