Well, she LIED about why the SS wasn't on the roof. She said it was too steep, which clearly wasn't true!

“Her dedication”. “Selfless”. This lady was incredibly selfish and arrogant.

We the American people have not seen our President for more than 5 days. Yet somehow we get letters and statements, all timed so strategically? How deep does this coup d'é·tat go. A sitting president is nowhere to be seen. Who is running the presidency?

[scillyautomatic]

We NEED proof of life! America deserves that at a minimum.

[_.-AAA-._]

"Released a statement" means he didn't write it.

I want to see the live video of Bidens press conference saying those words like a president should.

We still dont have the answers of what happened that day. Is that all that will happen to her? just losiing her job? People were killed that day. Its crazy

[goodlookingman]

A written statement … when are we going to see him?

[macmichaels]

She is a scapegoat. The people who told her to change standard operating procedures are the ones WE THE PEOPLE need to drag into the light

[sleepinglioness]

She didn't do anything resigned because otherwise she'd be fired. She should have been fired.
She was/is hiding the truth.
That's what happens when the President's wife chooses a friend for the job.

[HamberdersMilkshakes]

They commanded her to look the other way she did and now she’s paying the consequences for it

[Skipadyboi]

I love that we can all see through the bs ☠️

[rchighfield]

BS she resigned to keep her retirement in tact.

[patriciaburell]

She has only been the director for 2 years.

[RichardTClark]

I truly believe they were involved in this attempt this party just can no longer be trusted anymore!

[nickijeffery]

She did not do the selfless thing. She was pressured to resign. She would not have resigned if she had not been pressured.

[OctPSfever]

Is Biden dead? Is he still alive? Show his face in public, if not resign

[redryder]

So does she get SS protection for rest of her life?

[mstarr]

This situation is bigger than her. If she said anymore she would’ve ratted someone out higher than her. She is the fall guy for this.

[cherylleggins]

Don't the people of this country have right to know what is going on with Biden. And we have the right to know who is running this country.
