Chris LaCivita, a top adviser to former President Donald Trump, recently spoke out against right-wing criticism directed at the women who were part of Trump's security detail during a recent assassination attempt in Pennsylvania. The criticism, including comments made by Florida GOP Rep. Cory Mills, questioned the qualifications of the Secret Service agents, particularly focusing on diversity, equity, and inclusion hires under the Biden administration.
LaCivita, who was present at Trump's rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, strongly defended the Secret Service agents, emphasizing that they bravely put their lives on the line to protect Trump during the incident. He dismissed any negative remarks about the agents as baseless and uninformed, calling those who criticized them 'idiots.'
Highlighting the courage and quick actions of the female agents involved, LaCivita praised their bravery and described their response as 'bada**.' He commended their swift and decisive actions in ensuring Trump's safety during the dangerous situation.
Additionally, LaCivita mentioned that the Trump campaign is prepared for various scenarios, including the possibility of President Joe Biden deciding not to run for re-election in 2024. He expressed confidence in the campaign's readiness to adapt to any changes in the political landscape.
When asked about whether Trump was receiving counseling or professional mental health care, LaCivita dismissed the notion, stating that Trump did not require such services. He portrayed Trump as resilient and self-reliant, indicating that the former president was not seeking any form of mental health support.
