House Speaker Mike Johnson recently made comments regarding the Secret Service's role in protection, emphasizing that their primary duty is to ensure the safety of individuals under their care rather than focusing on diversity within their ranks. This statement follows criticism from some right-wing sources directed at female Secret Service agents after a recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
Following the incident, certain media figures on the right raised concerns about the female agents present on stage with Trump, suggesting that they may not have been capable of adequately protecting someone of larger stature or that they did not exhibit professionalism in their actions.
