Who's responsible, what mistakes were made, those are valid questions to ask. But saying, "The shooting happened because of DEI, because the USSS hired some non-white-males" is discriminatory BS and I won't dignify it.
I am honestly asking you your opinion Mori.
I would say that I don't yet know whether the USSS or anybody else is to blame. I'm still learning the details of what happened. There have been some articles on it but I haven't read all of them yet, and it seems like the info is still coming in. I don't want to jump to a conclusion about what went wrong until I learn more. I don't have any particular party involved who I'm trying to protect or attack; if the Secret Service blew it, happy to call them out for doing so. It does seem odd that a shooter could get so close to Trump without being spotted. On the other hand, I can imagine it being almost impossible to protect somebody flying all over the country making tons of public appearances. I don't envy them or the monumental job they have to do.
As far as the problems with the USSS, it was reported that Trump's permanent detail was ordered by the upper levels away from Trump and on to protect Jill Biden somewhere. Trump got the temporary team for the Butler County rally.
It was also confirmed by the USSS that they knew about the shooter for 30 minutes prior to the shooting. Numerous former USSS have said that it would have been just routine to have the snipers on the roof, where the shooter was, so no chance that the guy got there.
From another report:
There is now a very credible explanation emerging that says US Secret Service agents, on orders from Kimberly Cheatle and Alejandro Mayorkas, placed a Secret Service team INSIDE the building where the "shooter" was crawling on the roof, and that the actual shots targeting #Trump may have been taken by the US Secret Service from INSIDE the building. This would be consistent with the audio forensics of the shooting recordings, since the distance would be nearly identical to the rooftop "shooter." This also explains why counter-sniper teams held their fire until AFTER the "shooter" killed Trump. Their job was to eliminate the patsy. Note that US Secret Service had eyes on this young man for at least 30 minutes, watching him with an actual rangefinder, scoping the range of the shot, then with a backpack, then scaling the ladder and going onto the roof. They watched him and reported on his progress. They did nothing to stop him. They did everything but load his rifle and pull the trigger. We need an immediate criminal investigation into Kimberly Cheatle and a hard look at all US Secret Service counter-snipers deployed that day. This stinks to high Heaven. Note that in the assassination of JFK, they also had a patsy, while the real shot was taken by a CIA-run sharpshooter. Cheatle's bizarre "sloped roof" excuse doesn't pass the smell test. She's covering up something.
