This will be the 'most consequential' election: Rep. Mark Alford

 Rep. Mark Alford, R-MO., says he is opposed to giving the Secret Service more resources, arguing the problems at the agency are more fundamental.

Alford made the comments during a Tuesday morning appearance on "Fox & Friends." The lawmaker blamed Democrats in Congress for stalling reforms to the Department of Homeland Security.

"I firmly believe we don't need to throw more money at the Secret Service. We need new leadership. I do believe that the Secret Service needs to be moved from Homeland Security, which has become really a political tool, I think, of this administration when you consider the biggest liar since Pinocchio is running homeland Security, Mayorkas right now. It needs to go back to Treasury," he said.

"The problem is Schumer and his Senate shenanigans. No one over there wants to do anything. They don't they don't want to rein in Homeland Security. He comes to Congress in his really arrogant tone and denies the truth and outright lies. It's time for him to go. Schumer won't do anything about it, but he won't do anything," he added.
