Didn't have the decency nor the brains to resign when she should have.

[b.r.]

Can i ask what qualified her to be head of secret security in the first place?

[spmarrow]

If you see this, please send positive vibes my way. I’ve been struggling with health issues for years and could use your prayers.

[SouthpawPickingPete-qiqr]

Unacceptable Lapse of Security, kinda like finding a bag of cocaine in the White House....

[Cuzndrw]

A man would’ve stepped down the next day. Her ego and lust for power made her hold on

[LifeLess]

old news we want answers she refuses to give them and she is seriously delusional

[MisterSinisterReviews]

Should have been FIRED! This administration is WEAK!

[Travelingforlife]

Gov was involved 100 percent! Put people in prison now!

Labotamies are being done for free. Call the democratic party and schedule yours today.

The woman in dark glasses behind Trump knew it was going to happen, we will find her😂😂

Did the head of the Secret Service resigned when JFK was ASSASINATED?

[comment]

She should have been fired. She will still get to take taxpayers money because they allowed her to resign.

You will have a thread that will lead you to the rabbit hole if you follow the stock market transactions - a day or a little before the attack on DT. If you do this, it will get a little strange - I will suggest that you have to follow the drops in the value of DT companies. Then connect the names of the owners of the companies that played so hard and voilà.. The sheep was slaughtered and the wolf was free.

resigns, retires with a sweet government retirement package paid for by taxpayers

IS AMERICA IN DECLINE? vote Harris! Make history, let’s keep spoiling these government employees with high taxes….they are the best and they care

[amandagill]

Why do they keep calling this an assasination attempt? Assasination is a word used when it involves important people, not convicted felons, rapists, and insurrections. When those people are almost killed it is called "botched execution."

I don't think she should have resigned unless she was unable to hold the Secret Service officers responsible for this lapse in security accountable for their decisions.
