Biden Administration DEI could be at fault for Secret Service failures
Some people might feel bad criticizing a group of people who are willing to put their lives on the line for Donald Trump, but there's no debate that America's Secret Service could have been a little better organized on the day that Donald Trump was shot in the ear at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
While we're not saying that Joe Biden necessarily WANTED Donald Trump to take a bullet to the ear, it's entirely possible that the policies and attitudes of his party and administration are what led to some of the security failures on July 13.
Embattled Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle has seemingly been talking out of both sides of her mouth on this issue. Despite allowing Trump to get shot in the face, she has not indicated that she's willing to resign or take other accountability as a result of this issue. However, she's also admitted that it's ultimately the Secret Service's responsibility to keep the president safe.
On July 13, they didn't
You don't have to be a political expert to realize that the Secret Service could have done a MUCH better job protecting Donald Trump.
Many people are speculating that the reason for many of these shortcomings might be that the Secret Service often hires based on diversity requirements instead of picking the best possible candidates for the job.
Perhaps that's why we saw a female agent who was at least a foot shorter than Donald Trump being the person who was supposed to stand in front of the president and take a bullet for him. Any rational person would insist that you need somebody at least as tall as the president in this position to stop any headshots traveling toward the VIP.
America's liberal Secret Service didn't think that though, as they placed a short, petite woman in front of the president. It was a bit of dark humor seeing her try to stand in front of the president and protect him as Trump towered over her with his head exposed so that any additional shooters would have had a clear look.
Take a look at this video of the moments after Donald Trump stood back up. I'm sure the lady with the ponytail is a great person and all, but she's simply NOT TALL ENOUGH to protect our president's head!

Someone made an edit to the video to the sounds of 50 Cent’s “Many Men.”

It's not bigoted to say that there should be at least some physical requirements for one of the most demanding and important jobs in America.
Kimberly Cheatle does not agree.
Cheatle is not listening to any of your criticisms, and neither is Joe Biden in the White House. Together, these two have transformed the Secret Service into a diversity, equity, and inclusion sanctuary.
Unfortunately for Donald Trump, having a diverse lineup of employees took precedence over getting people who could actually protect him.
"We must embrace diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) across the agency," Cheatle, a lifelong friend of Jill Biden, said after she was picked in 2022 to lead the agency. "DEIA must be demonstrated by all employees — leading by example — through ‘every action every day.’"
Donald Trump wishes they would have been as focused on keeping the president safe as they were on diversity hires.
