A newly surfaced hot-mic clip shows Fox News host Jimmy Failla mocking security at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner roughly an hour before a gunman breached a hotel checkpoint during the event attended by President Donald Trump.
In the livestreamed red-carpet segment, Failla quipped that it “looks like they have like two random chicks holding the front door open,” adding that “they’re not even Secret Service people” as he described staffers guarding the entrance to the Washington Hilton.
He went on to joke that organizers “might as well put a door stop in” and even “a scarecrow” at the door, remarks that social media users later recirculated as evidence of obvious security lapses.
After shots were fired when suspect Cole Tomas Allen allegedly rushed past a Secret Service checkpoint with a shotgun, handgun and knives, Failla told Fox’s Trace Gallagher that he had “just left the red carpet” and initially believed he was witnessing “an attack on President Trump” as agents sprinted toward the stage.
Allen, a 31-year-old California man now charged with attempting to assassinate Trump and multiple federal gun crimes, was subdued near the screening area outside the ballroom, with one officer struck but protected by a bullet-resistant vest.
The incident has intensified scrutiny of both hotel security and the wider climate of political violence, with law enforcement officials still “probing” Allen’s motives but noting writings expressing anger toward government officials, as millions still question the event entirely.
On British channel Talk (formerly TalkTV), journalist and former politician Alex Phillips delivered an emotional monologue warning viewers to avoid events “if Democrats will be present because you might get killed,” calling the dinner attack the third attempt on Trump’s life.
Arguing that rhetoric about the “far-right” being dangerous is belied by events, Phillips claimed that “yet again bullets [were] flying through the air at an American event aimed towards somebody on the right wing” and that there is “only one side of politics that is posing the imminent threat to life.”
She accused what she called a “lunatic left wing” of normalizing calls to “stamp on the necks of the fascists” and said radicalized teachers’ unions, coastal states such as California and online activist networks had allowed “radical communism” to seep into key institutions.
Concluding that “this scourge of left-wing pestilence” — including “lunacy, name-calling, violent rhetoric, protests, lies, fake news, [and] violence” — must be confronted, Phillips urged that “it’s got to stop today.”
