Secret Service Agent: DEI Contributed to Near-Killing of Trump By Susan Crabtree - RCP StaffFebruary 03, 2025 Secret Service Agent: DEI Contributed to Near-Killing of TrumpRashid Ellis A Secret Service agent is for the first time publicly speaking out against the agency’s diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, which he says contributed to the first assassination attempt against President Trump last summer.
A 13-year veteran of the agency who has served in an elite unit and top protective assignments, Rashid Ellis sat down for an interview with the Independent Women’s Forum, a Virginia-based conservative nonprofit.
IWF is in the process of making a documentary, titled “Qualifications, Not Quotas,” about Ellis’s experience and released an explanation of the documentary and a trailer Thursday providing a snapshot of his experience and concerns.
“My initial thoughts when seeing the Butler assassination attempt was dread,” Ellis states solemnly in the trailer. “My stomach was in knots watching it because we had known for years that this was coming.”

It seemed like they assigned the most DEI group to protect Trump when Jill Biden and Kamala Harris, at the last minute, pulled Trump’s normal detail to protect them at appearances in Pennsylvania on the same day.
At least he has appropriate trigger control. But so did my kids when they were about 8 years old.
Pres Jill planned hit .
Lady MacBiden wanted to keep her power and money .
Waterboard the Baby sitter Adulteress.
The planning and pre-event security were the biggest failures in that incident, but the most visible failure was the actual protection team. They were clearly far from the best, and it was a huge embarrassment to the Secret Service.
On the other hand, that incident might well have sealed Trump’s victory.
Back in the late 90s, I remember seeing a kick azz documentary about SS professionals and their training, doing high end coordinated executive protection maneuvers, 2 second weapon disarming, kav maga type take downs, and J-turn gateways in limo mock ups! Flash forward to July 2024, and we have nervous Melissa McCarthy who can’t holster a pistol.
Fight, fight, fight.
Why is that weapon blue? Is it a training weapon and this is a stock photo?

Kimberly Cheatle once upon a time was VP Dick Cheney's security...
Except for Sean Curran who Trump has made Director of the SS.
Does that include Bill Barr and Sessions being hired?
Rene Russo was not a DEI hire. She is a competent agent who saved the President.
Dwarf bodyguards endangered his life.
Why is that weapon blue? Is it a training weapon and this is a stock photo?
What, you want to give DEI hires real guns and live ammo?
Anyone who watched the Butler video of the SS agent who couldn’t holster her weapon knows this.
Because Trump turned his own head to save his own life, we live in an America that is shaped by him. Imagine what America would be like today if he hadn’t.
Were there any non DEI hires that contributed to the errors and oversights that led to the near assassination of Trump?
Reminds me of an old show.
Now that insiders feel safe to talk, we should hear more about this.
