Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned today after several Democrats and Republicans in Congress demanded in a hearing yesterday that she step down. The most extraordinary aspect of the Congressional hearing was how nonpartisan it was. After all, the lives of both Democratic and Republican politicians depend on the Secret Service.
The same can’t be said about the media. It has shown a shocking lack of interest in covering the attempted assassination of former president Donald Trump and the failure of the Secret Service to prevent it. Just imagine for a moment how differently the media would have covered an assassination attempt against former president Barack Obama. It would have been wall-to-wall coverage.
