Last week marked Republican Rep. Laurel Lee’s second visit to the site of the rally where President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated. She had gone to the site in late July as a member of the House Committee on Homeland Security before the official task force was created.
“We walked the site — we actually went up on the roof where the shooter was,” Lee said in an Aug. 30 interview. “And in some ways, it actually leaves us with more questions than we started with, because it’s all the more hard to understand why a site of this size, that is small and rural, was not secured.”
Lee is one of three Florida members serving on the task force, along with Republican Rep. Mike Waltz and Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz.
