The fake news media and the Democrats are trying to create another fake scandal today, screaming that President Trump has “revoked” Kamala Harris’s Secret Service protection. The truth, as always, is much simpler and more responsible.
President Trump has not taken away anything she was entitled to. He has simply put an end to a special, last-minute sweetheart deal that Joe Biden tried to give his failed running mate on his way out the door. The era of special treatment for the Democrat elite is over.
A Return to Normalcy
Here are the simple facts. Former Vice Presidents are typically afforded a Secret Service detail for six months after they leave office. Kamala Harris’s time is up. In fact, her husband Doug Emhoff’s taxpayer-funded security detail was already removed back in July, right on schedule.
So what is this all about? Before leaving office, Joe Biden signed a special executive memorandum to give Harris an extra year of protection beyond the normal period. President Trump has simply rescinded that inappropriate, last-minute order. This isn’t a punishment – it is a return to the normal rules that apply to everyone else.
Taxpayers Shouldn’t Fund Her Book Tour
The timing of this “controversy” tells you everything you need to know. Kamala Harris is about to kick off a nationwide, for-profit tour for her new book, “107 Days.”
Why should you, the American taxpayer, be forced to foot the bill for the private security of a failed politician while she travels the country promoting her book and trying to launch her next campaign?
The answer is simple: you shouldn’t. She is now a private citizen, and she can pay for her own security just like every other private citizen.
Fiscal Responsibility is Back
This is a simple, common-sense decision from a President who is a responsible steward of our tax dollars.
The days of Democrats using the power of the White House to hand out special perks and taxpayer-funded favors to their political friends are over. President Trump is restoring fairness and fiscal sanity to Washington. This is not a scandal – it is the right and responsible thing to do.
