The recent suspension of six Secret Service agents over their botched response during the attempted assassination of Donald Trump is like putting a Band-Aid on a bullet wound. The so-called elite agency, tasked with the security of U.S. leaders, has clearly become a den of incompetence. It took an embarrassing failure in Butler, Pennsylvania, for anyone to even lift a finger. Thank goodness Trump has the nine lives of a cat, or he might not have made it out of that rally alive—barely scraped by a bullet.
The rooftop where the shooter had a clear view of Trump was inexplicably compromised. Heads should’ve rolled immediately, but instead, we’ve witnessed bureaucratic buck-passing. Kimberly Cheatle had to resign, and frankly, the lack of swift, meaningful action smells of deep-seated complacency in the ranks. These suspensions feel like a weak attempt at accountability, a slap on the wrist for actions that should warrant much more severe consequences.

The independent review by Homeland Security shows once again how our so-called protectors have failed to adapt to evolving risks. Are we content with an agency criticized as static and frozen in time when technology and threats are advancing at breakneck speed? These failures paint a grim picture of an agency that’s lost its laser-focus urgency. The question is, how long will the liberals sit idly, allowing their dreamy idealism to weaken our nation’s defenses?
What’s worse, despite these serious mistakes, the suspended agents have been given the right to appeal. Appeals? Really? We’re talking about protecting the potential President of the United States here, not some sideshow contest in a far-left carnival. And yet, some of those involved still hold powerful positions within the Secret Service. If that’s not boundless opportunity for failure, what is?
It’s high time we demand a tougher stance on incompetence. The real question is, will liberal America demand accountability when it comes to their preferred leaders, or is that only reserved for conservatives they’ve so easily vilified? While the suspensions are a step toward accountability, they’ve got a long way to go. Patriots must be ever-vigilant. If we can’t rely on agencies meant to protect the very fabric of America, who exactly can we trust to do the job?
