Forrest Gump said, “Stupid is as Stupid does,” and this organization is filled with it.

The answer is … NOTHING!
The Secret Service has morally collapsed, and now any conservative assigned to be under their protection is in danger. On July 13th, when an assassination attempt on Donald Trump failed, it was not because of heroic measures by the Secret Service; in fact, it failed in spite of them.
In another column I wrote after the assassination, I labeled the Secret Service’s involvement in what took place as “Intentional Incompetence.” The reason for my opinion is simple: there is absolutely no way that an organization that is specifically trained to protect a group or individual could possibly be that inept. What took place on July 13 was intentional. A look the other way scenario orchestrated to eliminate a former president and the current GOP nominee for the same office.
Since that event, many have suggested that DEI had much to do with the chaos that took place, and frankly, that plays into the incompetence aspect of my theory. If you want to be deliberately incompetent, put someone in charge who knows what’s happening and surround that person with incompetence. They aren’t experienced or intelligent enough to question what is being set up and blindly follow orders. If you need proof, watch the stooges surrounding Trump as he's being loaded into his SUV. One woman is wandering around, while another can't holster her weapon. This, of course, is after a punk with a loaded rifle was allowed to enter with a range finder, climb up onto an unattended roof, and fire eight shots, narrowly missing, killing Trump, killing one, and seriously wounding two others.
Lots of failures. Lots of scrutiny, lots of supposed reform, yet what has changed? NOTHING!
All of the thanks for this information go to Susan Crabtree, a RealClearPolitics National Political Correspondent.
It should be noted that Crabtree has sources within the Secret Service and receives information in real time. Knowing that the story is reliable really highlights the organization's inadequacies. How is it possible that an incident like this would take place just two months after an assassination attempt when the Secret Service was embarrassed by its incompetence?
For whatever reason, DEI or otherwise, the Secret Service is filled with ineptitude. Those in charge used that lack of proficiency to allegedly set Trump up in Butler, Pennsylvania. In that case, the plan failed, but the lack of ability within the organization remains and will continue to be exposed.
The bottom line is this: the Secret Service is now ravaged by unskilled and uncaring individuals who are overseen by evil characters who use those traits to benefit the left. What they can’t control are occurrences like what took place in North Carolina.
Forrest Gump said, “Stupid is as Stupid does,” and this organization is filled with it. The Secret Service is discovering that while useful at times, stupidity and inexperience cannot always be controlled. Unless corrected, there will be collateral damage, and lives will be lost. The question is, do the ring leaders of this ineptness even care?
