Secret Service says it's appalled by DEI rhetoric against female agents after Trump rally shooting
NBC News ^ | July 17, 2024 | David Ingram and Curtis Bunn

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.

well it was successful in terms of a fatal bullet was fired at Trump but either God or luck intervened in what was otherwise a successful assassination plan.

And they hid the photo of the female agent ducking behind everyone while looking scared to death.

She wouldn’t be so appalled if Crooks had killed Trump.

Didn’t Earn It.

The Secret Service’s own physical training website showed that at all age groups, “excellent” performance for a female agent is equal to “poor” performance for a male agent.

If I had screwed up as bad as these SS oafs I'd keep my freakin' mouth shut and my head down. They have enough to do cleaning around their own back door without criticizing anyone for anything.

Those women were clowns, scared shitless and bouncing around like water on a hot skillet. Some of the men didn't do much better. It is obvious to even someone stupid that a 5' something woman can't provide cover to a 6' 4" man. That is not just stupid, it is irresponsible.

Now let's talk about their failure to cover vantage points and why they didn't. Who was in charge of the detail? Who made the changes in manpower? Who watered down security to provide more for jill? When do we get the answers we deserve?

It’s not the female agents. It’s the female leading the Secret Service. She failed badly, and there is no way around that.

From what I've read, SS agents are saying screw this and going to work for big fish, etc. The SS doesn't have enough agents to cover the 2024 campaign season.

Interesting discussion, thanks for sharing. The fact that Biden pardoned him wraps up the credibility of the story very nicely.

I agree that the pardoned came from Obama. They typed it up, stuck it in front of Biden & he signed it without ever knowing what he had signed.

Can't honestly state that I understand that. What or who are the big fish etc.? If you could clarify that a little bit, I would appreciate it. 🙂👍

The woman on the stage was assigned to Eric and his family for 3 years. He says she’s a good agent. Don’t know about sunglass girl.

And which female was shouting “ what do we do? What do we do?”

You (SS) are appalled? WE are more than appalled by what we saw happening on Saturday!

That "appalled door" swings both ways, men and girls of the Secret Service!

Well, the nation is appalled at the SS’s of a catastrophic failure whose head agent just happens to be a DEI hire.

Me and 5 deer hunting buddies could have done a better job of covering the grounds and protecting our President ,then those retards. The sniper missed. The SS didn’t do a F@$king thing to save Trump.

Buahahahahahahaha! Watch the female agends preening themselves throughout the episode in Butler. They were worse than Keystone Cops.

All three of them ended up posing beside Trumps Limo as he pulled away. after adjusting themir clothes and gear.What a laugh.

I have nothingaginst hiring women, but DO NOT HORE LITTLE LAP DOGS. WOmen hired by the SS shoud be a minimum of 6 feet, weigh about 180 pounds, and be in excellent physical condition, ready for combat. And they shuuld know automatically how to re-holster their gun without thinking.

DEI in the SS is a huge dysfunctionl lie...and millions of us got to see it in action .

I agree totally with what you say in this post.

I praise the young womans courage and committment to duty but this is just not a job she should be doing.
