Cheatle apparently considers it a virtue important enough to be mentioned in the very first paragraph of her professional biography.<\/p>\n<p>In the aftermath of Saturday\u2019s very <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/got-gun-new-video-shows-rallygoers-warning-law-enforcement-trump-shooter-tragedy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nearly successful attempt<\/a> to assassinate former President Donald Trump, it\u2019s looking more like a disgrace.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.secretservice.gov\/about\/leadership\/director\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cheatle\u2019s profile<\/a> on the Secret Service website says it all:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe is responsible for successfully executing the agency\u2019s integrated mission of protection and investigations by leading a <strong>diverse<\/strong> workforce composed of more than 7,800 Special Agents, Uniformed Division Officers, Technical Law Enforcement Officers, and Administrative, Professional, and Technical personnel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The word \u201cdiverse\u201d isn\u2019t bold in the original, but it might as well be. The only reason a woman who oversees an agency that should be dedicated to preserving the lives of presidents and would-be presidents would even mention the makeup of her staff with a term that connotes racial and sexual \u201cidentities\u201d \u2014 and do it in the second sentence of her bio \u2014 is that she considers it vital in the United States of 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Conservative commentator Mike Cernovic drew attention to the document in a post on the social media platform X on Saturday night.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Director of Secret Service <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/N2GDHxujR3\">pic.twitter.com\/N2GDHxujR3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Cernovich (@Cernovich) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Cernovich\/status\/1812290833649152176?\">July 14, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, there are obviously a couple of other things that should be vital to the Secret Service besides whom its agents choose to have sex with \u2014 like, say, securing vantage points at events where a once-and-potentially future president is addressing a huge crowd outdoors.<\/p>\n<p>But on Saturday, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trumps-assassin-identified-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gunman<\/a> was able to fire on a Trump rally from a roof of a building nearby, killing a member of the audience and wounding two others, in addition to nearly murdering Trump himself.<\/p>\n<p>In the wake of the shooting, unanswered questions \u2014 like whether the gunman acted alone and how much the political polarization of the country, and years of incessant attacks on Trump by the Democratic Party and establishment media contributed to it \u2014 circulated around the country.<\/p>\n<p>But there is no question that the shooting represented a cataclysmic failure by Cheatle\u2019s agency \u2014 and that oh-so \u201cdiverse workforce\u201d she\u2019s so proud of.<\/p>\n<p>According to her profile, Cheatle spent 27 years with the Secret Service, reaching the position of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rush-to-judgement-three-crucial-questions-remain-unanswered-about-capitol-siege\/\" title=\"Rush to judgement?

And if Saturday\u2019s events are any indication, PepsiCo got the better end of that move. Cheatle\u2019s obsession with \u201cdiversity\u201d is clearly not doing the Secret Service any favors.<\/p>\n<p>In May, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/dei-disaster-petition-circulating-within-secret-service-community-warns-potential-insider-threats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">petition made the news<\/a> demanding an investigation into whether the agency\u2019s training is adequate or whether \u201cdiversity\u201d concerns had watered it down.
