Nielsen: Secret Service prepared to secure State of the Union

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Trump administration on Wednesday pushed back on Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) claim that “security concerns” caused by the partial government shutdown should force the postponement of President Trump’s State of the Union address.

“The Department of Homeland Security and the US Secret Service are fully prepared to support and secure the State of the Union,” Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said on Twitter.

Nielsen praised the service, which her department oversees, “for their mission focus and dedication and for all they do each day to secure our homeland.”

The secretary’s comments are the administration’s first public response to Pelosi’s argument that the Jan. 29 address should be pushed back.

4. Zero security for Republicans and Trump

1000% security for Pelosi and the Democrats.

Nothing more, nothing less.

DHS has to be disbanded right here and now, and make the agencies individual again, without the threat of no funding.

8. If I were Nancy Pelosi I'd tell them that the House

of Representatives will not accept slave labor and that Trump can give the speech at the local Burger King.

9. That's not the point, Kirstjen. The point is that they shouldn't be asked.
