Catholic Rep. Pat Fallon was one of the members of the House Oversight Committee who called on Kimberly Cheatle to resign, because of the Secret Service failures that nearly resulted in Donald Trump’s assassination.
WASHINGTON — Catholic Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Texas, had never had any long-gun training in his life. He owns an AR-15 but until recently had only ever shot it once six years ago.
Following the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, Fallon and his team recreated the scene in Savoy, Texas. He lay on a sloped roof 130 yards from the paper target at 6:30 at night, mirroring closely the scenario in Butler. He took eight shots with two distinct types of scopes.
