But one narrative has quickly taken hold in parts of the right-wing media ecosystem: The security failure was the result of workforce diversity initiatives and women working as Secret Service agents.
Matt Walsh, a far-right media personality, wrote a series of posts on the social media platform X assailing the notion of women working as Secret Service agents.
“There should not be any women in the Secret Service.
“Female agents were also among those guarding Trump’s armored SUV as it prepared to depart the scene,” said Campbell.
Associations that represent women in law enforcement reacted to the unfounded attacks on female agents with disappointment and alarm.
