Jill Biden Orchestrated Kimberly Cheatle Heading the Secret Service, Now Everyone Is Doubling Down

  

How exactly did Kimberly Cheatle rise the lead the United States Secret Service? A new report points the finger at Jill Biden, stating that she and her top advisor pushed for the appointment.

That decision culminated in an attempted assassination of Donald Trump on Saturday. The former president was shot in the ear, narrowly avoiding death while a chaotic and clumsy response from the Secret Service followed. It was a disastrous event for an agency with a zero-fail mission. 

Embattled Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who is facing congressional outcry and calls to resign over security lapses leading to former President Donald Trump’s near-assassination Saturday, landed her role thanks largely to a close relationship with first lady Jill Biden, The Post has learned…

…Four sources close to President Biden’s family, including people who interacted with Cheatle during the Obama-Biden administration, said she was well liked by the future first lady and her most senior aides, including top adviser Anthony Bernal.

“Cheatle served on Dr. Biden’s second lady detail and Anthony pushed for her,” a Democratic insider told The Post. “Anthony has no national security or law enforcement experience. He should have no influence over the selection of the USSS director.”

“I heard at the time she was being considered for director that Anthony had pushed her forward as an option,” another well-placed source told The Post.

This news will no doubt stir further controversy given past reports that Secret Service members were pulled off Trump’s detail to bolster a Jill Biden appearance in Pennsylvania on the same day. It’s also emblematic of the Biden administration’s larger failures. Cheatle is a strong supporter of DEI, having pledged for the Secret Service to be 30 percent female by 2030 as part of a “diversity” push. Unmentioned was why someone’s sex is more important than simply hiring the most capable people available, and that includes physical stature given the job at hand. 

That the Bidens would prioritize box-checking over qualifications isn’t surprising. What’s somewhat surprising is just how defiant Cheatle has been publicly since the assassination attempt. After the shooting, she gave an interview in which she pointedly refused to even consider resigning. 

There was a time when this wouldn’t even be a question. What happened on Saturday was the worst Secret Service disaster since Ronald Reagan was shot. In some ways, given modern technology and the fact that the shooter was completely exposed on a low-lying rooftop at a relatively short range, the situation surrounding Trump was a bigger failure

Yet, as has become customary with the Biden administration no one is ever held accountable, and no one ever takes responsibility. Certainly not someone who is intersectional and has the ear of Jill Biden, who many suspect is essentially running the White House. Disgraced DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas gave Cheatle a vote of confidence on Monday. 

None of this is going to change on its own. The only way through this is to vote Biden out of office and fire every single one of these failed department heads.
