Donald Trump jumps to defend female Secret Service agent who 'shielded' him from assassination
Former President Trump defended the "brave" female Secret Service who "shielded" him during the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.
BUTLER, Penn. – Former President Trump leaped to the defense of a female Secret Service agent who "shielded" him during an assassination attempt, after she faced blistering online criticism.
"I don’t know how they didn’t get hit," Trump told thousands at a St. Cloud, Minnesota, rally on Saturday as he recalled how "bullets were flying" and the security detail had rushed to shield his body.
"Every one of them – there wasn’t one that was slow. A woman who was on my right, she was shielding me," he said. "Beautiful person – she was shielding me, everything she could. And she got crushed. And she got criticized by the fake news because she wasn’t tall enough."
Trump said that the unidentified female agent was "so brave" and "wanted to take a bullet" for the 45th president.
"Well, you know, she wasn’t tall enough. Because I’m tall, and she wasn’t tall enough. And she was criticized – she was so brave, she was shielding me with everything, she wanted to take a bullet, because the bullets were flying. Incredible."
I don't blame her. She jumped right in there without hesitation and did her job trying to protect President Trump. It was the other couple of doofus females, especially the one that couldn't even holster her firearm who were jumping around doing a hut-hut pretending like they were doing something.
