You really can't make stuff like this up.
Ladies and gentlemen, the problem is you, according to the Secret Service.
You made jokes about their female agent who couldn't holster her gun and that's the REAL problem here!
Does the Secret Service think being mean when a [checks notes] president of the United States nearly got his skull clapped by a bullet is unwarranted?
Is the Secret Service more appalled by mean tweets than an abject failure of its entire mission?
Yep!
The U.S. Secret Service said Wednesday it stood by its female agents and was appalled by some of the criticism they've received on conservative social media since Saturday's attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
The Secret Service, in a statement to NBC News, said that the criticism from pundits and influencers was baseless. The agency also stood by its commitment to diversity in recruiting as helping, not hurting, the effectiveness of its protective teams.
Say it with me!
DIVERSITY 👏
IS 👏
OUR 👏
STRENGTH 👏
Anthony Guglielmi, the Secret Service's chief of communication, said in the statement: 'We stand united against any attempt to discredit our personnel and their invaluable contributions to our mission and are appalled by the disparaging and disgusting comments against any of our personnel.'
'As an elite law enforcement agency, all of our agents and officers are highly trained and fully capable of performing our missions,' he said.
'It is an insult to the women of our agency to imply that they are unqualified based on gender. Such baseless assertions undermine the professionalism, dedication and expertise of our workforce,' he added.
I'm sorry, aren't you guys a bit busy right now? Shouldn't you be doing more important things than writing statements about diversity to NBC News?
The absolute last thing any of us needs is a lecture from the guys who nearly got President Trump killed about the merits of a diverse workforce.
We're done with these woke PR stunts.
Absolutely done.
