A security breach at the White House has Rep. Jason Chaffetz steaming about the job the Secret Service is doing.
Chaffetz took to Twitter to vent his frustration about the Secret Service after a man jumped the fence at the White House, ran across the lawn and was able to go inside.
White House fence jumper reportedly made it INTO the White House. Was the door open? Seriously. It was open?

Been investigating the Secret Service for some time. Frustrating. Good men and women but HUGE question marks for their leadership.

Reports of White House fence jumper getting as far as he did are TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.

This is not the first time Secret Service has shown too much vulnerability. There are other unreported incidents. I will continue to push.

President Barack Obama was not in the White House at the time when 42 year-old Omar Gonzales sprinted across the lawn and entered the North Portico while armed with a knife.
