MAGA lawmaker: 'What on earth does the FBI actually do' — besides jail a pro-life granny?

The head of the FBI gave a hearing before Congress on Wednesday, revealing new details about the attempted assassination of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, prompting one GOP lawmaker to question the agency's priorities.

FBI Director Christopher Wray met with members of the House Judiciary Committee to give an update on the investigation into the attack, sharing that 20-year-old shooter Thomas Crooks scoped out the area and flew a drone over the event space before taking fire on the former president.

“Why didn’t they have the place locked down? Why didn't they have their own assets flying out there?” Texas Rep. Chip Roy asked during a segment with Fox News host Neil Cavuto after the hearing. “What on earth does the FBI actually do besides put a 75-year-old grandmother in prison?”

Roy is referring to Paulette Harlow, a woman convicted and sentenced to two years in prison in 2023 for blockading a Washington abortion clinic, according to The Associated Press.

Roy expressed his frustration that the FBI seemingly had ample time to prevent the attempt on Trump’s life, as Crooks was found to have walked around the area where the rally was held three times before climbing atop a roof and taking aim at Trump.

“The Federal Bureau of Investigation can't stop this shooter meanwhile they put a 75-year-old woman in prison for two years because she was praying at an abortion clinic,” Roy said. “Their priorities are all out of whack.”
