Secret Service Director Who Previously Worked at Pepsi Faces Calls to Resign After Attempted Assassination of Trump
Breitbart ^ | July 13, 2024 | Elizabeth Weibel

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has faced calls to resign in the aftermath of an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a rally on Saturday.

Cheatle, who previously worked as the senior director in Global Security for PepsiCo, has been the current director of the U.S. Secret Service since September 2022, according to the agency’s website. While working at PepsiCo, Cheatle reportedly was “responsible for directing and implementing security protocols for the company’s facilities in North America.”

The website also notes that before working at PepsiCo, Cheatle had served “for 27 years in the U.S. Secret Service”:

Before joining PepsiCo, she served with distinction for 27 years in the U.S. Secret Service, most recently as Assistant Director of the Office of Protective Operations. In this position, Ms. Cheatle manage a $133.5M budget and collaborated with ten operational divisions and the Technical Security Division to research, develop and deploy technologies that reduce risks to protectees, protected facilities, and protected events.

A witness told BBC News that he had seen a man with a rifle “bear-crawling” on top of the roof of a building close to the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

“I’m thinking to myself ‘Why is Trump still speaking, why have they not pulled him off the stage’… the next thing you know, five shots ring out,” the man told the outlet.

Minutes after taking the stage at the rally, gunshots rang out and Secret Service agents could be seen crowding around Trump, who was later seen with blood on his ear and the side of his face.

After being ushered away by the Secret Service, the former president later revealed that he had been “shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part” of his right ear.

Seems to be a difference between protecting Presidents and protecting Pepsi’s secret recipes

She’ll give her full response once she locates her middle-finger emoji.

Maybe she had a mission to change the Secret Service's "fratty" image.

From guarding CHEETOS and QUAKER OATS to guarding presidents. Great country.

No. Before being put in charge of protecting the PRESIDENT, she spent 27 years protecting the PRESIDENT.

Don't fall for lies, regardless of where they come from.

Excerpt from a speech given to the SS managing board by the former Pepsi executive.

“We’re gonna turn the Secret Service into a worldwide brand. Branded mirrored Secret Service sunglasses, Secret Service clothing line, Secret Service Blue Tooth with the curly wire, Secret Service credit cards...We’re gonna knock this out of the park! We’ll make millions...We’ll have these little ‘SS’ logo pins to wear...what? World War Two, that’s not relevant. Nobody knows anything about...what did you call it? World War Two...not relevant...now as I was saying...”

Please explain why a roof top, with ladder access, 150 yards from one top 20 highest value targets in the world, which had clear line of sight to both the stage and the egress route to the exit car, was left unguarded and uncovered? At a very bare minimum you have a uniform standing at the ladder.

No matter what resources they are using, local state federal, their own, the Secret Service owes the site. So all the lying and blame shifting does not address the fundamental fact that the Secret Service, which works for the Biden Regime, operated with criminal level negligence.

Biden high-ranking officials don't resign. Biden hasn't fired anybody no matter how badly things went.

He won't admit the failures on his watch.

this is somewhat predictable, the assassination of Trump failed just like Russian collusion, impeachments, criminal indictments, etc..

Trump will now probably be guarded like Fort Knox, if they try to take him out a 2nd time, a softer target might be his immediate family, Barron, Melania or one of his other kids who probably don’t have the same level of security.

This won’t stop after the election and if Trump wins, the potential violence will extend into his presidency.
