'That should never have happened': Inside Trump's Walter Reed parade
CNN Fake News ^ | 5 October 2020 | Kevin Liptak

Afterward, members of the Secret Service voiced escalating concern at what many of the agency's personnel have determined is total disregard for their well-being amid a deadly and highly contagious pandemic. Agents have tested positive for the virus while traveling for the President's political rallies, which he insisted on maintaining even against federal health guidelines. As employees self-quarantine or isolate in place, others have been forced to work longer hours to fill the void. It's a situation that has prompted growing and more vocal concern. "That should never have happened," one current Secret Service agent who works on the presidential and first family detail said after Trump's drive-by, adding that those agents who went along for the ride would now be required to quarantine. "I mean, I wouldn't want to be around them," the agent said, expressing a view that multiple people at the Secret Service also voiced in the wake of Sunday's appearance. "The frustration with how we're treated when it comes to decisions on this illness goes back before this though. We're not disposable." Another veteran Secret Service agent also expressed deep dismay at the Walter Reed ride, though was sympathetic for those around the President given the difficulty in pushing back on the commander-in-chief. "You can't say no," the agent said.

If this is true (it’s CNN after all), there’s some Secret Service agents who need to be weeded out. They are not to be counted on to protect the President.

As pointed out earlier, the SS had to drive him from the helicopter to the hospital.

Also, I’m sure the vehicle has an air filtering system.

Plus his mask.

According the CNN, the Secret Service will take a bullet for the President but they draw the line at a bad cold.

I was laughing at that a bit because I am pretty much certain the president’s personal detail is ALREADY in quarantine with the president. Yes, they are taking precautions (masks, apparently a separate compartment was used in the car, etc) but the detail is in close contact with POTUS and FLOTUS all of the time so anyone on duty last week is quarantined (and probably serving as the duty watch at Walter Reed)

The “parade” should happen on a daily basis until he returns to the White House...

Another non-existent source, made up by Big Media. What a surprise.

The desperation reeks! Obviously, the invisible Biden-Harris Team must be bombing with the public!!

Well, if it is true (note: CNN), there would be no shortage of volunteers to drive it around. And, haven’t a good number of agents already had COVID?

If that is a vehicle used to transport the President, it may have some very sophisticated (and classified) features regarding its interior air supply.

Just like CNN, the story smells bad.

“That should never have happened.”

This story probably never did happen. Sure, I’ll believe anything the Kevin Liptak from CNN types out. Why wouldn’t we all?

THIS guy would be honored to be the presidents limo driver wherever and whenever he wanted to go. But I think the secret service is looking for younger people.

CNN is just pissed that their narrative of Trump being on deaths door and in an iron lung has been disproven.

LOL. CNN just makes stuff up all the time. Why would this be different?

And which SS Agent is going to risk being found out leaking?

“Afterward, members of the Secret Service voiced escalating concern at what many of the agency’s personnel have determined is total disregard for their well-being amid a deadly and highly contagious pandemic.”

Any secret service agents who voiced concern about their job should be terminated forth with. They knew what the job consisted of before they took the job.
