Another DEI Disaster Unfolds
The United States Secret Service (USSS) is supposed to be the elite force that stands between the President and the gravest of threats. But what happens when the very people tasked with protecting our nation’s leaders start compromising their mission for personal reasons? We saw a shocking example of this recently when a female Secret Service agent allegedly abandoned her post at a Trump campaign rally in North Carolina to breastfeed. Yes, you read that right. This isn’t some fictional tale—this is the state of our Secret Service in 2024, thanks to the misguided leadership and the disastrous DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) practices that have infected the agency.
An Unbelievable Breach of Security
It’s hard to believe that something like this could happen in the Secret Service, the agency that once prided itself on discipline and dedication. But here we are, with reports confirming that the agent not only left her post but also brought two family members into a restricted area without proper security clearance. This room was designated for essential Secret Service work—work that could mean the difference between life and death in an emergency.
The site agent discovered this shocking breach during a final sweep before the event. The image of a Secret Service agent breastfeeding in a room meant for crisis management is not just unbelievable—it’s a slap in the face to every American who expects and deserves the highest level of security at these events.
A Culture of Complacency Under Cheatle
This latest fiasco is a direct result of the rot that set in under former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle. Appointed by President Biden in 2022, Cheatle was the poster child for DEI initiatives, bringing in policies that emphasized diversity over competence. And look where that’s gotten us. Under her leadership, the Secret Service’s operational challenges have only multiplied, despite a bloated budget that now stands at $3 billion.
The incident in North Carolina isn’t an isolated event. It comes on the heels of a more serious failure—the assassination attempt on former President Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, just last month. Let’s not forget that in the wake of that attempt, reports surfaced that Trump’s security team had repeatedly requested more agents and better equipment, only to be turned down by the Secret Service. This agency, which is supposed to be the best of the best, is now plagued by understaffing and morale issues. And why? Because of leadership that prioritized ticking diversity boxes over maintaining the high standards that the Secret Service was once known for.
The Fallout: A Wounded Agency
The incompetence doesn’t end there. After the attempted assassination in Pennsylvania, Cheatle was forced to resign—too little, too late, if you ask me. She’s been replaced by acting Director Ronald Rowe, but the damage has been done. The Secret Service’s reputation is in tatters, and it’s not clear how long it will take, or if it’s even possible, to rebuild.
To make matters worse, there are reports that Secret Service agents are being reassigned from President Biden’s team to Trump’s due to the heightened threats against the former president. The fact that agents have to be pulled from one detail to cover another is a clear sign that the agency is stretched too thin. And let’s be honest—this situation wouldn’t have arisen if the agency had been managed properly in the first place.
Final Thoughts
The Secret Service is supposed to be the gold standard in protection, but under the influence of DEI-driven leadership like that of Kimberly Cheatle, it’s become a shadow of its former self. From abandoning posts to breastfeed to ignoring critical security requests, the agency’s failures are stacking up. It’s time to take a hard look at what’s gone wrong and demand real change before another crisis strikes.
