It’s official. The Secret Service has been accused of being racist for how they handled the attempted assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump.
During a meeting with the House Oversight Committee on Monday, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle was answering questions about her organization’s failure to adequately protect Trump at a rally in Butler, PA on July 13. She had a horrible showing and failed to answer many pertinent questions about the matter.
However one question she should not have had to answer came from Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), who couldn't help herself from inserting race into this serious discussion. Crockett asked Cheatle if the Secret Service undergoes any bias training, because she thought that her teams responded so late to the threat because Thomas Crooks was white.
“As a civil rights lawyer I have learned so many times in having to deal with law enforcement, that there is usually not a perception of a threat when it is a young, white male even if they are carrying a long gun," Crocket said. "Yet a lot of times, at least in this country, when it comes to law enforcement (seeing) a perceived threat just by somebody having a little bit more melanin in their skin.”

Progressives just love talking about racism, don’t they?

There were an astounding amount of factors that went into the Secret Service’s failure to address the threat that Crooks presented on July 13th. It was a cataclysmic performance that almost tore America apart at the seems.
But of all the mishaps that contributed to this event even taking place, racism was more than likely not even remotely on the minds of any security detail that day. For Crockett to suggest otherwise, and to turn a very serious discussion with our nation’s top security team into a DEI forum, is beyond uncalled for.
