Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who came under scrutiny for the agency’s failure to prevent the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, has resigned.
She was criticized for failing to prevent the assassination attempt on Trump.
Her organization failed. As the head of the organization her job is to accept the failure and resign. Doesn’t matter the exact reason, she needs to take the fall. Trump never should have been cleared to speak if his safety wasn’t guaranteed. And I fucking hate the guy, but the secret service fucked up, a whole bunch of them should probably be fired, top brass first. Absolutely absurd to imagine they should keep their job after this. Normal people get fired for undercooking chicken, missing a day of work or delivering a package to the wrong place, what are we protecting here?
