  4. It reflects directly on the quality of personnel and to the leadership of our country to allow a situation where someone can stand within arm's reach of the leader of the free world without being vetted or screened. Not only just 'somebody', but a known fraud and a person with a known violent past.
    This country used to be the Standard of Excellence. The breakdown of security is unforgivable.
    I would think we are better - and there was a time I think we were better - than that.
