Senator Mike Lee ridiculed the Secret Service, saying it should have ‘held a conference called ‘How to Protect Presidential Candidates and Former Presidents,’ or maybe ‘Don’t Leave A Rooftop Unattended.’ Instead, the Secret Service holds events like this one.’
(LifeSiteNews) — Amid reports of lapses in protective service training for its agents and its devastatingly poor coverage of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump resulting in injuries and death, the U.S. Secret Service is prioritizing sending employees to an LGBTQ+ “Out & Equal” Summit.

News that the Secret Service is sending staff to the Summit at Disney World in Orlando, Florida, is “rankling many rank-and-file special agents and Uniformed Division officers,” according to Susan Crabtree, RealClearPolitics national political correspondent.
Agents and other staff will attend the Disney Summit to learn and embrace their queer “magic” and “magnificence” as recounted in a video clip of last year’s “Out & Equal Workplace Summit Highlights.”
“A large number of Secret Service employees are working so hard — many seven-day work weeks with no time off — that they’ve already hit their ‘supermax limit’ for overtime pay, meaning they can no longer receive overtime for their work,” Crabtree noted. “One special agent characterized that phenomenon as essentially working for free.”
“Many special agents and Uniformed Division officers say the call for nominees for the LGBTQ+ conference at the height of campaign season is tone-deaf when resources are stretched so thin — especially in the wake of the J13 assassination attempt against former Pres. Trump that killed Corey Comperatore,” Crabtree said. She continued:
The email also comes less than a week after the Secret Service announced that its employees are so overworked by the security requirements of protecting former Pres. Trump, JD Vance, Kamala Harris, Tim Walz + other protectees, as well as the United Nations General Assembly, scheduled for NYC later this month, that the U.S. military is being called on to supplement Secret Service personnel. That help from DoD will continue throughout 2024 through at least Inauguration Day, the USSS announced Thursday.
Senator Josh Hawley: ‘You’ve gotta be kidding me’
The news, treated as a non-story by woke legacy media, has been met with alarm in conservative circles.
“I wish Secret Service had held a conference called ‘How to Protect Presidential Candidates and Former Presidents,’ or maybe ‘Don’t Leave a Rooftop Unattended,’” Republican U.S. Sen. Mike Lee of Utah wrote on X.
“Instead, Secret Service holds events like this one — even though it has nothing to do with keeping protectees safe,” Lee said.
