Remember how Trump got shot and everyone said the Secret Service isn't up to the task?
Yeah, this isn't helping that perception.
This story, reported by Real Clear Politics, shows how the quest for "diversity" and "inclusion" infected the Secret Service under the former director, Kimberly Cheatle.
Under Cheatle's leadership, DEI had become so normalized that an overweight female agent who never passed her physical fitness tests was not only retained on staff - she was allowed to moonlight as a model. The agent, who was featured in a magazine profile, traded on her job in federal law enforcement and hinted at her Secret Service position in a photo shoot labeled, 'Undercover, But Never Underdressed.'
The female agent, who bills herself as a 'nationally published curve model, plus-size fashion and fitness influencer, and body-positive advocate' on social media, was assigned to protect Kamala Harris' stepdaughter, Ella Emhoff, in New York.
I guess Ella Emhoff, being a woke, Gen Z, New York liberal never asked, "Why did they assign me this guard who couldn't run a mile to save her life?"
After several failed attempts to pass a physical fitness test, the agent was placed in the Special Services Division, which handles support functions for the agency, including the maintenance of the armored vehicle fleet and the screening of mail and packages for the White House complex, according to four sources in the Secret Service community.
Here's the ad the plus-sized agent was featured in.
She literally used her position on the United States Secret Service to sell "big-and-tall" clothing lines??
The Washingtonian covered this agent back in 2019, believe it or not.
Here's a quote from Alison Zupancic, the overweight agent.
'I don't let my size dictate my life, which is why I was so excited to represent Eloquii's #MODELTHAT campaign. It's about women breaking stereotypes and inspiring and empowering other women through their everyday activities. Everyone deserves the right to be loved and acknowledged as a human. I represent change — I am a voice for others struggling with similar body issues and fighting for more inclusivity. So whether you're a size 14 or 24, don't let anyone else put restrictions on your life. Keep after your dreams, break those glass ceilings, and look beyond beauty and body standards. Those limits do not exist!'
Are we still a serious nation, or no?
More from Real Clear Politics on how the Secret Service has continued to push for "inclusion" under Trump.
Unlike Hegseth, [Secret Service Chief] Curran has allowed the few known transgender agents currently on staff to remain, though it's unclear how many there are. It's also unclear whether any of them are currently using drugs and surgeries to transition, something that theoretically could impact their ability to serve in protective assignments.
The Secret Service declined to provide the exact number of transgender agents or officers on staff, citing personnel privacy rules.
Trans and obese people in the Secret Service? After two recent assassination attempts?
