So Kamala held a fundraiser in some Massachusetts town in a theater. There was a hair salon across from the back of the theater, and a couple days prior the Secret Service searched it and the rest of the building for bombs. This spooked the customers a bit, so the proprietor decided to just close on the day Kamala was in town, although it was a normally a high grossing day for the salon. The proprietor elected to leave that day and go on a mini vacation to Cape Cod
The day of Kamala‘s visit an apparent Secret Service agent walked up to the front door and taped over the ring camera above the door. Interior cameras later show that someone apparently forced the door and let various EMS and cops and Secret Service agents go in and out to use the bathroom, which they left in a mess. This was over a period of several hours while the burglar alarm was going off.
When everybody left, they left the front door unlocked.
She had been getting images on her phone from the ringing devices, but when she got back to town she wasn’t able to get into her shop until a couple hours after the circus left.
She started calling around to figure out what happened. Local EMS told her that the Secret Service had told them they could use the bathroom in the salon, but apparently the Secret Service just shrugged her off until a local news media contacted the Secret Service. A Secret Service spokesperson claimed that the Secret Service would never do anything like that without getting permission from the proprietor, but it is on video. Suddenly, she got a call from a local Secret Service office Chief, who apologized and offered to “deep clean” the shop and pay for a day of the alarm service.
Offering to clean is certainly the right thing to do, but the fact that the field personnel just felt like they could wander in the front door and use the place does not scream “professional“ nor respectful of citizens.
I’ve felt for many years now that the Secret Service is an organization that needs to be wiped clean and rebuilt. The latest fiascos, big and small, are just fuel for the fire.
