Former President Donald Trump walked out at the RNC convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Monday with a bandaged ear and an all-male Secret Service detail following his attempted assassination on Saturday in Pennsylvania.

The former president walked out surrounded by the “A-Team” of secret service who all happen to be males, presumably following the scrutiny that was put towards their fellow female agents, as seen in a tweet by the account DC Draino.
Female officers were falling behind on Saturday and many took to social media to share their concerns. A female agent is taking heat on X for appearing to not be able to get her gun holstered after the detail have secured Trump in a vehicle.

Kim Cheatle, the female director of the Secret Service, has greatly emphasized diversity hires and stated that her goal is to have 30% of the Secret Service recruits be female by 2030, as stated in a CBS interview in May. “I’m very conscious as I sit in this chair now, of making sure that we need to attract diverse candidates and ensure that we are developing and giving opportunities to everybody in our workforce, and particularly women,” Cheatle told the outlet.
Secret Service Director a few months ago: We’re focusing on hiring more women to be more diverse.
Yesterday:
– Female agent couldn’t holster gun.
– Female agent frantically shouted “what are we doing? Where are we going?” after the shots.
