The U.S. Secret Service has denied diverting resources away from protecting former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally where he was the target of an assassination attempt, in order to protect first lady Jill Biden. Susan Crabtree of RealClearPolitics reported on social media that unnamed sources told her resources were diverted away from Trump to protect the first lady, who was also campaigning in Pennsylvania on Saturday.

"This is the problem that my Secret Sources have cited: Secret Services resources were diverted to Jill Biden's event and away from Trump's because they followed agency protocol applying to Trump as a former president, according to two sources within the Secret Service community," she wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

"There were also many supplemental agents from different field officers (not Trump's regular detail) providing security at the rally because Trump's regular detail has been overworked (some working seven days straight), and only two counter-snipers... Who made the decision to divert the resources to Jill Biden's event?"

Anthony Guglielmi, chief of communications for the Secret Service, responded to Crabtree's post, saying it was false. "We did not divert resources from FPOTUS Trump & protection models don't work that way," Guglielmi wrote.

6. Didn't see THAT conspiracy theory coming.

But I expect all the nimrods around me to keep repeating the claim.

8. Oh good grief.

So now it’s Jill Biden’s fault?

And his base is stupid enough to blame her. Critical thinking skills have gone out the window.

[niyad]

11. Well, yes, it is Jill's, and ALL women's fault. You must have missed the attacks

on the women agents and the woman head of the SS, and DEI.

[hamsterjill]

14. You're right.

Women are just evil, of course!!!!!

13. It was a strong source

I mean she heard it straight from Caturd or TruckersforTrump or some other very reliable sources.

[Emile]

15. Unnamed sources sure gets around.

[ificandream]

16. Republicans will come up with any excuse to blame this on Democrats.

Any conspiracy theory works for these clowns.

[Rocknation]

19. Especially since the shooter appears to have decided to risk martyrdom

because he couldn't let being a "fellow" Republican blind him to how totally unfit Trump was the job.
