Pfluger Introduces Counter SNIPER Act
WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) introduced the Counter Secretary Negligence In Protecting Election Runners (SNIPER) Act to require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary to provide timely, impartial, and transparent determinations for a presidential candidate’s eligibility for new or augmented United States Secret Service (USSS) protection.
Under current statute, the acting DHS Secretary, in consultation with a Congressional advisory committee, has sole discretion to authorize U.S. Secret Service protection to presidential candidates. This legislation comes at a pivotal time due to the attempted assassination of Former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, and the subsequent questions regarding resourcing of USSS assets to the Trump campaign.
“In today’s highly divisive political climate, the DHS Secretary owes all presidential candidates fair, apolitical, timely, and transparent consideration of USSS protection,” said Congressman Pfluger. “Our country was millimeters away from a presidential assassination. We must provide adequate security for all presidential candidates—no matter their party affiliation.”
Background:
DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas declined three requests from Robert F. Kennedy for USSS protection, most recently in December 2023. Secretary Mayorkas provided no justification for denials and ignored requests for months. Kennedy faced numerous credible threats including the arrest of an armed man impersonating a U.S. Marshall at a campaign event. Historical exceptions for extending U.S. Secret Service protections beyond front runners include: Ben Carson, Bernie Sanders (2016); Herman Caine, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich (2012); Pat Robertson and Jesse Jackson (1988).
Pfluger Statement on President Biden Dropping Out from Presidential Race
WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) released the following statement after President Joe Biden announced he would be dropping out from the 2024 presidential election:
“For the last several years Democrats have perpetrated a fraud against the American people. We were called liars and exaggerators and accused of producing “cheap fakes” when we questioned the mental fitness of the Commander-in-Chief. We have been vindicated. Complicit in this fraud are Congressional Democrats and party leaders who are now discarding the 14 million votes in this year’s Democratic primaries. If President Biden is not fit to run for President, he cannot be President. He should resign immediately, if he does not, every Democrat must call for his resignation. Vice President Harris owns all of the Biden-Harris policy failures and she now must be asked “What did she know and when did she know it?”
