    She was totally unqualified for this position.

    No more DEI. You either earn it or you don't...
  • Apparently she is protecting something bigger and would rather not answer and resign - after all, we need a commission of inquiry
  • @gechli3433
    In similar situation, her counterpart in Japan would bow low in public apologizing profusely, or even commit suicide. And she had the gall to say that she was the best even after the assassination attempt!
  • Does she have a deputy to take over one assumes? Now they report that the snipers assigned to the AGR roof at Butler farm was too hot and they went inside after Trump was an hour late.

    Why do women and children get to leave first during an emergency? So that the men can think of a solution. Adios lady.

    Gone to guard Doritos! Good riddance!
  • @NghiaNguyen-qq7yx
    she only resigned because they said they were going to subpoena her phone records.
  • Remove as well all diversity hires who do not meet the required competency standards.
  • @mrradman2986
    9 days overdue. Hopefully forfeiture of pension and she must still be required to assist with the investigation into the attempted assassination.

    Why does Biden get to appoint another secret service director when he appointed this one?
  • @MrR1D3R
    Next question, who was the on scene commander?
