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.

I recall Trump's remark to Joe during the debate, "Have you fired anyone yet, Joe?"

She will not resign, nor will she be fired because she's the one who caused a WEAK security perimeter for Trump and Biden secret approves of her actions.

Incompetence? Or something darker? It was at the very least the former but that doesn’t rule out the latter.

As I posted last night, I think she’ll be fired. The Dems badly need a scapegoat below Biden, especially since his comment last week that, “It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye” is all over the ‘net.

Diversity hire. Zero qualifications except she was liberal and not a white male.

She has to be fired (or probably “made to resign”) to deflect the attention from Biden. Deflecting has lately become the Democrats’ Job One.

More need to resign. Like the fat piggies who can’t holster their gun properly. And local yokel cowards, apparently...

She assigned several females to the team as an affront

I wonder how many 5'3" overweight girlbosses are assigned to President Biden's security detail.

Cheatle’s job is secure. She checks all of the DEI boxes. Heck, she even has a wife!

Her defense as to why there wasn’t enough SS protection will be that she was only following orders.

The SS also investigates other crimes like money counterfeiting. That’s loooong way from protecting the president and other high-ranking politicians.

Yes, this DEI ****h needs to go, and her bald-headed, lying, murdering little imp from hell boss needs to go too.

Then his boss.

Trump can afford private security. He needs to hire a bunch of operators and let the campaign pay for it.

"Her defense as to why there wasn’t enough SS protection will be that she was only following orders."

If that's true, then I've got bad news for her.

It's spelled Nuremburg.

Fair point. OTOH, characterizing her experience as “4 years guarding cheetos” when she spent 27 years in the Secret Service is extremely dishonest.

She needs to resign and take all the DEI hired women with her.
How pathetic was that to see? Running around like headless chickens, colliding into each other,
couldn't holster a weapon. They didn't know what the hell to do.

I want to know if she enforced the rules of engagement for the snipers. According to YouTube by Ben Shapiro (17 minute point) they can not fire upon subject until they take first shot.
