In a surprising turn of events, conservative commentator Dan Bongino’s broadcast was suddenly cut off moments after he called for the resignation of United States Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle. Bongino, a former Secret Service agent himself, criticized Cheatle, alleging that she is “not only utterly unqualified but has also made inappropriate political statements.”
The incident occurred in the aftermath of an attack on former President Donald Trump during his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13th. Witnesses claimed that they had tried to warn security personnel about a suspected shooter on the rooftop, but their concerns were allegedly ignored. After the attack, Trump was escorted off stage by Secret Service agents and rushed to a nearby hospital.
In a statement, the Secret Service said that a suspected shooter had fired multiple shots towards the stage from an elevated position outside the rally venue, but was neutralized by their agents. However, the abrupt termination of Bongino’s broadcast has raised questions about the agency’s handling of the situation and the potential political implications surrounding the attack on Trump.
Bongino, a prominent figure in right-wing media, has been actively building a conservative media infrastructure in preparation for the 2024 elections[4]. His rapid rise in the media landscape has been largely unnoticed by many on the left, as he cultivates a loyal audience by emphasizing themes of conflict, survival, and opposition to mainstream narratives.
As a former Secret Service agent himself, Bongino has leveraged his background to establish credibility within his audience[4]. By aligning himself closely with Trump and promoting a combative and conspiratorial tone, he has amassed significant influence in conservative media circles.

The abrupt termination of Bongino’s broadcast has sparked outrage among Trump supporters, with many demanding Cheatle’s resignation. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), echoed these sentiments, stating that “The head of the Secret Service and the leader of this security detail should resign.”
As the investigation into the attack on Trump continues, the incident has raised concerns about the Secret Service’s preparedness and the potential political implications surrounding the agency’s leadership. The sudden cut-off of Bongino’s broadcast has only added to the growing controversy surrounding the event, further fueling the debate about the agency’s handling of the situation and the calls for accountability at the highest levels of the organization.
