It was abundantly clear during Cheatle's testimony that she was either lying and simply refusing to offer any meaningful answers, or her incompetence is so profound that she was entirely oblivious to what had taken place. She didn't have the faintest clue who was supposed to be responsible for anything. She should have been fired and criminally prosecuted.

The main issue os not the failure islef. It's her incapability to do SOMETHING about it. She made no changes, failed to speak to key agents and witnesses, had no answers whatsoever, didn't even visit the site afterwards. She said she made "some changes" but failed to explain what changes. If people had seen she is diligent would be more forgiving. People saw her PASSIVITY, she seems to expect the issue to be solved by everyone else but her. This is not what a LEADER does.

[@reekinronald6776]

If you look at her Wiki page, there are some red flags. She was working for the secret service from 1995 as a security agent, but in 2017 she jumped up to management positions but it looks like she jumped to 3 different management positions in 2 years in the SS before jumping to Pepsi for about 2 years then jumping back to the SS. if you are staying in a position for only a year or less, this means that you are either passed around "to be someone elses problem" or the employee realizes their incompetence and jumps around before their incompetence if found out. I've been in business, and I've seen it before.

20 years ago I worked at the US Embassy in Tokyo contracted under PAE. When Dick Cheney was to come to Tokyo in 2003 for meetings in the US Embassy, it was his Secret Service Advance Team whom I was tasked with escorting through site preparation as an Embassy contracted employee. This involved going over every single potential breach of security location that could be identified, and securing it. This is always done and maintained prior to the event and fully secured throughout. In these past 20 years, it seems incredible to me looking at the complete incompetence of the current Secret Service, if what happened to Donald Trump wasn't an actual planned assassination attempt from within, that is.

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

I think one of the reasons they wanted her to resign is because a majority of officials felt she should have immediately gone to the site to investigate the situation and get as much first hand information as possible. Also, as the head of the Secret Service she should have had a press conference fairly quickly to explain to the public what was happening regarding the incident. Apparently she also didn’t inform officials in the White House or congress regarding the incident. In fact she stonewalled and ignored senators questions regarding the incident. This all shows a lack of leadership, a lack of transparency and a lack of accountability. In my opinion her actions make it appear she is covering something up. What she may be covering up I don’t know but her defiance has been a pattern of repeated behavior from many other leaders of government agencies under the Biden administration; such as the FBI, Homeland Security, ATF and others who refuse to answer simple questions during congressional investigations. I’ve watched plenty of these investigations online in the last several years where these leaders circle around the questions, deflect and in the end they take zero accountability for any failures.

l cannot see why Madame Director failed to see why she HAD to resign. Her job was to protect her client which she failed to do. Any private business, if you fail to do your job, you are fired. Madame Director did not visit the site, which is tantamount to not realize the seriousness of the situation -- it is required to fully understand even what you are talking about (think of her comments on the roof pitch). l think she had to resign, but should have done so before the political heat was too great.

[@ChrisHodges87]

As a former US Naval Officer and graduate of the Naval Academy* I believe the Captain is responsible for the ship. That means making sure people are trained and execute the mission required. When they fail due to training or incompetence and not some unpredictable cause, it is the captain’s ultimate responsibility. If not his/her responsibility then why are they in charge and in charge of what? What are they being paid for? The government is nearly filled with people who are not held accountable for their actions or the failure of their teams. For the real leaders among them, this is poison to their souls. Btw-This is also common in business. The more people are held accountable, I.e. fired, jailed, fined as appropriate, when they fail, the better the ships and companies are run. Dr. Grande you are in my opinion, wrong to think she should not have been fired. It sends a very clear message and a message that should be sent. As for the DEI issue, these agents should be fit, nimble and physically imposing enough to block the bad guys from the target. That is the mission. Three of these agents in the video do not meet those requirements regardless of gender. *I included this only to explain my experience and training.

