Secret Service decries rightwing blame on female agents over Trump shooting
Secret Service official says it is an ‘insult’ to imply women unqualified to be agents based on gender
The US Secret Service decried as an “insult” rightwing attacks on the performance of female agents during the failed assassination attempt against Donald Trump, and rightwing claims that the presence of such agents and a woman as agency director are the result of diversity policies.
“It is an insult to the women of our agency to imply that they are unqualified based on gender,” Anthony Guglielmi, the Secret Service communications chief, told NBC News.
