During the 2024 presidential race, Republican Donald Trump survived two assassination attempts — the first in Butler, Pennsylvania a few days before the Republican National Convention, the second at his Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach, Florida on September 15.

The first assassination attempt was the focus of a House hearing on Thursday morning, December 5. And the hearing turned into a shouting match when Acting U.S. Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe got into a heated argument with Rep. Pat Fallon (R-Texas).

Rowe grew angry when he thought that Fallon was "invoking 9/11 for political purposes."

Rowe spoke of the "more than 3000 people that died on 9/11," telling Fallon, "I actually responded to Ground Zero. I was there going through the ashes of the World Trade Center."

Fallon angrily shouted, "I'm not asking you that." And Rowe shouted back at him, demanding that he "show respect for our Secret Service members that died on 9/11."

Fallon insisted, "I'm an elected member of Congress, and I'm asking you a serious question." But Rowe told Fallon that he was "out of line."

As the shouting continued, a call for "Order, order!" was requested.