[@nahalastone8027]

A reasonable observation in a sea of discrimination. There are definitely issues with DEI, but many comments here are telling on themselves. Instead of focusing on incompetence or lack of training, the focus is on gender or color. The sad irony is people like this are the reason DEI programs are necessary. Even if she were qualified, these people would still call her a DEI hire and blame her incompetence on being a woman, and not her failure at the job she was hired to do. They've weaponized the term "DEI hire" to be discriminatory, instead of focusing on the issues with DEI itself. The best candidates should be hired to fill positions, regardless of gender or color or disability. And in 2024, it should not be difficult for an employer to hire qualified employees from a wide range of diversity. But employers shouldn't feel pressured to fill spots with unqualified people just to avoid censure. Yet, if you look at the comments, it's obvious DEI is still necessary because people are still equating failure with gender/color instead of incompetence.

Congress wanted Cheatle to step down because she refused to answer basic questions that were easily obtainable. In fact, earlier that morning Congress received most of these answers from local police in Butler, Penn. So the questions were more of an honesty test. Instead of showing Congress that she was a strong leader able to help navigate this country through a serious crisis, instead she decided to play along with the FBI and their political shell game. This only makes the problem worse.

[@kayzbluegenes]

I recently retired from a company whose CEO was amazing (for many reasons). He trusted his managers to interview prospective candidates for their departments, but insisted on 'meeting' with the 'finalist' prior to their official hiring. This CEO had an uncanny knack for discerning, not only professionally qualified individuals, but those that would best 'fit in' with our corporate culture. He even marveled (as did we all) how diverse (by natural selection) our workforce was. This is a small company (grew from 20 to 30 employees while I was there); yet virtually every age, many races, gender, etc. was represented. This company is very successful, thriving and growing; shows what can be accomplished when the best qualified applicant is hired.

She got the job purely because she became a friend of Jill Biden when Joe was vice president. Clearly it was Jill who appointed her as Joe has been incapable of such decision making for several year now. Ultimately it is Jill Biden who is to blame. It will also be interesting to see if the encrypted messages sent between herself and the White House in the lead up to the assassination attempt are released. It is possible that Jill Biden was actively seeking to weaken the extent of Trump's SS protection.

Kimberly Cheatle was representative of the overarching DEI culture pervasive in DC and corporations. Many people feel entitled, owed by the government. Hard workers are disdained, seen as racist.

I guess the presidents, former presidents and candidates are quite important. Even if it was a lower level person in charge he/she would be among the best there is. It should also have been one of the top priorities for the Director. So what would I expect of a Secret Service director. 1, make sure that people in important positions are the most qualified, best trained and have all the resources required. She failed. 2. the director should be able to provided an first assessment 1-2 days after the event and a comprehensive assessment after 1 week. She failed again.

[@DavidHBurkart]

Agree with this 100%. The highest responsibility of the Secret Service is protecting US presidents, past, present, and viable candidates for the office. When your subordinates fail their mission, the director gets involved immediately, thoroughly, and decisively. She failed in all three of these categories, having no viable idea of how to proceed other than to give herself a 60 day window to investigate and conclude how the mission failed... highlighting her leadership of complacency and ingrained beauracracy

How many times do we see a blind person or a person in a wheelchair working at a job out in the world? I'll tell you how many times...almost NEVER. It's got to be addressed, it's a huge problem. As for Kim Cheatle, if she had just pretended to care during the hearing, she might still have her job. But it seemed like she didn't care. I also wish they'd have a hearing for the director of homeland security, because as I understand it, he's her boss, and is ultimately more responsible than she is.

We're all in our 50s (her bday is just days from mine), so I'm glad she found something. She mentioned the professor at base had a friend who was blun, so that's why I suspect the position might have been created/adapted for her (I feel like it's something that would normally be incorporated into another person's responsibilities, since it's busy at some times, slow or dead others).

This zero failure nature doesn’t merely result in "fear", it necessarily results in ACCOUNTABILITY, URGENCY, AND MAINTENANCE OF STANDARDS. "Kimberly" was a DEI hire by the partisan Bidens. "Kimberly" instituted destructive DEI policies that resulted in ridiculous situations such as under-strengthed 5'3" chubby females physically guarding a 6'3" former President. "Kimberly", a DEI hire was part of a highly-partisan culture who's mortal political enemy was the very man she was assigned to protect. This, after numerous partisan attempts were made to remove this mortal political enemy as an obstacle to her benefactor's reelection. Indeed, those on her side actively tried to remove Secret Service protection from their mortal enemy based on the grounds of the bogus partisan conviction of their mortal enemy.
