In the wake of the failed assassination attempts against former President Donald Trump, the United States Secret Service (USSS) is now facing a lawsuit over its implementation of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) rules.
As Fox News reports, the lawsuit filed by the Independent Women’s Forum (IWF) challenges the agency’s use of “arbitrary” diversity requirements which, the group claims, are harmful to women.
“In our country, it is illegal for the government to discriminate on the basis of sex. That is the Constitution’s 14th Amendment,” said May Mailman, a spokeswoman for the IWF. “But also Title VII prohibits employers from discriminating on the basis of sex. And yet you have the Secret Service, of all agencies, saying that they want to have a 30% female quota.”
Currently, women make up 24% of the workforce in the USSS, still falling short of the “30×30” pledge that multiple law enforcement agencies have taken, vowing to get their workforce up to no less than 30%.
“And we know that Kim Cheatle took this very seriously,” Mailman added. “We know that she made hiring decisions based on this.”
Kimberly Cheatle, the former Director of the Secret Service, received universal condemnation for her poor leadership and multiple security lapses which led to the first attempt against President Trump on July 13th, during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. After several congressional hearings and widespread calls for her resignation, she stepped down on July 23rd, 10 days after the attempt. Deputy Director Ronald Rowe has since taken on the role of Acting Director.
Mailman gave her reasons for being against the 30% policy, saying that “it’s illegal, and you shouldn’t discriminate on the basis of sex,” and also that “it’s particularly dangerous in the Secret Service,” and “particularly harmful to women.”
“As we all remember, when the pictures of that day came out, it was immediately like these women are all cops, and they can’t find their holster,” Mailman continued. “All of the blame seems to be on women, including Kim Cheatle, all the way down. That’s what happens when you have quota systems.”
In the video footage of the assassination attempt, criticism was particularly aimed at the conduct of the few female agents who were part of President Trump’s detail that day. Several women were noticeably overweight, with one seen cowering behind other agents and President Trump immediately after the shots rang out, while another one visibly struggled to re-holster her weapon as President Trump was being escorted into a vehicle to be taken to the hospital.

How about if Ms Kamunism gets all the DEI hire SS agents?
Yup. If Trump manages to return, ALL the DEI agents should be assigned to obama, bidet, and harris. They all championed this behavior, they should be more than satisfied with utilizing the best and brightest they supported.
I still can’t believe that image of the cowering female Secret Service agent.
What a disgusting thing to see.
The one who couldn't holster her gun?
DEI = Didn’t Earn It
Especially the one who can't put her gun back in the holster.

President Joe Biden praised ex-Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who resigned after facing a barrage of angry lawmakers on both sides of the aisle at a hearing the day before on the agency’s failure to prevent an assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.
Biden said in his statement on Tuesday:
Jill and I are grateful to Director Kim Cheatle for her decades of public service. She has selflessly dedicated and risked her life to protect our nation throughout her career in the United States Secret Service. We especially thank her for answering the call to lead the Secret Service during our Administration and we are grateful for her service to our family.

Biden Ordered Secret Service Protection for Cheatle

The Secret Service is providing Kimberly Cheatle, its former director who resigned last month, a security detail in an unprecedented effort to protect a former agency chief amid lingering national anger about the myriad security lapses under her watch that led to the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump and the killing of firefighter Corey Comperatore, according to three sources in the Secret Service community.
Cheatle has faced an ongoing firestorm of fury from Americans citizens, and even rank-and-file Secret Service special agents and officers, over the agency’s failures that created an opening for shooter Thomas Crooks to open fire on Trump, piercing his ear and killing Comperatore in front of his family and wounding two other rally-goers.

Biden appointee no surprise about failure there.
A woman named Mailman. There’s only one Mailman.
DEI is going to die off. Certain things require excellence.
