CO Fire Marshall who Trump blasted, responds. Harshly.

(and his SS detail)

The Secret Service may have bungled Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s elevator ride before a July rally in Colorado, according to emails obtained in local reports.

A “Civilian of the Year” fire marshal shamed by the GOP nominee for not packing more people into his July 29 rally detailed what really happened during the “elevator fiasco” when Trump found himself stuck for about 15 minutes inside a Mining Exchange Hotel lift.

“It was funny,” Brett Lacey told a friend the following Mondayin an email obtained by KMGH-TV. “Turns out someone (Secret Service or his entourage) had an elevator bypass key.”

“Our folks went and fished them out,” he added. “Elevator guys get there and say ‘What the crap? Who turned this off?’ Turned it back on a voila.”

CNN reports firefighters lowered a ladder into the elevator for the blowhard candidate and his staff to climb. Despite the brief mishap, the Denver television station states Trump was an hour late to a rally at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.
