Sen. Tuberville suggests Navy SEALs protect Trump following second assassination attempt

Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., suggested former President Donald Trump be protected by Navy SEALs following a second assassination attempt on his life. 

“I don’t know who’s running our country, but somebody needs to step to the plate and at least act like you care about a Republican candidate, but they truly don’t,” Tuberville said Monday during a Fox Business interview. “They could care less.”

Over the weekend there was a second assassination attempt against Trump while he was at  his course in West Palm Beach, Florida. 

“There needs to be SEAL teams. There needs to be military ... I don’t know what these people are thinking," Tuberville continued, according to The Hill.

The Secret Service has requested more funding following the assassination attempt.

Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe sent a letter to lawmakers on the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security, saying the agency needed "additional resources" to keep up with their mission.
