Homeland Security Secretary (DHS) Alejandro Mayorkas defended the presence of women serving in the United States Secret Service, noting that they “deserve our gratitude and respect.”
In a statement released on Saturday, Mayorkas wrote that the “statements questioning the presence of women in law enforcement,” in the aftermath of the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump were “baseless and insulting.”
Mayorkas’s statement comes a week after an assassination attempt on Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania. The former president was shot by a “bullet that pierced the upper part” of his right ear after 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire from the rooftop of a nearby building,

No one said that women could not should not be in the SS. I am sure there are many positions that would work for a man or a woman as long as they are qualified and not a DEI employee. But a bodyguard needs to be big, tall, strong, masculine, tough, powerful, a force of reckoning. Like I said on another post. When you say bodyguard I think Tyrus not Kat.

The little short one with the bun was grossly in competent and left President Trumps entire front of his body exposed for long seconds. She needs to be fired. And the one who couldn't get her gun back in her holster, fire her too. They cannot do the job, simple as that.

Show Mayorkas that picture of Trump surrounded by SS agents with the female agent in front only covering him up to his armpit, fully exposing Trump's neck and head for a possible second shooter. Ask him if that's good security practice..
His statement totally ignores reality and the simple primary objective of the on ground agents...be able to physically block the President's entire body with their own bodies and be strong enough and fit enough to quickly push or carry the President to safety.

I am sure there a good women SS agents but the one I saw last week was a disaster. She was flapping her wings around, messing with her gun and had pure panic on her face. Evidently, then sent her there with no training whatsoever. Not only was she a risk to the President, her team but herself.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro "Monster" Mayorkas needs to IMMEDIATLEY be tried for his treasonous and criminal actions against the U.S. Constitution. He will step on your throat if you allow it.

I have no problem with women in the Secret Service, BUT…it doesn’t make sense to have a 5’5” woman as a bodyguard for a man who is 6’3”. If she has the skills (which she should) she could be a sniper. The agents responsible for the immediate protection of their charge need to be tall and strong - not short and chunky.

Put the women in the fight against counterfeiting.
They don't belong guarding the President.

Even when you’re a short male like Mayorkas a 5’3” woman is not good protection. The only reason he keeps midget sized agents in the SS is because they are good for poorly protecting his political opponents. But realistically he could use them to guard any Democrat because conservative Republicans, his natural enemies, aren’t bat shite crazy.

Maybe you should make sure they can put their weapons back in their holsters instead of fumbling it like the one turning from the SUV after Trump got in....I'll bet you the head of the SS NEVER went to agent training...or had ANY police of security experience...

Wasn’t Mayorkas going to be impeached but four RINOs voted against impeachment? I know two from California and possibly two from Ohio? Those guys are the real scum.

It’s common sense that you do not require a five foot six one hundred and forty pound female to in an emergency to “man handle” a six foot four two hundred and forty pound or so male during an emergency life or death situation. In the Secret Service there are thousands of other jobs that females can excel in. That’s the problem we observed when at least three female agents struggled to move Thump out of a line of fire.

These dames have no business being in the SS. Let them do paperwork. The 3 assigned morons were the most incompetent garbage ever. One hiding on the side behind another male agent. Another calling out 'what are we supposed to do', another fiddling with her dark glasses. One of them could not get her side arm back into the holster. But who have these dames as an example. A dumber than straw 'president' whose incompetence stinks to high heaven. Oh, I forgot another brainiac who is a doctor of nothing pushed her into that job. It is the first vegetable that stated to 'put Trump in the bullseye', and whoever in the corrupt criminal WH gave the order to 'go ahead'. That's why there was lousy security and a mass failure all around. At least that is my take of this incident. Strange too that from day one no one ever briefed the public not even the condescending black Shirley Temple and her usual pack of lies.

I've known a few women that would make great Secret Service Agents.
The ones that we saw last week ,if they want gratitude, they should bring me a sandwich.
Although they would probably poison it.

Anyone else seeing the parody videos of that numbnuts female "agent" who couldn't holster her handgun? Hilarious, unless you're her.
She'll probably get promoted a la Michael Byrd. (Screw) up, move up.

If women are so great at security then why do we never see them providing it for the Kardashians? Taylor Swift? Snoop?

Typical Mayorkas. Ignore the facts and just make statements to deflect any and all criticism.
His SS screwed up big time, led by the DEI hires.

Don't feel bad, #17. You may have inadvertently coined an excellent term for the desk jockeys who pursue these disastrous DEI pipe dreams including Cheatle. Where does the magic 30% figure come from? She isn't saying but it's an arbitrary figure she thinks sounds good. Like the rest of the swamp and so many HR types, she substitutes activity for achievement and expects praise.

Mayorkas believes in an open border! What other country in the world believes that? Mayorkas should be replaced by someone who wishes our country well.

That is one of the most profound descriptions of DEI I have ever read.
Until these policies cause personal and painful failure in the lives of the policy makers, they will continue.

Many of the people who are being protected at our expense don't deserve the protection. They only care about diversity when it comes to the protection of those they don't really want protected. Only the best for themselves, though.

Gratitude for what, being born or transitioned to female? We deserve the best protection for our leaders. GTH Alejandro. You should be sent back to Cuba when the mass deportation program begins.

Female SS agents would be bettert for some protection jobs, like guarding Hillary in Chappaqua while she is frolicking in her pool. Most men would lose the contents of their stomachs doing that job. How about guarding Osamabama? Michelle wouldn't have to worry about him cheating on her/him.
