Jason Chaffetz 深入分析了特朗普遇刺未遂事件中暴露出的特勤局安全漏洞，并结合其担任众议院监督委员会主席的经验，对特勤局的管理、培训、以及资源配置等方面提出了尖锐的批评。他指出特勤局的士气低落，投诉众多，任务范围过于广泛，导致其在人员培训和资源分配上存在严重不足。他列举了大量特勤局在历届总统任内发生的严重安全事故，例如白宫枪击事件、奥巴马总统身边持枪者事件、以及拜登副总统住所枪击事件等，并指出特勤局在这些事件中的反应迟缓、调查不力，甚至对国会和公众撒谎。他还批评了特勤局局长Kimberly Cheatle的任职资格，以及其在新闻发布会上表现出的不诚实和缺乏透明度。Chaffetz 认为，特朗普作为美国前总统和总统候选人，不应该需要主动要求增加安保资源，特勤局应该主动提供最高级别的安保措施。他还呼吁对特勤局进行彻底的改革，以避免类似事件再次发生。他同时表达了对遇难者家属的慰问，并对政治言论可能煽动暴力行为表示担忧。
