Washington Post: Right-wing influencers use Trump assassination attempt to attack DEI

https://www.yahoo.com/news/wing-infl...230935823.html
Within hours of the shooting at the Trump rally in Pennsylvania, right-wing media pundits and conservative influencers coalesced around an unfounded narrative on social media: the reason Donald Trump was injured was because of female Secret Service agents and diversity, equity and inclusion programs.

The unsubstantiated accusation arose after photos and edited videos featuring female Secret Service agents spread online, along with allegations that the assassination attempt on Trump happened because the head of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, is a woman. Conservative media pundit Ann Coulter promoted a petition calling for the firing of Cheatle, citing the Secret Service chief’s goal of increasing the number of female agents to 30 percent.
This is how you know it's true, propaganda like this.

1. Smear anyone critical of the agents as "right-wing"
2. Lie about what they said, here: "the reason Donald Trump was injured was because of female Secret Service agents and DEI programs"
3. Lie more, say they are the ones lying.

We saw, with our own eyes, the detail, which was incompetent and over-represented with tiny girls, how they were doing a chitty job. Saw a male agent or two ducking for cover rather than protecting the President, too. The reason Trump was injured was because of the incompetence that allowed a sniper to go unchecked, which is being generous and not presenting the more-and-more sane theory that it was outright being allowed or an inside job.

WaPo being chit as always, though
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

And then say 'shared edited videos of female agents'....

That's a completely deceitful statement as simply zooming in, slowing down, or cropping is considered 'editing' but the media makes it sound like the videos were faked. They're not. The one doughy woman couldn't even holster her weapon. But since a lot of videos cropped her into frame, technically it can be considered 'edited'. Fkn propaganda.

I think they planned on allowing scenarios like this.

I read somewhere a quote of the counter-sniper:I was told to stand down, but after the shots I ignored the directive and took the shot.(paraphrased and not confirmed)
