The U.S. Secret Service said Wednesday that it stood by its female agents and was appalled by some of the criticism they’ve received on conservative social media since Saturday’s attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
The Secret Service, in a statement to NBC News, said that the criticism from pundits and influencers was baseless. The agency also stood by its commitment to diversity in recruiting as helping, not hurting, the effectiveness of its protective teams.
The statement follows a multiday campaign of derision by some conservatives who accused Kimberly Cheatle, the Secret Service director, of being unqualified and who said that female agents assigned to Trump hadn’t been physically capable of protecting him. Some critics said the Secret Service should return to being all-male, which it hasn’t been since 1970.

the elements of a successful assassination are all there including a kill shot made, True Trump didn’t die but all the elements of a successful assassination were present.
I’m over here posting because I got kicked off Facebook for an hour for violating community standards. They don’t tell you what you did, I hit must have hit the Like button on something they didn’t like.
The Lord only knows why he took one patriot home in that assassination attempt. My sincere condolences to the man’s family and loved ones.
One bent over to pick up a hat from the stage. She went from being able to protect his elbow to just his knees.
Question is, did she fail badly because there was a successful assassination "attempt"...or because it failed to assassinate?
“Appalled”.
Oh, no.
Wouldn’t you think they’d just STFU instead of dragging this out and continuing to draw attention to their incompetence?
It isn’t so much as a female issue but the physical. A short slight built weak little man couldn’t do much better. Does the military still have height requirements? Don’t they have to pass physical tests or have they totally eliminated that?
Sisters?
You’d have a hard time convincing a die-hard DemonicRat lemming that the “assassination” was successful.
Secret Service remake of TV program Get Smart.
This is how the left silences any free speech they don’t like, it is simply labeled “hat Speech”.
Looking at the DEI agents, more like "fat" speech.
They looked pathetic. there are plenty of capable women in the country but they just aren’t being hired by the SS. Notice at the convention its all big guys guarding Trump.
Attempted misdirection on the part of the Secret Service. The focus should be on why the principal nearly got killed, not on the feelings of the team. They had one job.
They allowed him to shoot before taking him out even though they had more than amble opportunity.
I also predict that they will try again. This is not a one off. If at first you do not succeed, try, try again with be their battle cry.
Furthermore, it wouldn't surprise me at all to learn that the GOPe Republican RINOs were also involved in the attempt to assassinate Trump.
Yep, there were teams of assassins following Kennedy. One team was in Chicago, another in Tampa. It all came together in Dallas.
A really eye opener was the Chicago plot.
This video is primarily about the black Secret Service agent, Abraham Bolden, but covers the Chicago plot. Must see ! The patsy was in place too !
Abraham Bolden and the Chicago Plot also available on Rumble
These as statements show they are stupid or their egos won’t let them admit the people and criticism is right and they are wrong...
Deja vu
She was probably driven CRAZY by KAMALA’S CACKLIN’!!
Me too. Normally, I’m pretty low-key, but this just torques me to no end. And the SS Director is running from Legislators...HIDING in the bathroom!
