Secret Service Rejects Criticism After Trump Attempt

The US Secret Service has firmly rejected right-wing criticism targeting female agents following the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Critics, including prominent conservatives and media figures, have attributed the security lapse to 'woke' hiring practices and questioned the capabilities of female agents. Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi condemned these assertions as misogynistic and baseless, emphasizing the agency's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Director Kimberly Cheatle, under pressure from lawmakers to resign, defended the professionalism and competence of her team. Supporters within Trump’s circle, including Eric Trump, praised the dedication and bravery of the female agents involved. Despite facing intense scrutiny, the Secret Service maintains that all agents, regardless of gender, are highly trained and capable.
