Biden could start building a bridge to Trump partisans outraged by their leader’s near death by an assassin Saturday by firing Kimberly A. Cheatle, the head of his Secret Service

@ecksmc why TN congressman is blaming a DEI ‘hire’…when all the SS I saw that day were mighty white.

The hoods and tiki torches are showing in this country.

Seems the forward team fucked up and the ones working the day either weren’t listened too—‘hey Bob why don’t we have assests on that roof I can see?’….or 45 continued to choose his ‘best and brightest’. We aren’t living in ‘normal times’ in the US…and given Schedule F and Project 2025–I would rather keep competent to ‘mostly competent.’

@Thumprhare ultimately the buck stops with who's in charge though right?

And the one in charge should be held accountable as well as the secret service agents on the ground that day right?

Can't just dismiss that because of who she is just because she is a DEI hire doesn't mean she immune to criticism or she shouldn't be held accountable

@ecksmc @Thumprhare
It doesn't, and she should be held accountable, but one thing I'd like to know is how many heads of the secret service were called on to resign when previous assassination attempts were made, and whether their mistakes, real or imagined, were credited to their gender or race.

@janallmac @ecksmc @Thumprhare
She is a woman. And we all know they don't have a place of importance in their world.

If you actually read the SubStack its more an attack on attitude within certain institutions

"I’ll-cover-your backside-if-you-cover-mine culture"

Than an actual attack on one person

Also its just one persons opinion, the SubStack, it is not ever one on the right

It highlights the many failures over decades and how in an ideal world the heads that should roll actually end up being protected

@ecksmc @CinnamonGirlE @Thumprhare
The substack does say that, but some politicians here are calling her a DEI hire and demanding her resignation, so there's that too.

I should note that I do not know the first thing about security so can't really say who messed up here. I'm not saying one way or another, I don't know.

I just recognize the pattern of attacking someone for political reasons to rile up a base that dislikes literally everything DEI.

And who would replace her, too?

@janallmac @CinnamonGirlE @Thumprhare

I mean, gotta face reality if it was the other way around politicians from left would be calling for resignations also

That's the political game after all its all about point scoring pointing fingers etc.....

And while some might well and truly be motivated by misogyny and what not doesn't mean everyone is motivated by that
