Driving Vice President-elect Kamala Harris by an undetected bomb. Refusing extra resources for a presidential candidate. Admitting an agent on a White House detail assaulted her supervisor.
Long before the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump on Saturday night such focused a harsh light on the Secret Service, the presidential security agency was already facing difficult questions about its capability, training, recruitment and emphasis on diversity.
Secret Service agents reportedly were even circulating a petition raising questions about their management a few weeks ago.
Those questions are now certain to receive intense new attention after video footage showed a gunman on was able to scale a building less than 200 yards from Trump, get to a shooting perch with a rifle and fire several rounds before being neutralized by a Secret Service sniper team at the event Saturday night in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Several witnesses said they started to yell the man had a gun before he started shooting. And several lawmakers say they are now investigating reports that the Trump campaign had requested additional security resources recently, and was turned down.
“How could you have somebody on the rooftop?” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, himself a victim of political violence when he was seriously wounded at a congressional baseball practice. “There are reports that people watched him climb up the roof and even alerted authorities, and we're going to be looking into that.”
How could that happen with all the authorities around that they miss something so clear that the shooter was able to get that kind of line of sight just 150 yards away from the stage?”

Message: Subpoena these lawmakers. Taxpayers demand to know who organized this heinous assault on democracy-----exposing candidates to harm and assassination----and the number of tax dollars and tax-subsidized aides and office supplies that were used in this atrocity.
A DEI hire almost resulted in DIE.
Hmm. Most of them black.
Has the female running the Secret Service shown her face yet? Or is she still hiding?
There’s a pretty recurring theme in that picture of our fearless leaders but I can’t quite place it...
She is also the one who couldn’t even holster her gun.
DON’T point to the congressmen. Most are black-protected.
JUST bring up RFK Jr. That’ll do the trick-use your brains people.
Both sizes are different. We need to stop being woke and recognize that.
That was fast.
The memes are aplenty.
The paper shredding machines are working overtime in the Hussein/Biden Regime to cover up as much as possible. There is also a request for expert technical advice on taking hammers to phones and tablets. Hillary Clinton is charging a lot of money for her expert advice and experience in destroying evidence.
Biden spoke for about five minutes to an excited crowd of about 300 people.
Nice find.
Zelensky has better security than Trump because of these pigs.
Comments on tv news that the current Secret Service had that one woman too short (5ft 3 or 4) to supposedly cover and protect the 6 ft.3 or so Trump, several women have subpar physical ratings but they lowered the standard to hire more women, one agent’s car was carjacked, and the current female boss of the agency only cares about DEI and affirmative action rather than safety of Trump.
And she should be fired tonight but it won’t happen.
I remember the female agent who said because she hates Trump for his anti-woke policies she would refuse to take a bullet to protect him. She was NOT fired, just reassigned.
