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.

OK. Pull them from the presidential detail. PLENTY of guys in the SS would love to be on that job.
It will only be for a few weeks... Just until we flatten the curve...
There’s a reason why the ratings are as weak as they are for CNN. The only people watching CNN are extreme leftists, ferns at restaurants, empty chairs at airports
POTUS is supposed to protect the SS?
The entire protective team needs to be replaced. Period. IF anyone on the team made those statements to the press, it’s indicative of serious breach of ethical protocol, as well as a potential breach of security. Can you imagine a Secret Service agent saying, “oh, I’m aghast that the President would travel to XXXX country because it’s dangerous there”? “We could get shot.”
Pres. Trump had on a mask. You know the mask which we’re incessantly told “you wear to protect others”. So others are either protected -or- the masks are total BS. which is it?
Which is it?
The answer: “Whatever’s Convenient for the Narrative”
What a flock of “The sky is falling” clucky chickens!
Does the FAKE NEWS never cease from these little RED hens?
Frankly, it may be only Monday, but we’re readying for SUNDAY DINNER = southern fried chicken!
I dont know what to believe at this point. Antibodies disappear in a few months. Doesnt give me confidence in a vaccine working.
And implicit in this lib line of thinking ... masks don’t work!
They should find other work that is less risky than guarding the POTUS...
Like, that isnt in the job description!
The sources were “anonymous”, of course...as they always are.
And the agents were in full PPE
Just like the doctors
LOL!
And their N95 masks. Is Biden and Wallace going to be retested since this is so contagious and Trump had it at the debate. maybe they should quarantine like they say Mike Pence should.
