Kamala Harris has officially lost her Secret Service protection, and the media is treating it like the plot twist of a political thriller. Calm down, folks—Donald Trump didn’t shove her onto a Greyhound bus with no seatbelt. The reality? Harris has been out of office since January. By law, former vice presidents only get six months of taxpayer-funded protection. Her six months ended in July. Case closed.
Biden’s Parting Gift: A Special Extension
But of course, Joe Biden couldn’t resist slipping Harris a political freebie before shuffling off stage. He signed an executive memorandum giving her a full year of coverage instead of the standard six months. Why? Because when you’re part of the Democrat club, rules don’t apply. Trump simply revoked that special extension, putting her back where every other former vice president has been before. Shocking, I know—equal treatment under the law.
Historical Norms: What VPs Really Get
Let’s look at the record. Joe Biden lost his Secret Service detail six months after he left the vice presidency in 2017. Mike Pence? Same deal in 2021. Dick Cheney? Done after six months. Al Gore? Gone. Not one of them whined about being abandoned by America or demanded a lifetime security squad. Harris got extra coverage courtesy of Biden, then lost it when Trump hit delete. That’s not cruelty. That’s normal. Even Fox’s own reporting spelled it out: “Vice presidents typically only get six months of protection after leaving office. Joe Biden extended hers.” Clear as day.
The Politics of Victimhood
Naturally, Democrats are calling this “dangerous” and “political.” California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass are practically fainting in outrage. But let’s get real. These are the same politicians who told everyday Americans they didn’t need police, guns, or border security. Now that Kamala has to live under her own party’s “defund the police” logic, suddenly it’s a national crisis. Spare me the theatrics.
The Safety Theater
And let’s not forget what all this is about—her book tour. Harris’ new memoir “107 Days” kicks off September 24, with stops in New York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles. The transcript made it crystal clear: her publishers and hosts will now be footing the bill for private security. Translation: Kamala’s not going to be stranded at a Motel 6 with a can of mace. She’ll have a team of hired guns on standby, paid for out of her fat book advance. If Obama, Hillary, and every other political celebrity can manage private protection, so can Kamala.
The Real Story
So what really happened here? Trump didn’t “endanger” Harris—he enforced the law. Biden bent the rules to give her extra perks. Harris and her defenders don’t want equality; they want special treatment. And when Trump says no, they scream about safety, democracy, and victimhood. But the facts don’t lie: she got more time than every other VP before her, and now she has to do what the rest of us do—pay her own way.
Final Thoughts
Kamala Harris had over six months of taxpayer-funded Secret Service protection. That’s the norm. Biden gave her a bonus year. Trump took it back. She’s got a lucrative book deal, a nationwide tour, and more than enough money to hire private security. The sob story doesn’t fly. End of drama.
