Undoubtedly, the recent incident involving a female member of the presidential protection detail during an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump is evidence enough to question the suitability of women in such high-risk roles.
In a disturbing snapshot circulated online, this woman can be seen cowering rather than fulfilling her duty during a critical situation:

The image has sparked an extensive debate on X, previously known as Twitter, about whether women should serve in the Secret Service:
I absolutely agree. Women should not be in the secret service. pic.twitter.com/DgQGW5nBJN

One user rightly pointed out, “Anyone directly protecting the president should be a very large male with the capability of not only completely shielding him but also being able to carry him if necessary.”

This image isn’t an isolated case against this argument. The same woman’s further actions seemed amateurish and novice-like – she looked confused and even struggled to holster her firearm.
WATCH:
There should not be any women in the Secret Service. These are supposed to be the very best, and none of the very best at this job are women.

What a major embarrassment!
Director of Secret Service Kimberly Cheatle said she’s aiming to make the Secret Service more diverse and hire more women.
This female agent couldn’t even holster her gun today during the attempted ass*ss*nat*on of Trump.

It’s high time we reconsider these DEI hires that compromise national security:
Absolute humiliation for this gaggle of female Secret Service Agents.
Look at the disorder:
– Can’t holster weapons
– Gear falling to the ground
– Erratic, fearful movements
– No show of force, composureDEI Secret Service make Presidents LESS Safepic.twitter.com/o6HcHzxEUw

I agree, women (and short, weak men) should NOT be on the protection detail.
there were two women. yeah, that one couldn’t even find her holster to put her pistol away but the OTHER ONE had her act together.
