JIM TREACHER: Maybe the Secret Service Isn’t a Vehicle for Female Empowerment.
“Well, you wouldn’t do any better under fire, Mr. Blogger!” You’re exactly right. Which is why I shouldn’t be in the Secret Service any more than they should.
Kimberly Cheatle, head of the Secret Service, got the publicity she wanted for hiring a bunch of women. Now she’s got a bunch of questions to answer.
How did this happen?
How did a guy with a rifle access a rooftop that close to his target?
Why didn’t agents listen to the attendees who spotted him first?
Why was one female agent heard screaming, “What are we doing? Where are we going?”
Why haven’t you cleaned out your desk yet?
That last question is the most important one. I sure wouldn’t want to trade places with Cheatle right now. Republicans hate her for letting this happen to Trump, and Democrats hate her for handing him the election.
The Secret Service has no plans to beef up security at the RNC in Milwaukee, saying: “We are confident in the plans we have.”
They shouldn’t be confident in anything right now. They’re not filming a promotional video with women in Kevlar vests walking in slow motion while contemporary R&B plays. They’re supposed to be protecting a presidential candidate, and they just failed utterly.
Yep.
