She was criticized for failing to prevent the assassination attempt on Trump.

    The response to those shootings was exactly by the book while the response in Trump’s case was sheer incompetence. You can’t control the shooter, but you can control the readiness and response and those were abysmal this time.

      It seems like you’re saying two different things. Isn’t “by the book” almost the opposite of “sheer incompetence”?

        I’m not sure if you saw my edit that tries to clarify this point. The two attacks mentioned had secret service handle things by the book and no one got fired. This time with the Trump attack, was the opposite. Sorry for any confusion.
