A senior U.S. Secret Service member suggested she would not take a bullet for President Trump in an October post on Facebook.
Kerry O’Grady said she would rather do “jail time” than take “a bullet” for Trump — who is a “disaster to this country,” she wrote in a post obtained by The Washington Examiner.
She also endorsed Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton for president.
In her post, O’Grady acknowledged that expressing her political beliefs on social media is a violation of the Hatch Act. The act prohibits executive branch members, excluding the president, vice president and other designed officials, from making partisan statements.
“As a public servant for nearly 23 years, I struggle to not violate the Hatch Act. So I keep quiet and skirt the median. To do otherwise can be a criminal offense for those in my position,” she wrote. “Despite the fact that I am expected to take a bullet for both sides. But this world has changed and I have changed. And I would take jail time over a bullet or an endorsement for what I believe to be disaster to this country and the strong and amazing women and minorities who reside here. Hatch Act be damned. I am with Her.”
This Agent needs to be severely reprimanded...
If she has some sort of problem performing the duties of her job then she should resign.
Or she could request a transfer to a different job in the Treasury Department like hunting counterfeiters or whatever the hell else they do.If she has some sort of problem performing the duties of her job then she should resign.
It's really as simple as that. SS agents are trained to disregard their own safety and protect at all costs the president. She obviously has deep biases that would effect her training. She must go.
I thought I read that Trump is continuing to pay for his personal security, as he has little confidence in the SS.
I'd just assign her to some real shitty SS detail that she'd surely dislike.
She should resign at once. You can't have this kind of insubordination involving a president.
