Secret Service running around like ‘headless chooks’ following Trump assassination attempt

Sky News host James Macpherson has hit out at the Secret Service handling at a rally in Pennsylvania following an assassination attempt on former US president Donald Trump.

“They can't holster their guns, they're more concerned with securing their sunglasses than Trump,” Mr Macpherson said.

“They're running around like chooks without heads.”

A 5'2" woman cannot shield a 6'4" man with her body. It's not sexist it's reality.

[patg]

The Secret Services diversity and equity program has failed royally.

[timl]

Former Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino has been saying this for months or longer. The agency has been swapping out veteran agents on his detail for inexperienced for a long time. This is disgusting.

You don't need binoculars to see movement from 130 yards.

Secret Service in one word: Compromised

[Russell]

Why is there so many 5ft women as security?

[mongo]

Why are they still carrying his hat? What’s the point of having a 5 ft officer protecting a 6 ft candidate? Must be a affirmative action hire

[truesoulghost]

The woman is the first that needs to go. She’s compromised i think. Bending over in front of him leaving him open after it happened smh

[Tinga]

The SS agents that were women looked confused and not in control.

[cynthiagonzalez]

Nancy and Garland selected those agents.

[AnneTonic]

Trump please get better security. These women can't carry you.

D.E.I AT WORK experience and ability is the last requirement

Thank you Australia… as an American I have to go to you for my news to see what I am not shown on my local media channels.

Ponytails ? What the hell is up with this small female agent thing ? Unacceptable !

[doncheron]

How the hell 5'5 tall, skinny whaman is supposed to act as a BODY SHIELD for 6'2 man?Not enough height, no width, no bulk to absorb kinetic energy of bullets(or even punches).You want a whamen in this job?Count 2 as one man(even then, you need to fatten them up to at least 180 to provide some girth)

[oliphauntsneverlie]

Proven time and time again; everything woke turns to shit.

[thedogtutor]

Hang on ! Let me put my sunglasses on...

[Codyrayify]

5'2" women? 3 of them? the Secret Service looked like it was the 3rd string Summertime Holiday coverage squad and some Harvard summer students to me. Or they were just plain in on the attempt!

[poksnee]

What the hell is the point of female Secret Service agents, or police officers, and firefighters for that matter???

[JayJay]

We need to stop having quotas for women in profession. This is just dangerous at this point.
